[Elecraft] Where does my K3 transmit?

I had forgotten that the K3 will transmit PSK31 and RTTY without an 
external computer.  So,

MODE        TX FREQ
-------------------
CW          What the dial reads
USB         Supp Carrier at the dial, energy up
LSB         Supp Carrier at the dial, energy down
RTTY        ???
PSK31       ???

I know on CW, if a station is transmitting on 14050.000 KHz and I set 
his tone in my cans to 570 Hz [my PITCH frequency], I will be 
transmitting exactly on his frequency and if you were listening, we'd 
sound the same to you, and my VFO will read 14.050.000  I don't know how 
the K3 brings that off, and really don't care, I just know it does.

I've never used the paddle --> RTTY or PSK31.  Any help on how that 
works?  I didn't find it in KT7X's book, but I'm poking around in the 
MNQP and didn't spend a lot of time looking, the Minnesota Mobiles 
change counties fast :-)
