Actually I know of several CW contesters who have done just that to get their feet wet in a RTTY contest. I'd be surprised if it was something the K3 was doing. In AFSK the K3 just sends the audio as

Yup. I run a main window with the default (and all the AFC stuff off) and a clone window with this filter. Works fab. Really needed it this weekend with the Saturday night conditions. - jeff wk6i --
