Well I managed to find the thing that was really messing me up overall, but
I'm still having massive RTTY issues.
What had been happening was no AFSK tones for RTTY were getting through, and
no voice files for SSB. The key (as I think you mentioned on the N1MM
reflector) was the MENU

DXLab will then select AFSK A for RTTY operation.
[pjd] I set it to DATA-L, but it still on
with a system that works, day in and day out.

Peter,
I'm not that familiar with Winwarbler, but I do run AFSK when using RTTY.
You could use DATA A on the K3s or AFSK. I prefer to use the AFSK mode as it
appear to work better
s for everything, with only very limited success. Thanks as always.

Help:
I love this idea, but there's one problem, though. I only have one coax line
leading out of the shack. It runs from the Palstar (or it could run from the
KPA-1500) to the input of my antenna switch. I have 5 antennas connected off
that--three Yagis, and the 80m vee off the tower, and a 160 inverted
Good point. Done!
What I have now is both tuners are ONLY in on the SSB portions of 40/80.
Everywhere else the Palstar is electrically bypassed...but I can't remove it
entirely for reasons stated in my previous posts.

I think instead I'll go the route of always leaving it in line, but that
method would certainly work too! Thanks, Paul!

Thanks, Scott!
I'm going to change the way I do things so that ATU is always in, and the
Palstar HF-Auto switches to AUTO mode rather than Manual to keep the match
seen by the KPA below 1.2:1

I've tried it both ways personally, and I guess through 18 years of hardcore
DXing I got used to the DX on VFO-A and the pileup on VFO-B. But the
argument could certainly be made for the opposite way. I'd wager that's how
Dxpeditions operate, transmitting on VFO-B and scanning the pileup on VFO-A.
I have a couple of questions about the KPA1500's internal tuner.
For the most part, I leave the tuner inline. Except for two sub-bands (SSB
on both 40 and 80m) I am well below 2:1, and maybe 2.5:1 at the top end of
160m. The KPA does a good job throughout.
The problems/questions arise when I nee
ouse. This
eliminated common mode current coming into the shack on a second coax.
Check your RX antenna cable, which does not go through the RCS-12.
