Jer,

Which DATA sub-mode were you in?  For RTTY, you would normally be in 
AFSK A and then you could activate the dual tone filter.  I believe most 
use MMTTY for RTTY, but HRD/DM780, Fldigi and other waterfall oriented 
software can work as well.
In AFSK A (or FSK D) the K3 is in LSB (normal for RTTY) unless you 
activate REV, and the K3 dial frequency is the mark frequency.  Make 
certain that the mark frequency and rate in the K3 menu agree with your 
software application settings.

Other soundcard data modes normally use DATA A where USB is the normal 
sideband.

73,
