[Elecraft] Sending AFSK RTTY

[Don Wilhelm]

Peter,

I don't know why WinWarbler wants to change the mode on the K3/K3S. 
Take that issue up with the WinWarbler folks.  Tell them that the K3 has 
a distinct data submode for Audio FSK - it is AFSK A and it uses the 
lower sideband by default.  Use it if you can, just like you are now 
using DATA A for WSJT-X.

If WW forces you to use LSB instead, you will have to set compression to 
zerro, and set RX EQ and TX EQ to a flat response or your RTTY signal 
will not likely be readable.  Then when going back to voice operation 
you will have to set them back, which is a pain unless you write some 
macros to make the changes.

Other than that, the advice you have been given is good.

You may be better off giving up on WinWarbler if they cannot set it up 
properly for the K3.  MMTTY is not difficult to configure and use - 
actually easier than Fldigi.

I would like to have something similar using AFSK and USB connectivity—specifically the twin-peak brick-wall filtering. Right now, just switching in to RTTY mode in WinWarbler just puts the radio into LSB mode and that’s it.

I’ve had maybe 3 hours of sleep per night for the last 3 nights playing with this radio, N1MM, and DX Lab Suite, and I’m almost no further ahead than I was 3 nights ago. All I have is CW via WinWarbler and full manual control. CW sending and /RTTY tone just won’t work for me so far. Everybody was saying last year that it isn’t that hard to do….yet here we are!
