[Elecraft] K3: Sending RTTY from the paddle

[Tom Wylie]

I haven't tried this myself but have seen somebody else do it.   Does 
anyone know if it is possible to send CW from say a laptop and to be 
transmitted as RTTY......

Couple of weeks ago I was on vacation in EA8 and ran my microham unit 
with a laptop running win-test in expedition mode into my K3.

I would liked to have worked the TS7C who were loud with me on rtty, 
after all I could copy them on the LCD readout of the K3.   I did not 
have a paddle with me but sent CW from the laptop keyboard.
I tried to get it to send RTTY but only got a tone........

I assume if one is using the internal keyer of the K3 you may only input 
CW via a paddle?
