CocoaModem

[Mike Reublin]

Trying to get RTTY/PSK set up and having a hard time with CocoaModem. The K3 line out
is NOR 10. Increasing it doesn't seem to do anything. I'm using an iMic. I've
selected that in CM, and the volume is set about 3/4 full scale. I've tried the iMic
set to both line and mic, no difference.

CM is printing garbage. The tuning aid/waterfall show nothing. No transmit.

Anybody see anything I need to change or set?

Hi Rick -

I think so. The output and input tabs have the slider almost full scale. The "Use
audio port for" is set to output on the output tab and on the input tab it's set to
input. I'm running Lion.

I have often tripped myself up using CocoaModem by messing up one of these three settings in
the PSK Configuration panel:  (1) Forgetting to set "State" to "Active" (2) being set to the wrong
sideband (will depend on how you've wired the cable from soundcard to computer) and (3) forgetting
to set "Input" device correctly (it will default to Built-in Microphone" and needs to be set to your
particular device).    Maybe one of these has tripped you up (?).

Cheers -

Bruce

Thanks, Bruce -

The "Active" thingy bit me, and that got me a bit further. It now recieves, but when
I click "Transmit" the K3 gets keyed, but has no output. I don't hear a diddle.

I assume you mean the cable from the soundcard to the radio? Yeah, it's OK.

The correct sound device is selected.

"soundcard to the computer" ... sometimes, I wonder where I left my brain ... yes, of course, what
I meant to say was "soundcard to the rig".

Glad to hear you are now receiving.   With regards to now getting output, the only thing I
can think of checking is the L/R sideband selector in the bottom (output) section of the
PSK config screen (assuming you've got the output device set correctly).  This will again
depend on how you've got the soundcard-to-rig cable on the transmit side wired.

Sounds like you're close to success ... good luck!
