[Elecraft] [K3] RTTY Questions

[Wes]

Are you using an external RTTY program, e.g. MMTTY?  If not and you're using the 
internal CW to RTTY feature, I can't help you.  Otherwise I'm assuming audio 
input via Line In.  Baud rate is set in the program.

Make sure the audio drive, set by 1) soundcard level and 2) "Mic" gain, drive 
the ALC indicator to four bars.  Less and the power control loop will try to 
adjust, but it does this slowly. Otherwise it could be a blown final, in either 
of the PAs (regrettably too common) or a mistuned BPF.  I don't know how common 
this is but it happened to mine.
