[Elecraft] RTTY with a K3/0

[Mitch Wolfson DJØQN]

It is actually very easy to use RemoteRig and the K3 with RTTY.

Assuming you have the cable already that goes between the radio RRC and 
K3's ACC port to turn on the K3, then this cable also has the wires 
connected to use FSK. Then all you need to do is the following:

To *receive *RTTY (or any other digital mode), you need to pull the 
audio off the control RRC and put it through a sound card (or sound card 
interface) to decode things. Just use a Y-cable or similar, since an 
audio cable is already going between the RRC and the K3/0.

To *send *RTTY, you can use one of two methods:
- EITHER do so by using a sound card (interface) through the RRC's MIC 
jack, which would be AFSK (also use this method for other digital modes)
- OR after connecting a USB cable between the RRC and PC, use native FSK 
mode by switching the serial COM3 mode to RTTY and using that virtual 
COM port with your program (look at the Windows Device Manager).

He wants to start doing RTTY with MMTTY. I know we'll use FSK but I don't know what cables are needed for me and for him and where they will plug in. I'm disabled and he's too shakey to make the cables.
