>> Hello Adriano,

>> You didn't say whether you were using FSK D or AFSK A, or what software
>> you were using. I will assume that when you say "on the scope" you mean
>> on the waterfall in software such as MMTTY.
>>
>> If your radio is in FSK D, then it can receive on any frequency within

>> corresponding to the PITCH setting. If you click on a signal in the
>> waterfall to receive it, the frequency you choose in the software's
>> waterfall will probably not be the same as the one the radio will
>> transmit on. If you use the K3's MONitor function to listen to your
>> transmitted signal, you can hear whether the transmitted and received
>> frequencies are the same.

>> Depending on the software you are using and its capabilities, there are
>> advanced methods to use mouse-tuning and AFC in FSK RTTY, but the
>> simplest solution to this problem is never to use clicking in the
>> waterfall to find a signal when you are using FSK. If you are CQing, you

>> who is CQing you should turn AFC off. In MMTTY, you can use the HAM
>> button to ensure that your receive frequency will be the same as your
>> transmit frequency. You should configure the HAM default to be the same
>> as the radio's PITCH setting.

>> If your radio is in AFSK A, it can transmit on the same frequency it

>> receiving is the one in the PITCH setting and the HAM button. If you are
>> using MMTTY software the easiest way to ensure that your transmit and
>> receive frequencies are the same is to turn NET on. With NET on you can
>> safely use mouse-clicking to tune in a signal to work. However, if you
>> are calling CQ you should turn NET off, and use the HAM button before
>> your first transmission to establish your transmit frequency. If the
>> other station comes back off-frequency you can use AFC or a mouse-click
>> to copy the other station's signal, but as soon as the QSO is completed
>> you should click on the HAM button to return to your original transmit
>> frequency.
