Matt,
Here are the firmware rev's: MCU 3.41, FPF 1.04, DSP 2.37. Several additional
pieces of information I have found. In addition to the menu situation as
mentioned, when changing modes the mode will not change from CW. Remember you
need to go through CW to get from DATA to USB/LSB or vice versa. The problem
only occurs when MMTTY is open and the radio is set to FSK D. The situations
do NOT occur with Radio Command port set to None (no radio command) nor in
other data modes. I have tried MMVARI and Hamscope and it doesn't happen with
them but they don't do FSK RTTY. I have a straight through cable from COM 1 on
my PC to the RS-232 on the K3 for radio command. For FSK RTTY I have a home
brew cable with level converters from COM 4 on the PC to the ACC port on the
radio. FSK=TXD DB9-3 (PC) to DB15-1, PTT=DB9-7(PC) to DB15-4. Ground =DB9-1
to DB15-5/12. There are two level converters. One each for FSK and PTT and
they are in the back shell of the DB9 connector. Each lev
el converter is a 1k ohm resister from the respective DB9 pin to the base of a
2N3904 transistor. The collectors go to their respective pin on the DB15.
Both emitters are tied to the ground pins on each connector.
FSK RTTY works fine with MMTTY using FSK D on the radio. It's just that the
radio gets hung up in the two area mentioned above when radio command is on.
I'll try to do some experimenting with radio command to see if there is
something that can be changed that will eliminate the situations.
Hope the additional information is helpful to anyone trying to duplicate the
situation.
Have a good day and 73.
Jim, W0EM

Hi Jim,
What firmware rev(s) are you using? This doesn't happen with a recent
field test firmware on the K3 here. No one can confirm your result
without a rev # for the firmware. It may be revision-dependent and
probably was eliminated some time ago.
