If the radio is keying up but the power out is zero, then there's a problem somewhere in the audio chain between your PC and your radio. Start by plugging headphones into the soundcard port you're using to drive the RigBlaster and having the digimode program send something -- CQ would be OK. If you don't hear anything, then it's time to get into the audio mixer on the PC, move sliders up, and uncheck any "Mute" checkboxes: if you can't hear it, your radio certainly won't. Once you have sound coming out of the PC, follow the chain to the RigBlaster. Make sure the audio is going into the right port on the Rigblaster, and then check the RigBlaster audio out and/or phones ports for tones. If you have tones there, then the next stop is the radio, to make sure that it's hearing the mike when you hit the PTT switch and talk into it. If it is, but you're not seeing the PC tones come through the RigBlaster, then you'll need someone who knows more than I do. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO mi...@mikea.ath.cx Tired old sysadmin
