[Elecraft] [K3] Trouble TX on RTTY

[Dick Dievendorff]

The K3's internal encoder works in data modes FSK-D and PSK-D only.  See K3
Utility Help, Terminal page, Data mode buttons:

<snip>
Receive-only Text Decode is available in AFSK-A, but the KY command used for
transmit requires CW, FSK-D or PSK-D. If no characters are sent, or sending
seems to "stutter", it may be because your K3 is in an inappropriate Mode or
Data sub-mode, or Text Decode is not functioning. See the Elecraft K3
Owner's Manual sections on Data Modes and "Advanced Operating Procedures:
Text Decode and Display" for details.

Gentlemen,
     I am having problems transmitting on RTTY using the built in facilities
of the K3 with the K3 Utility program and am using AFSK.    Decoding works
perfectly with the terminal program but the transmit messages when keyed do
not result in any action by my K3.    I have done this operation previously
but now something is wrong.

     The PC is only used for the K3 Utility and for this operation the
terminal facility of the Utility program is being utilized.

     I have tried tx with two K3s and two PCs but no joy.    Some basic
setting is wrong and I am flummoxed can someone point me to a solution.   

              Humbly yours Doug EI2CN
