Yes, you guest it, right during the RTTY test I lost audio in, thought I had a bad cable or lose connection, but no, the dam sound card (Soundblaster 16bit) just stopped working. So in the mean time I decided to drop back and use the on board sound card. I then check the calibration against W

Problem with 30 meters is the rapid band change that occurs in the evenings, 40 is somewhat better for Stateside coverage then goes long and then later 80 meters is FB but eventually goes long! From 7-9PM EST 40 is the best, before that time 30 meters and after that time 80 meters. Ron W4LDE

Dave, Another thought, depending on what center frequency for the audio decoding may well determine what USB transmit frequency we recommend. For those using OLIVIA on 40 meters the center of the signal is 750Hz, on 20 meters the center is 1000Hz since on 20 meters its a 1000Hz wide signal. C
