[Elecraft] Help setting up digital

[Lynn W. Taylor, WB6UUT]

The biggest problem is that there are several right answers.

I can't give you a K3S cookbook because I have a KX3, but I can nudge 
you in the right general direction.

If you don't mind using a computer, then ignore the "paddle" methods. 
Same with the internal encoding/decoding and the utility.

Use one of the "sound card" or "modem" programs.

DATA A is basically Upper Sideband.  Use the built-in sound card.

Now, any program that uses a sound card for any digital mode will work.

Personally, I like FLDIGI.  It does RTTY, PSK-31 (which is popular) and 
a whole bunch of other modes.

If you hit your favorite search engine with K3S FLDIGI you'll get a 
number of hits, most of them pointed at the Nabble archive of this list.

It seems that the biggest problem may be picking one path and following 
it, I hope my input helps.
