Hi Dave, I was about to write about overdriving your Elecraft transceiver via the computer sound card output and what that can do to the ALC readout (for me on my kx3: cause the ALC meter to display nothing), but it sounds like you are already aware of this fact and have tried to adjust so that you achieve 4-5 bars.
Not sure what OS you are running, but it doesn't matter really I guess. Do you know if any of the sounds the OS makes are directed through the same sound card as you send your JT65 transmissions? A long shot to be sure as I think you are able to recreate this situation whenever and you have some regularity to the issue you are seeing. Have you tried to hook-up a small speaker to the sound card output and listen to what is transmitted to see if the tones are a constant volume or do you hear drop-outs interspersed throughout the transmit period? regards, Brian VE3IBW ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
