[Elecraft] K3S - APF/RTTY question

[ae4pb at carolinaheli.com]

I think I got it working. I changed the K3S Settings to 915 - 170 and
HRD/DM780 started decoding correctly. I was able to work N3P successfully
..TYTYTYTY... 
What threw me off was that the K3S was decoding correctly anytime I had the
tuning close but I wasn't getting anything (not even garbage) on the
computer. I'm about ready to wipe Windows 10 and go back to win 7. Actually
with the way I operate I could almost ONLY use the laptop for logging and do
the rest by ear or at the K3!

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,
