Couldn't agree more. I think this stuff is made integral, even if barely
usable in any other than a "lets see if this really works" mode, to get the

I am not saying they will change, I am saying they were designed to

NOW I am totally confused!!! Are you telling me that the connector pins on the K3 for FSK keying and
data will change when`the firmware changes? Or are you saying that those pins are mode specific, and
I will have to disconnect my FSK cables to operate CW or phone?

hi Don - I'm confused. Open collector FSK inputs have been around for at least 20 years, probably
longer. Radios have already been slaves to that particular way. What I'm saying is "let's make it
easier to get on FSK using a standard DB9 cable, and not require the user to build a special cable.
Hi Jeff:
IF you do, how will you then tell the radio specific serial cable pin
to look at for CW keying/RTTY keying/PTT/etc?
If you place them, as Rick and others do, then you can create
mode-specific interfaces for your software.
IF you put them inside the rig, then THAT particular pin wil
Hello Jeff!
...I'm just saying this was an
opportunity to put the level shift in the radio, and I wonder why it
wasn't, and why I couldn't/shouldn't modify my own K3? thanks!
One of the modes that the K3 will use that very same data input pin for
is "direct PSK" in the same sense that it mig

As a counter to Jeff's perspective, I find that similar things which are
integrated inside the radio will slave that radio to one particular way
of providing that function. Times change, desires change, but that
radio is locked into the past because of the 'way things were done back
then'.

Yes, the current firmware decodes CW, RTTY and PSK in the VFO-B display
area. However, it is just the first pass implementation and more tweaking
and functionality is on the way. This is a great feature (coupl
Yes, the K3 can decode RTTY and display it on its own LCD, but I
didn't use that feature during the contest.
