[Elecraft] K3 AFSK RTTY problem

[Michael Eberle]

Yes, what you describes sounds like what happened to me when I switched 
to 80 meters.  I did have to click the 'reverse' button on Fldigi to 
receive properly.  Then when I tried to work stations, I got a lot of 
'AGN.'  I noticed the bargraph displays on the W2 watt meter kept 
flashing.  I finally checked the DATA MD button and it was on 'AFSK A' 
instead of 'DATA A.'  After changing it back to 'DATA A' and unchecking 
the 'reverse' button in Fldigi, I had no more problems.
