[Elecraft] K3 - RTTY Question

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.
