Data Terminal Setup

Data terminal mode adds three windows at the

bottom of the SVGA monitor: one for received

data, one for transmitted data and a status bar as

shown below. These windows occupy part of the

area used by the waterfall display. The height of

the status bar is fixed. The sizes of the receive and

transmit data windows, and the sizes of the fonts

used for them, are variable using the setup menu as

described below.

SVGA Display with Data Terminal Mode Enabled.

Decoding Text

The decoding of signals takes place in the K3. See

your K3 Owner’s manual for details about how to

configure the K3 to decode text in CW and each of

the data modes.

Adjusting the Receive and Transmit Windows
and Font Sizes

The area occupied by the receive and transmit data

windows depends upon the font size and monitor

resolution used. Since the data windows occupy

part of the space normally available to the waterfall

display, you may need to increase the size of the

waterfall display to provide room for them.

If the transmit data window size is set to zero, data

transmission is disabled, the transmit data window

will disappear and the keyboard becomes inactive.
