[Elecraft] K3 rtty decode vs: computer decode

[Ray Sills]

I have to agree with Barry.  For a modest amount of code space (Flash  
RAM), they added a very useful capability for the casual or field  
operator.  I once worked a DX RTTY station via FSK-D mode with paddle  
"keyboard".   I could not have done that QSO any other way at that  
time.  The QSO was made more exciting by being on 40 meters, running 3  
watts into an indoor mag loop antenna.  :)
