[Elecraft] Very LOW RTTY audio solution and request

[Tommy Alderman]

Yesterday I posted that in FSK D I had low to no audio from my new K3. One
would immediately suspect I had not RTFM, but in this case I have read it
and am in the process of re-reading it.

While the low RTTY audio problem is solved, there is nowhere in the manual,
that I can find, that tells a new user that in the DATA mode, evidentially
the PITCH function changes. The description about PITCH at the bottom of
page 31, second column ambiguously alludes to this function. Since my RX BW
is still set for a flat response, I am not really sure why setting the PITCH
to 915 -170 is what is required to bring the RTTY audio level back up to
normal. And I have no idea what my software has to do with the issue. The
'normal' RTTY MARK frequency is 2125, so I'm still trying to understand why
I have to set PITCH to 915 in order to be able to hear it.

Perhaps in a later revision of the K3 manual, this area could be explained
or explained more clearly.

Thanks tons to the three gents who tried to help me.
