The K3 uses continuous-phase switching between the IF (and AF monitor) tones, but no shaping, in FSK. The Tx signal passes through the 2.7 (or 2.8) kHz IF filter, of course. During AFSK operation, the audio passes through some AF filtering as well as IF filtering. The K3 also has an AFSK Tx Filter that can optionally be switched in (CONFIG:AFSK TX FIL ON|OFF, default is OFF) which provides a much narrower AF filter centered on the RTTY tones (using the FSK PITCH control). If you choose to use this filter, be sure your software is set up in a fixed pitch mode, and not "click the waterfall" or "AFC ON" where your Tx tones could be anywhere in the wider audio passband as defined by the waterfall display. 73, Lyle KK7P ______________________________________________________________ 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
