[Elecraft] K3 rtty decode vs: computer decode

[Brian Hunt]

I've found the K3 decode is adequate for casual contacts like W1AW/x when I find them. Tuning is a bit touchy and the incoming signal needs to be strong. Good for a quickie, though. I use the paddle for xmit.

> I have played just a bit with the rtty via cw function of the K3 and am curious if my casual observations match those of others. It appears that the K3 onboard decoder takes a back seat in rtty decode ability to a radio/computer/mtty combination. Agree/disagree/thoughts?
