Hi Everyone,

I just bought a K3 a few weeks ago and have been using it on CW.  It's time to play with it a bit on RTTY.  I'm using the Tigetronics Signalink to interface the radio to my PC which is running MMTTY.  When I have the mode switch in the sideband position, copy on the laptop is just fine and the signals display properly on the tuning aids in MMTTY.  I read the manual pages about better performance if the DATA mode is selected.  I switched to the DATA mode and there is very little audio in the speaker and no signals displayed on the tuning aids in MMTTY.  No copy either.  I double-checked the data mode setting and it is AFSK-A which I think is correct.  I must have a setting wrong somewhere.  I've gone over the data section in the manual a few more times but don't see what I'm doing wrong.  Any ideas?

Thanks and 73,
