Also, on my Chrome instance on my laptop, I had to give permission to the web page to access my microphone.? Once that was done, then the spectrum widget showed up on the page.

If you've blocked all access to your microphone in the Chrome settings (which can be set to 'allow all', 'ask me' or 'block all'), then you may or may not get a prompt to allow, depending on how you set things up on your browser.

Also, AF, there is nothing on the "assembling the kit" page or the following operating page that tells:

1) Which of the front panel jacks are the mic, phones, and CW jacks (might be obvious to the designer) and they are not labeled on the cabinet, either.? Guessing is probably not a good idea, since the mic jack has voltage on it.? Can a mono plug be plugged into the phones jack, or will that short out one channel and possible blow something?? You can bet someone will try.

2) How to get into the setup menu?? By experiment, I found that by holding the encoder button down and cycling the power, I got into a set of menus to calibrate the screen, followed by 'use 10 MHz to set the LO' (took some head scratching but I was finally able to use 10 MHz WWV to zerobeat) and finally the BFO adjustment.? I've yet to find anything on the "assembling" or "operating" pages to help folks calibrate their V6.

Finally, I couldn't find the BFO alignment page from any of the other pages on the web site.? It seems it is 'hidden'.? The only way I was aware of it was because you posted it on this mailing list.

And oh yeah.? In spite of claims made that all boards are test and calibrated, I've yet to receive one board (V3, V5, or V6) that was calibrated when I received it.? ?Am I just that unlucky, or is this a common issue?

Thanks, and 73,

When I connect to the web page provided on my computer (Windows 10) without a microphone, I get just the instructions.? When I connect to the same page on my laptop, also Windows10, with a mic, I get the graphics showing the current audio spectrum.? See the screen shot in pdf format attached.

I would suggest you verify that you have a source of audio that the page can access.
