[Elecraft] k3 and RTTY hookup question

[Richard Ferch]

You should let N1MM Logger do rig control. Assuming you have a serial 
cable between COM1 and your K3's RS232 jack, set the "Radio command" 
port in MMTTY to NONE and configure N1MM Logger to use COM1 to control 
your K3. That way the frequencies will be tracked in the N1MM Logger 
contest log.

If you are using AFSK, you should also let N1MM Logger control TX/RX 
switching (PTT). That is, you should set MMTTY's FSK/PTT port to NONE 
and configure a PTT method within the N1MM Logger Configurer. See the 
N1MM Logger documentation for details.

If you want to use FSK from MMTTY, you must use separate COM ports for 
radio control and FSK keying. The only way MMTTY can key FSK is using a 
separate port connected to the K3's ACC connector through a keying circuit.
