On Linux the calibration of the volume setting seems to be sound card specific rather than any well defined scale.
There have been a couple of requests to decrease the range of the slider, as some find it too coarse. It used to be 10dB (so probably 20dB on Windows) before I changed it to the level before this change. Personally I use it on minimum regularly for testing with two WSJT-X instances back to back, the minimum as it was was just right i.e. just decodable and not audible. I suspect that on air the minimum before this was reducing the modulation to the same level as any transmitter close in spurii. What should be the maximum attenuation? Is the "true" 30dB as a result of this change better then the previous 60dB? > > -- Joe 73 Bill G4WJS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
