Kevin,
I think going to the FLDIGI reflector is your best bet.
It is good to know it is a FLDIGI issue and not a hardware issue.
Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
Good luck finding the fix and please let us know here on the Elecraft reflector what you find.

Hi Mark... I'm sure you're right that it is something Fldigi is sending but it is not part of the macro. It's the same macro I use with AFSK (and CW). It seems to only happen when the macro contains <RX> which is supposed to put the rig back into receive at the end of the macro. If I send the same macro without <RX> then there are no additional characters sent.

I'll probably head over to the fldigi forum soon and see what's said there.

Kev

The reason your seeing TT N4TT PSE K is because that is what FLDIGI is sending.
You need to look at the setup in FLDIGI.
Is there a message that has TT N4TT PSE K that is chained to the message you created?
Look in the FLDIGI manual or help file your answer may be there.

I seem to be digging a deeper hole so it's time to come to the K3 experts again.

I'm still trying to get FSK (not AFSK) to work. My setup is a K3s, Y-Box, WinKeyer and Fldigi.

I think I have everything set up properly but something very strange is happening. My CQ string is:

<TX>
CQ CQ CQ de <MYCALL> <MYCALL> <MYCALL>
CQ CQ CQ de <MYCALL> <MYCALL> <MYCALL> pse k <RX>

What shows up on Fldigi when sending:

CQ CQ CQ de N4TT N4TT N4TT
CQ CQ CQ de N4TT N4TT N4TT pse k
TT N4TT PSE K

Note that last line. I don't know where it's coming from. And it is showing up because tones are still being generated. The tone stops right after PSE K (caps).

I have another macro:

<TX>
<CALL> de <MYCALL> <MYCALL> kn
<RX>

It sends:
 de N4TT N4TT kn
T KN

The physical setup:

WinKeyer PTT to Y-Box FSK-in (tied to Accy pin1) WinKeyer KEY1 to Y-Box PTT-in (tied to Accy pin 4)

Radio is in DATA FSK-D 45 bps.

I'm not sure what else to try.
