[digitalradio] Re: ROS 10 meters
I agree Wes. This is nuts. Not content with QRMing the NCDXF beacons on 20m now they're going to go after the 10m CW propagation beacons? Lunacy! Who is in charge of deciding ROS frequencies?

[digitalradio] Bad sound card?
Hello, When purchasing a new radio this last week I decided to also set my computer up how it should have been long ago. I purchased a sound card to dedicate it to digital modes. The sound card purchased was: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0239854 It was $9.99... I wasn't asking for the world, but I didn't think I would get this. I am curious as to what you think? Here's the synario. I connect the line out to my rig blaster and when I transmit I get this: http://jeremy.cowgar.com/files/bad_sound_card.wav This was recorded from my mom's station that is 8 miles away. Obvious problem. I then simply moved the line out cable from my new sound card to my old sound card that is built into my mother board. No other changes. I do not have a recording of it, but it's beautiful, exactly how a feldhell signal should sound. Now, the most obvious thing would be is my sound settings wrong, i.e. way overdriving with the new sound card or something. I set them up the same. Looking at my ALC meter, I transmit into a dummy load, turn the line out volume up until I get ALC movement, then turn it back down until I cannot notice any ALC movement. Do you have any ideas? It's just $10, but I'd really like to have a dedicated sound card for the ham stuff, and please do not suggest a Signalink as I already have a nice setup, all wired and working, I just need to get this squared away. Until then, I'm working off my sound card built into the motherboard. Thanks for any help, Jeremy KB8LFA
RE: [digitalradio] Bad sound card?
Could it be that the card is set up for 5.1 surround instead of simple 2-channel stereo, or that you actually have the audio out connected to the wrong output - like the rear speakers on 5.1 surround? Most sound cards I've used come with a console that lets you set the card for various protocols, like 5.1 and so on. Hope it's something simple like that!

Re: [digitalradio] Bad sound card?
Jeremy Maybe the fact that it was 10 bucks may have something to do with it.

Re: [digitalradio] Bad sound card?
Yes, Dave, it is 6-channel card, so maybe Jeremey can disable four of the channels and any special effects. 73 - Skip KH6TY Dave 'Doc' Corio wrote: Could it be that the card is set up for 5.1 surround instead of simple 2-channel stereo, or that you actually have the audio out connected to the wrong output - like the rear speakers on 5.1 surround?

[digitalradio] Re: Bad sound card?
$10 is probably about the average cost of a build in sound cards in the average computer and they work just fine. I've run into more issues with the higher end build in cards and having to disable all the crazy DSP options. I had one install that upon receiving MT63 it would only get about the first 30 characters and you'd see the waterfall signature rapidly dim. It wound up that there was a noise reduction setting I had to uncheck by accessing the sound card icon in control panel. The card thought MT63 was unwanted noise and just decided to automatically lower the level until it heard no more! -Dave, KB3FXI --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, John Becker, WØJAB w0...@... wrote: Jeremy Maybe the fact that it was 10 bucks may have something to do with it.
