I tried a number of these cheap USB key sound devices designed for VoIP and while they do work, their receive audio from these things are terrible. The devices based on the AC97 chip are also crap,

Wonder if the output from sound card is over driven (distortion !); then, wouldn't the input (mic gain) to the transmitter be distortion as well regardless of where the RF power out setting is

This method is what my rig's Operating Manual specifies for SSB operation, including setting the output power level. Clearly, if someone else's rig has a different SSB operating procedure, then that

Hi- I'll throw another skunk in the pot- Just what is a good sound card these days? And what makes it so . Best one I eever had was a 16 bit,course can't use it ,as they don't use that slot any more.

Sorry Mike, but you are out to lunch on this one. Setting the power level to maximum then adjusting the audio drive for the proper power level/ALC level is the proper way to adjust a PSK

Well, people should do what works best for them. However, as Mike K6MKF said, setting the output power by adjusting the audio input probably isn't the best way to do it, as has already been pointed

Heresy I say !! to the gallows with Mike..  Seriously, Mike, I totally agree and have been doing it that way since I started psk 3.5 yrs ago. I use a TS-2000 and have the meter show ALC. I set the RF

Not quite sure I understand this process completely.   If  my output power is set to max and I adjust the mic control so I have 50 watts output with no ALC action, it would appear that all is

PSK tones are transmitted in SSB mode. PSK31 signals are SSB signals modulated by a very narrow, phase-shifting audio signal. SSB phone signals are wider voice signals modulated by your

These are now supported by the endorsement checker. thanks, --david kj4izw

Would you care to elaborate on that statement? Mike kc9doa

Ted - Look at the email archives. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/070/message/31105 Charlie K8IJ announced that he was going to be busy with work for a few weeks, so I'm betting that will delay web

did I see something here that there is a new WABOL for 2013 or did I imagine this?   Don't see anything on the website ?   ??  Ted, K7TRK #1028

Now I am chuckling. Just had QSO with fellow in CO. I was running 4W. Comment was nice clean signal but strongest on the waterfall, blacking out all the other signals. Oh well think I will just stick

If it works; then it's probably right.

Barry, The method you describe is the one I was told to use when I was a 'newbie'. I was talking to a fellow in CA. on PSK31, and he sent me instructions on how to set my kevels. Max Power out:
