Don, Using VAC, you use the VAC TX Gain to regulate your output, if you are using the conventional method of physical cables to and from the computer sound card, use the TX gain. (mic gain) as you would with any regular radio.
In VAC I used the default values. I can send you my values if you would like. 73, Dudley WA5QPZ Don Sachnoff wrote: > Dudley > > As I mentioned to Tim, I thought there was a KB that said you should > run the TX Gain up until you reached -1db or 0db of mic gain which is > what I was doing and it worked well with v1.12.1 and earlier releases > - I did send Eric a copy of the mdb back on 8/22 when I experienced > this problem previously.
