This weekend I used my K-3 on RTTY for the first time. Using the K-3's
AFSK-A mode along with N1MM & MMTTY.
I quickly noticed that I was off frequency by differing amounts on each
band and seldom would anyone come back to me when I called them. So I called
CQ myself and waited for people to call me and then went tuning to see
what freq. they were on. To tune callers in on 20-meters it usually required
an RIT setting of +0.10 while on 40-meters they usually called in with RIT
at -0.10 ... seemed to be a little different on each band.
Question: Is there a way prior to operating, to setup the K-3 so the
transmitted RTTY is on freq. on each band?
By the way, when I did get the K-3 on frequency is worked greatll!
Thanks & 73,

N1MM shows PSK mode on top of the logging window when the K3
> is in Data A mode but seems to transmit RTTY OK.
Depends on what you have set in the "Mode Control" tab of
the N1MM Logger configuration dialog. I generally set
RTTY to RTTY for FSK and set PSK to PSK (DATA A) for PSK.
If you want to use AFSK for RTTY, I would set RTTY to AFSK
and use AFSK A as the data mode in the K3.
The only way the data mode matters to N1MM Logger is what
it records in the log. If you set N1MM to record contest
mode, it won't care what the radio mode is.
