[Elecraft] Problem with N1MM+ and My K3 in ARRL RTTY Test

[Richard Ferch]

In the N1MM+ Configurer, under the Mode Control tab, under the right side
"Mode sent to radio", beside RTTY you should select RTTY, in order to put
the K3 into FSK D when clicking on an RTTY spot. For those who prefer to
use AFSK A, the correct selection is AFSK. For PSK and other sound card
modes using DATA A on the K3, you should select PSK in the boxes beside PSK.

Also, there is a check box in the Configurer under Mode Control called
"Always use packet spot mode". This check box is mainly there for people
who use N1MM+ outside of contests, or perhaps in some multi-mode contests.
It should not be checked in single-mode contests, nor in multi-mode
contests if you have not first set up the band plan limits in the Bandmap
window to be appropriate for the particular contest. The appropriate
sub-band limits change depending on the contest mode, and they are also
different between domestic vs. DX contests. You can limit the problems this
setting can cause to a certain extent by ensuring that the Mode Category in
the Contest Setup dialog is set correctly (e.g. do not use a multi-mode
category for a single-mode contest).
