Using Elecraft KX3/K3 KY Codes to Allow N1MM & RTTY-FSK
A Step-by-step Guide (assuming no previous experience)
Anthony Luscre- K8ZT
Introduction
This guide has been written assuming you have had little or no experience with using KX3 USB Interface or N1MM operations. For those with previous knowledge fill free to skip ahead to needed configuration and sample Macros. There maybe other settings that work, but these worked for me.This setup should also work with K3 or K3S
Why?
- I wanted to use the KX3’s excellent FSK (not AFSK) and KX3’s RTTY to Text Decoding
- I did not want to use a Signalink or other digi interface or use my computer’s sound card
- I was only interested in using RTTY for casual operation in a contest that required serial numbers and wanted to be able easily send reply with incrementing serial numbers
- A bonus is ability to also use this setup for SSB or CW (If you are interested in non-macro driven, direct keying CW see appendix)
