Thanks to the several responders to my posting. According to Don Wilhelm, even in Data A mode, the TX EQ stays in line for any SSB mode. Yikes. My TX EQ settings are idealized for my voice via my microphone, and for SSB, not data. I just assumed that since this 'Data A' mode drops out the

You could use the following macro till this gets sorted in the firmware: AI0;K31;MN009;SWT53;MN255;K30; A similar macro could replace your TX SSB equaliser settings at the touch of a button. There are more details on a previous posting for RX Equaliser on this forum. Doug -- View this

What harm would be done by allowing DTF in DATA A? DTF is a special function for RTTY, and the K3 needs to know that thi sis a RTTY application to set it up, enable the decoder, etc. The K3 needs to know the tone pair in use. DATA A is a general purpose mode that is unaware of the type or

Ted The DTF is only available in DATA AFSK mode. I use that mode both for PSK, Olivia and RTTY. The only practical difference I can see between DATA A and DATA AFSK is that in DATA AFSK you can use either the normal filter or the DTF. Since going from one K3 data mode to the other flips

I've been working with the K3 on data modes. I hope I have this correct. To move between RTTY and PSK31...you have to change (for example) between AFSK A and DATA A. (Using AFSK...would be different for FSK) I guess with the newest firmware, you could make a memory for each band and for
