[Elecraft] K3 w/KIO3B has confusing RTTY transmit behavior

[Joe N9OK]

Not getting emails so my replies are not inline. Sorry...

Bob, with your exact settings I get the same problematic operation
originally mentioned in this thread. I'm starting to wonder if there
might be a defect in my K3?

"In MMTTY, check on the drop down menu under OPTIONS, then at the bottom
of the list,  select SETUP menu, then TX pane.   Be sure the Digital
Output is about mid scale.   Also, make sure the computer SPKR level is
about 30 to 50% .

On the K3:   From the MENU the MIC SEL should show LINE IN.  The DATA MD
should be set for AFSK A and 45 BPS.  The PITCH  value should be 2125 -
170.    The setting for LINE gain {use the MIC control} should be about 30.

This works for my configuration when running MMTTY.

Bob, K4TAX"
