Re: [Elecraft] First QSO using the KX3's built-in RTTY mode

2012-01-15 Thread Randy Foltz 
Hello, Wayne.

If you were sending the proper serial number, your first KX3 built-in RTTY 
mode contact was with me.  The serial number you sent was 001.  I was 
running a K3 at 100 w using FSK-D also.  I sort of thought the call looked 
familiar.  It was a good contest.

 The KX3 will have the same built-in RTTY and PSK31 modes as the K3:
 just set the DATA mode for FSK-D or PSK-D, and turn text decode on.
 You can then send CW with either the attached paddle or an external
 paddle and the KX3 will convert it to RTTY or PSK31. The VFO B display
 is alphanumeric, and it can display on-air data signals. No computer
 needed.

 I just made the first QSO using the KX3's RTTY mode (FSK-D), running
 12 watts. Lots of activity in the 20-meter RTTY zone today (14080-4090).

 I'll be monitoring 14085.00 while working on firmware today in case
 anyone wants a rare 6-land RTTY QSO :)

I do indeed have you logged as my first QSO, Randy. Thanks.

Were you using a keyer paddle (CW-to-DATA)?
