Sounds like you might have run into the volume control problem there are 2 volume controls for your sound card, in and out. Windows calls them recording and playback. To access both , click on "properties" while in the volume control mode under windows, and then you can set both th

I have been using Multipsk for a while now and recently was using it on a new computer and have found that whenever I switch from one mode to another mode, or go from tx to rx, the sound card changes the slider to the maximum on both the Line In and the Wave output. This of course overdrives t

Where is your audio input going in to the rig? Do you have the rig set for VOX? I used the same Lil Rascal intgerface when first started with digital modes via sound cards, and had no problem at all with it. Danny - Original Message - From: "kg4bir59" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sund

Thanks for the info Ron. I am surprised there wasn't a noticeable difference when using WWV also - but I'm not really surprised about the soundcard checker's results. 12000 always seemed to work good for me. Only way I know of to faithfully check the output would be with a well-calibrated freq co

Kevin, Using WWV tick as the standard I get the same correction which is 40 ppm for either the 11025 or 12000, however, when using the soundcard checker based on the PC's time clock I get a change between 11025 and 12000. The change is from 15 PPM "IN" at 11025 to 4PPM "IN" at 12000 and the b

I would be VERY curious how the numbers come out if you set the sample rate to 12000 instead of 11025. Not sure it will be better, worse or any any more accurate. As far as accuracy of calibration goes. I would trust WWV. I understand that the sound checker program is based on an internal PC clock
