[Elecraft] K3 need help with FSK-D

[Doug Turnbull]

Eric,
    Make sure you are using 45 bps press and hold for 2 seconds the AFX(DATA
MD) button and adjust VFO A knob.   Mark Space is set to 2125 - 170 using
SPOT Button held in for a few seconds.   Threshold is not critical mine is
set to 3 and ON by holding in the Text Decode button for a few seconds.
Back off on the RF gain to get rid of the extraneous noise characters and
fine tune at 1 Hz or 10 Hz maximum.   You should see the signal start to
decode.   I very much like to use the Elecraft Utility Monitor with stored
messages and a good big screen to display plenty of data.   

     I just worked them on 14.089.92.   Good luck.

             73 Doug EI2CN

Dear Gang:

I am trying to chase down a last TX5K contact on RTTY and cannot get FSK-D
mode to work on my K3.  I followed the steps in the manual, and have been
trying various THR levels in DECODE, but all I get are random letters even
with what looks like a strong signal ( peaking 3 bars on each side).  I must
be missing something simple--any ideas?

Thanks,

Eric WD6DBM
