Gerald, You do not say what type interface you're using (i.e. SignaLink, RigBlaster, etc.). Regardless, sidebars on your signal is indicative of you overdriving your transmit audio - not too much power. As long as I do not overdrive my transmit audio, I can run 100W without sidebars and do so regularly on WINMOR.
Check your ALC. It should be not more than four bars with a flickering fifth bar. On my SignaLink, I adjust my transmit audio with the TX pot on the front. I can tweak it a bit with the mic gain. 73, Joel - W4JBB On Apr 30, 2012, at 13:06, KC6CNN <[email protected]> wrote: > I am now up and running on psk31. > I had my power set to 25watts and all is well.
