[Elecraft] [K-3] RTTY for Dummies

[Don Wilhelm]

  If you really want to add " RTTY for Dummies" and really get down to 
basics, I would add the initial first steps - connect the computer 
soundcard line out to the K3 line in, and connect the computer line in 
to the K3 line out - both using stereo cables with 3.5mm plugs on each end.

After that, do the steps that Bill indicated.

A bit of further information - set the computer soundcard output level 
and the K3 Line IN level to produce 4 bars on the ALC display with the 
5th bar flashing - that will assure you have the correct audio drive 
level, then set the desired power output with the power knob on the K3.

73,
