Yes, that is the answer I was wondering about. I have had other K3 owners
pretty much tell me the same thing, but thought to ask the group. As Iain
suggested, I could compare both decoders without the SVGA card, and probably
will (sorry, Iain, I misunderstood your reply). But, I am leaning towards
using the external TTL box.

Jim,
I have the SVGA card in my P3 and I am very active in digital modes.
My input is if you are buying the SVGA card just for digital modes like
FSK/D etc then don’t buy it.
Any software package like MMTTY is better than using the K3, P3/SVGA.
I really like having the SVGA and the large display and I have tried using
it for digital modes but always go back to computer and digital software.
Its lot easier to use, better copy, decrypts, lots more features, etc.
SVGA card is great for lots of other reasons though. 73
Hope this helps.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 FSK/D vs MMTTY
I am trying to decide if I should invest in an SVGA card for my P3. I know
about all the nice features that the SVGA card will give me, but I have
been told by a top contester that the K3 decoder is not as good as MMTTY.
I like on occasion to do FSK/D, and have been using the built in function
of the K3 with fair success. With my old, displaced Pro 3, I used
MMTTY/EXTFSK and a Green Heron Radio Boss with very good results. I still
have the Radio Boss, and see that it would be easy to implement with my
K3. So, the only question I have is does anyone have an unbiased opinion
on which offers better results in the decode of FSK/D?
Certainly, I can do the Radio Boss option for less than $50, since I have
the unit. The SVGA would run me around $300 (I would need another
monitor). I am not a heavy user of RTTY or PSK, but on occasion use those
modes. I am leaning to the less expensive Radio Boss option, or just
continue with the K3/terminal program readout.
So, again which is a better RTTY decoder: MMTTY or the built in K3
decoder? Or, are the pretty much the same?
Thanks & 73 ....
