Mineo, JE9PEL - released in Mike DK3WN Satblog - voice files received from past tests ARRISat-1. In the files we can hear the voice of Wesley in Castilian, KP4WES - boy from Puerto Rico. He's only 12 years, and is always active on AO-51 and VO-52. Very cool.

I think I figured this out. Everything is wired correctly (see below). The issue is that the recorder has an extremely wide dynamic range, handling line level to mic input levels. It appears that the AGC looks at both channels, and adjusts both based on the loudest --- so if I have a large audio
