Re: [Elecraft] K3 FSK RTTY Problems

2015-11-09 Thread Gordon LaPoint
Ralph, I normally use MMTTY, with DXLabs. That is not the problem, the Mark output of the radio is at ~200hz, NOT 2Khz as normal, and can not tell if the space is there or not, due to the super low frequency offset from the dial frequency. I'm setup for SO2V operation with Writelog,

[Elecraft] K3 FSK RTTY Problems

2015-11-09 Thread Gordon LaPoint
Hi All, This weekend my K3 stopped working with FSK. AFSK works just fine. I have ran many RTTY contests with the K3 in FSK mode, using various software drivers. The problem is I get a single tone, but at the wrong frequency, Its about 200hz, not 2125Hz. I checked the pitch setting,

If you are using MMTTY make sure that you have the "EXTFSK" patch set up in both the TX setup window and the Misc window. I get tripped up on this every once in a while. If these settings are correct you probably have a physical problem with the FSK keying lead between the interface and the

Gordon, It's not clear what you mean. The mark output from the radio is at RF, not at either 2 kHz or 200 Hz. Do you mean the audio monitor tone you hear from the K3, or are you monitoring in some other way? In FSK D (and also in AFSK A), the K3's dial displays the actual Mark frequency as

Rich, Sorry, I am going by the monitor tone. I need to check the actual rf on another radio and see if the Mark is really at 200hz offset or at 2.1Khz like it should be ( I use high tones from mmtty or 2tone) the AFSK A is working normal. I did not hear any shift using FSK D. I

Rich, and others on the list, Thanks for all of the suggestions. I got the system working. The problem was the pitch setting. While in FSK D If you hold the Pitch button the K3 shows the current pitch, (2125-170) is what was showing. I changed it to low tones (915-170) and back to

Similar to others I had major problems with FSK-D RTTY with the latest beta firmware this weekend on my K3 #1210. I often found that my K3 didn't appear to recognize on the first attempt on a band that the KPA500 was even present at all and instead put out the full 100W that I normally run when

Jim, I have a newer field-test release, 4.83, that fixes the primary problem of power-setting in RTTY mode (FSK-D). While I still have little more work to do to get power to settle quickly, 9 out of 10 ops testing 4.83 said it was working well enough for their needs. (Definitely fixes the
