I'm in the final stages of a comprehensive station functional checkout after installing a new K3 in my primary station. Last night I finally got around to trying PSK31 and everything seems to work, BUT...
For some reason DX4WIN really needs a big honkin' audio signal to do anything with PSK. MMTTY, either from within or from outside DX4WIN, has plenty of sensitivity and MixW is OK as well. I haven't yet checked N1MM. I'm using a microHAM Microkeyer II with a built-in sound card. For everything but DX4WIN PSK31 I only need to set its level pot to about 9:00 and I have plenty of signal. To get decent audio in the DX4WIN PSK window I need to turn it up to around 3:00. At first I thought the problem was a sound card configuration issue, but everything checked out and I finally turned up the input and there the signals were. Has anyone else noticed anything else like this? I wonder if it's a feature of the PSKCore.dll engine that DX4WIN uses for this mode. This is far from a problem, just a puzzling thing that I don't have a real explanation for. Is it unique to my station or has this been seen before? This is NOT something unique to Version 8.01. I checked and it acts exactly the same way with 7.07, which uses a slightly earlier version of pskcore.dll. BTW, aside from the minor issues that have already been reported, Version 8.01 continues to run like a train here. It runs 24-7 on my station computer and controls the radio flawlessly when I turn it on. I really like the band map, although a few of the enhancements that have suggested here previously would certainly be welcome. 73...
