Hello out there, Yesterday a friend asked me to give him a contact on 30-meter RTTY. I had never been on 30-meter RTTY before, but I agreed to give it a try. But then I found that my K3 had no RTTY modulation_ just a carrier on 30-meters. The T-R switching worked fine.
Let me explain that I have been using my K3 without a hitch in RTTY mode for the past two years on the 20, 15, and 12 meter bands, and it continues to work fine on those bands. My K3 is # 384 running FW 3.97/2.58. I simply have two stereo audio cables connecting the speaker and mike jacks on my notebook computer to the K3's line in and out jacks. T-R switching is via the K3's RS232 jack and my Keyspan USB-Serial adapter. My 30-meter antenna is resonant, with 1.2-1 VSWR across the entire band. RTTY software is MMTTY. The other odd thing that I observed was that my friend's signal was reversed on 30-meters. That is, I couldn't decode him without invoking the reverse button in MMTTY. I later had a QSO with him on 20-meter RTTY, and he was not reversed on that band. Any ideas? Many thanks and 73, John, W2GW ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
