Can someone tell me what K3(TX) and cM(RX) works for RTTY.

Thanks and 73, John N1JM

For transmission, the Elecraft K3 internal routines are used. The K3 must be configured as TRX, because the CAT interface is used.
For RTTY demodulation, cocoaModem will be used.

Mostly I use this combination as you can see here: http://dl2rum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=166

Thanks. Nice to be able to do FSK with the K3.

I noticed on the demo mov that the F key labels show above the RTTY window. I don't see them anywhere on my version (latest and latest cocoa modem).

Sorry, I spoke too soon. "Show macro buttons".

As of yet I do not see a way of going into a "terminal mode" for rtty(K3 tx cM rx) to have a casual quick exchange during a contest.

Not sure what do you mean. You can assign a F-key for quick exchange.

So you are saying that the only way to transmit in Rumped is through an F Key macro?

Quite often just before, during or after the contest I might have a short qso with someone without having to go to a different rtty program. You can do this in N1MM and Writelog just using the keyboard.

There is a keyboard mode as well. :D
Menu-->Transceiver-->Keyboard Mode or just Command K. Works similar for CW, RTTY and PSK. ( Don't know, why in the TRX Menu :?:)
Once in keyboard mode you can start typing. Press Command T to start transmission, press command R to switch to RX when all text is sent or press Escape to abort.
