[Elecraft] First QSO using the KX3's built-in RTTY mode

[Wayne Burdick]

The KX3 will have the same built-in RTTY and PSK31 modes as the K3:  
just set the DATA mode for FSK-D or PSK-D, and turn text decode on.  
You can then send CW with either the attached paddle or an external  
paddle and the KX3 will convert it to RTTY or PSK31. The VFO B display  
is alphanumeric, and it can display on-air data signals. No computer  
needed.

I just made the first QSO using the KX3's RTTY mode (FSK-D), running  
12 watts. Lots of activity in the 20-meter RTTY zone today (14080-4090).

I'll be monitoring 14085.00 while working on firmware today in case  
anyone wants a rare 6-land RTTY QSO :)
