Some interesting observation of TX Atten settings by band with the TS-590S under Mac OS X 10.6.7.
I used the FB keyboard shortcuts to tweak in each setting in the PSK or RTTY portion of the bands. I try to have no more that one bar flashing in in the ALC position on the TS-590's S-Meter. I know 'they say' zero ALC but when nothing shows on meter you may be too low. This is why I tune display on bar flashing. 7.035 MHz = -12.1 10.143 MHz = -13.8 14.085 MHz = -11.3 18.103 MHz = -12.2 21.070 MHz = -11.7 28.120 MHz = -12.0 50.300 MHz = -10.7 I really like the new addition and the keyboard shortcuts are useful and used. I wonder what attenuation levels others are requiring to adjust out the ALC? By using the new TX Atten tool I am now able to use the TS-590's default setting of Step #4 for Input Data. Before having the tool Step #2 was too low and Step #3 was too high and I had little on no wiggle room on OS X Sound/Output volume slider. It was near the stop on the left of side of the slider. It is now sitting at about 25% with good wiggle room. The TX Atten is a winner!
