Hi Ed: I love RTTY contesting as well and a K3 is certainly in my future. I'm just now dipping my toes into SO2R. One question - are you able to go the full 100 watts in contests on RTTY ? If so, do you provide further cooling - more fans, liquid cooling blocks on the finals !? :) Or do you trickle feed an amplifier to say, 150 watts ?

In NAQP RTTY, I used a K3 and a ProIII. The K3 was connected directly to the PC soundcard input whereas the ProIII had an audio isolation transformer in line as well as a JPS NIR-12 audio DSP. The K3 performed at least as well, if not better than the ProIII. Other field testers, e.g., N6XI, use AFSK and therefore are connecting their K3 to the soundcard input and output will great results. The K3 is designed for direct connection to soundcards with its LINE IN and LINE OUT jacks on the back panel. Each is fed from an audio isolation transformer inside the K3. The K3 is the best equipped radio for DATA modes and direct connection to PC soundcards. 73, Ed - W0YK _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
