Tom,
I agree with you, but we are probably in a minority.  RTTY has ALWAYS been 
2125 Mark and Space 170, 425, or 850 cycles (I'm old, Hz if you must) away 
from that.  If you don't like the pitch of 2125/2295 for 170 cycle RTTY, 
THEN change it, don't make the "normal" users suffer.  There, I said it, hi. 
I have listened to those tones for so many years I can decode CQ, QBF, RY's 
in my head by the rhythm.  I haven't tried the K3 on RTTY yet, Tom, so I may 
have to ask you a LOT of questions when I do.  I am still using my IC-7700, 
as RTTY (except the built in encoder/decoder not understanding "word out") 
is one thing Icom got right on that rig.  I'm an "old stick in the mud", 
still using the old HAL gear mostly, hi.
73,
Don, WB5HAK
