... and not a single actual conversation with another human being.
Sad.

This works very well. K4CIA who never operated RTTY before a few
years ago uses only the K3 display and built-in memories to call and
work DX. He has now worked over 300 RTTY countries with the K3 only
one finger method. No computer, sound card or RTTY program used. KISS.

For DXpeditions and most contests, using the K3/K3S memories will
send the

All you
need is two memories programmed, one with your call sign and the
other with
your exchange.

I know this is "old hat" now, especially for serious RTTY buffs
(which I am
not!), but every time I work one of these DXpeditions on RTTY, just
using
the K3 and CW input, I get a big kick out of it. I just did that on 40
meters with TU7C in the Ivory Coast. I crank out CW at about 25-30
WPM and
the K3 does the rest! Cool! I could do this with my KX3 or KX2 if my
antennas were better!
That's about the only time I venture into the RTTY segment, and I would
generally rather just rag chew on CW, but snagging another DXpedition
band
slot this way is fun. It sure beats the heck out of the way I had to
do it
in the Army eons ago, with those model 21's, or whatever the
nomenclature
was--I've forgotten now. That was in an AN/GRC-26 van, with a
BC-610, an
R390, and a rack panel filled with other stuff. It sure got hot inside
those vans!!!! With the K3, I can do it all on a TV tray!
