Richard, While "common logic" will say to adjust the spot volume to match the AF gain level of the signal to be spotted, that is too much trouble and involves a lot of "button pushing and knob twiddling".
A simpler solution is to just adjust the AF Gain control to bring the signal down to the spot tone level. That works no matter where the spot/sidetone level may be set. Try it, it works and is a lot faster than trying to change the spot/sidetone level. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/31/2011 6:45 PM, Richard wrote: > These two sounds are intended for two entirely different psychoacoustic > tasks.
