[Elecraft] Very LOW RTTY audio solution and request

[Don Wilhelm]

  Tommy,

Your software has everything to do with decoding the audio.  The 
software application must be set to decode at the same pitch that the K3 
is sending it.  You could have changed either the K3 pitch setting or 
the frequency in your software application.

If your software worked when the K3 was set to 915, then the most likely 
answer is that the software application was already set to 915 - IIRC 
the default setting for MTTY is 915 Hz.

I am not certain what more could be put in the manual.

73,
Don W3FPR
