With WSJT, you may need to reset your audio input and output device(s) in WSJT because they can take on different device #'s if you reboot the computer or unplug USB connection on the signallink and plug it in again. Not sure if that's your issue. I check each time I start up WSJT -Origi

Mike You might take a look at MixW , AWGPE or Packet Engine Pro for decoding packet. These are software modems so you won't need a TNC. If you are decoding 9600 Baud packets, make sure you get your audio output from pin 4 of the 910H main or sub band data sockets, use pin 5 for 1200 baud. Progr
