I have discovered that the receive audio level in FT4 is much moresensitive than the other modes. I had initially kept my receiveraudio at the same level as I had been using for FT8 but quicklydiscovered that it was too high, causing many cycles of no decode.Dropping the receive audio down to a much lower level seemed toimprove the decode rate rather significantly. This may or may notbe the case with the systems in use at other stations but I thoughtI would report my finding as it might assist others just coming ontoFT4. I also found that upon execution of FT4, my microphone audio sliderin Windows went from +0.4 db to +30 db, or maxed out. The only wayto get the receive audio input correct was to go back into theWindows Audio panel and manually set it as close to 0.0 db as possible.Has anyone else encountered this? So far I have thoroughly enjoyed the new FT4 mode. Thus far I have been using itin the S/P mode, not RTTY RU mode. Thus far I have bagged almost twodozen contacts in record time. Much faster than any of the other JT modes.Thank you, developers! As long as there is FT4 activity I feel thatI will adopt this new mode for general use, not particularly for RTTYcontest use. I hope that a large portion of the FT8 crowd follows meover to FT4 because it is MUCH faster. I love it! Best regards, Gary, K7EK Radcliff, KY (EM77at)
