[Elecraft] MMTTY Scope & K3s

Something I've noticed that I like very much is the quality of the 
video you see in the MMTTY scope when using the internal card in the 
K3s. 

When I was using a rather decent E-MU 0404 USB sound card for my RTTY 
needs with the K3, the XY scope showed the two opposing ovals as 
white bands that were somewhat thick and "sponge-like" in appearance. 
With the K3s, using the signal generated within the K3, the bands now 
are very tight, very clearly defined and quite thin. All the 
artefacts surrounding the ovals are much better defined, there 
appears to be far less of them and they look like pin points rather 
than tiny puff balls.

It just shows how much better quality the signal is from what the K3s 
generates than the USB soundcard. The Scope software hasn't changed; 
same MMTTY but what an immediately observable difference. And yes, 
decoding is much better too.

Kudos to another well done, by the engineers at Elecraft.
