[Elecraft] MMTTY DATA-A or FSK

[david Moes]

Thanks Don   so it seems I was doing the right thing   I did start with 
MMVARI then went to MMTTY  both AFSK A   I misspoke in the original post 
saying DATA-A but meant AFSK-A   so it seems I am on the right track  I 
find tuning with the VFO and watching the markers on the P3  the 
easiest    I dont like tuning with the mouse.
