Subject: Re: Setting the audio level for use in soundcard data modes.

[Edward R Cole]

Just a suggestion (or hint) for setting up DATA-A:

I programmed my K3 (and KX3) memory channels with my favorite
operating frequencies.  Digital modes have standard sub-band or
operating frequencies, so I set up my K3 modes (eg CW, SSB),
including DATA-A selection for my favorite digital "channels".

Example on 6m:  I have 50.100 programmed for CW, 50.125 for USB,
50.200 for DATA-A (eme) and 50.260 for DATA-A (msk144).  Of course
the selection of digital modes is done in the sw (e.g. WSJT-X).  I
have several instances of my WSJT sw set up for different digital
modes so I only need launch that instance of sw to be up and running
on a given mode.  Soundcard audio settings still need tweaking but
the test signal selection in the sw makes that a quick function (I
use an external soundcard with manual level controls).  My K3 Line In
is set to 10 which works fine for me.

On 2m-eme I use MAP-65 which a different sw than WSJT, so 144.125 is
set for DATA-A and I just launch MAP-65.

Hope this suggestion might ease changing of modes for some of you.

To further expand on Ed's suggestion,
I have set up the "Quick Memories" (1st 10 memories) to do the band
switching.  See Quick Memories in the manual.
Once on a band, I use the M1-M4 buttons to get to the band segment I want:
M1 takes me to the CW portion with all settings set for CW,
M2 takes me to the SSB portion with all per mode settings for SSB
M3 takes me to the Data band segment with the per mode settings for DATA A.
M4 is not included, but if I am on a frequency monitoring a QSO, I can
quickly store that band, mode, etc. information and QSY, then come back
to that frequency, mode easily after a bit of time.
