Thanks Rick.  I was unaware of the keying of the k3 via the acc pin. 
I'm using mmtty with a microham and all of a sudden I was only getting a couple 
of characters at a time.  Didn't want to mention the microham at this point.  
But I bet there's a good chance the acc cable is loose!  I just installed it 
all yesterday and did lots of connections. 
Thanks

You can FSkey the K3 via the ACC jack pin 1. The keying is simply on/off and 
the K3 generates the shift. I don't know what you mean by "use the k3 without 
software." You still need software to generate the FSK on/off keying signal. 
You tell your RTTY software (MMTTY or a logger program, for examples) to use 
FSK instead of AFSK. Usually they key the rig through a COM port which you must 
select and connect to ACC Pin 1 through a level converter. Details in the 
manuals.
