[Elecraft] K3 - N1MM - RTTY

[Richard Ferch]

Jim,

This is not a mode question, it's a matter of how you set your filters. 
What you see in the MMTTY waterfall/spectrum display is controlled by 
how you have set the Shift and Width controls on the K3 (and the dual 
tone filter, if you are using it), not by what mode the radio is in. I'd 
suggest you try turning the dual tone filter off while you are S&Ping, 
and opening up the width control if you want to see what is on either 
side of you.

MMTTY's X-Y display can be very useful for tuning in signals accurately. 
You can set it to "reverse rotation" in MMTTY, which I find easier to 
use than the default.

On receive, FSK D and AFSK A are basically the same. The difference is 
in how you key the transmitter. For RTTY, AFSK A and FSK D both have 
tuning, filtering and decoding aids that aren't available in DATA A. 
Also, DATA A is on the opposite sideband to AFSK A, so you have to set 
MMTTY to "Rev" when using DATA A.

73,
Rich VE3KI
