Glad to hear everything worked out. Your problem was probably the ground loop all along. Audio devices i.e. sound cards are very susceptible to ground loop problems. A simple and inexpensive fix is to purchase a Ground Isolator and some adapters from Radio Shack. You install it between the Mic and Mic Input. It's a sure cure for most ground loops. The total cost for the isolator and adapters is less than $20. part number is 270-054

Initially my audio reports were terrible. Admittedly, I was not using a classy mic but even so I was expecting better. I spent some time on the air and on the phone with W2IHY and after tweaking some of the settings in the Delta44 mixer panel I was able to get the correct audio bandwidth - it appeared to be inexplicably constrained until we checked mute on the non-mic items - still not sure why this made a difference, but it did (Eric - any comments welcome here). However, I was left with a low freq component that was present with the mic plugged in whether speaking or not. Julius guessed this was a ground loop. Today I disassembled everything and added a ground to the computer chassis and voila - problem solved. Just made a few QSOs on 17m and got nice audio reports and even heard a recording of myself to prove it! Many thanks to Julius, W2IHY for working with me on this. Great radio, great support. 73, Pete, N3EVL _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://mail.flex-radio.biz/pipermail/flexradio_flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com
