[Elecraft] AFSK-A with K3s

[Gary Smith]

Yes, my problem was not when sending RTTY 
with a paddle, it was when using MMTTY and 
I was trying to send FSK. All I could hear 
was one tone, not the two tones of mark 
space. I thought it was nice not to hear 
the two tones when listening. I did not 
realize I could not properly key the K3s 
without an additional hardware. 

Now I have the K3s set to use AFSK A so 
that I don't need to have additional 
hardware/connections and no longer use the 
paddles to send, only MMTTY. 

When I use MMTTY I have to have  the 
PTT-KEY set to OFF-OFF. When I switch to 
N1MM I have to have it set to DTR-RTS. I 
have problems of locked down transmission 
if I don't and switch to CW from the RTTY 
setting. As a result, I can't have both 
MMTTY and N1MM running at the same time.

I'm guessing this may have to do with a 
RTS setting in the software but haven't 
had time to work it out.

73,
