Hard to enter a short subject that is
complete...
Have a K3s using USB to the computer & the
internal card for digital modes.
I wanted to work a few Q's in the RTTY
contest and have been using WSJT-X for FT8
contacts.
In the K3s WSJTX requires Data A for FT8
and in MMTTY it requires AFSK A (45BPS is
normal).
I went to use MMTTY after using WSJTX and
with an excellent scope copy of the RTTY
signals, gibberish is on the screen. I
tried Reverse; REV in MMTTY and tried ALT
in the K3 and no benefit. I tried so many
things to decode in MMTTY but nothing
worked until some random change in a K3s
setting worked and then perfect copy as
usual.
I later clicked on WSJT to make a Q, the
radio complied and switched to the
settings for WSJT and when I went back to
MMTTY, the copy was again gibberish. I
don't recall what it was I did to set the
K3s back so MMTTY can decode RTTY I did
return it to AFSK A 45 but nothing
decodes.
It was a K3 setting that made the
difference but I have no idea what it was
I chanced on. anyone work out this issue
yet when switching from WSJTX to MMTTY &
the change in settings then required in
the K3s?
Thanks & 73,
