[Elecraft] KX3 and RTTY problem.

[Don Wilhelm]

Jerry,

That sounds like more an N1MM problem than a KX3 problem.  I would 
suggest seeking help on the N1MM support group if you have not received 
any responses from this group.

There are subtle differences between the K3 and KX3 and this may be one 
of them.  The N1MM software needs to take that into account.

BTW, your RTTY messages will switch to receive only after a 4 second 
'diddle' time unless the KX3 (K3 too) receives the "IM" command.  It is 
sent in ASCII as the "|" character.  At least that is what is used in 
K3/KX3 messages.  I have no idea if it behaves the same way from N1MM 
macros, but give it a try.  For CW, that character is ignored, but it 
stops transmission immediately in digital modes.  If you are using the 
CW paddles to enter ?CW to be translated to RTTY and other digital modes 
enter it as "IM" with no space (like prosigns).
That means that the same K3/KX3 messages can be used for both CW and 
digital modes.

I use those messages from the K3 natively (M1 thru M8 [both tap and 
hold] messages) for our Field Day setup but we do not use a logger like 
N1MM for our operation.
