[Elecraft] K3 RTTY decode enabled??

[T. David Yarnes]

Joe,

RTTY transmit and receive are both enabled on the K3.  You 
need to turn it on however.  Go to "digital mode", and then 
you need to set your K3 to RTTY by using both the "8" and 
"9" buttons on the keypad.  Both are accessed by "holding" 
rather than just "tapping".  On the "8" button you set it to 
"On" using VFO B's dial.  You can set the threshold at any 
level, but zero is usually fine.  Exit that menu with 
another "hold".  On the "9" button you will select the 
method for decoding.  Select the FSK D option.  Exit that 
menu now with another "hold"  Now if you just "tap" the "8" 
button you can turn on the "CWT" tuning indicator.  You will 
see a small, inverted triangle on your display centered over 
the S meter line.  As you tune across an RTTY signal you 
want to get to a point where you see (hopefully) 3 bars on 
each side of the triangle.  At that point the K3 should 
display the RTTY being sent.  The display will probably 
already being displaying characters before you get to that 
point, but it will be hash.  Now you can also transmit RTTY 
if you wish, simply by sending CW using your paddle.

I've probably bastardized the explanation of this, but it's 
all in the manual.
