Re: Adjusting Volume into the radio for FT8 on an FT-818
There is no fancy stuff in Apple¡¯s internal audio interface. As I said, the key is to adjust the input level for the operating system so that you avoid clipping. 73, Borja - EA2EKH

Re: Adjusting Volume into the radio for FT8 on an FT-818
Rod That 'volume level' in FT-8 is the actual audio level coming from your radio, out of the Accessories socket. IIRC, it is a fixed level of 600mV, so you need an interface between the radio and

Re: Adjusting Volume into the radio for FT8 on an FT-818
I don't know the apple world very well, but I'm sure you can regulate the input level. Maybe there is a sort of AGC or gain is too high. I suggest having an external sound interface for digital mode,

Re: Adjusting Volume into the radio for FT8 on an FT-818
Agreed. Also check the external soundcard levels in the OS, utility, or device panel. Sometimes the gain/volume is cranked up by default.

Re: Adjusting Volume into the radio for FT8 on an FT-818
Narrow band digital modes are special beasts. So special gain treatment is needed. The WSJT manual recommends the optimum way to adjust it, which is: - On a FT-817 enable ¡°IPO¡± which reduces

Adjusting Volume into the radio for FT8 on an FT-818
When using FT-8, the Volume is almost always in the red zone. No matter what I adjust, I can't seem to find middle ground. The Sound settings in my Mac are either too low, or too high. Again, no

Re: Battery charging - completion not auto but based on fixed time period?
{sigh} Yes, it's just by time. You get to be the "smart charging" algorithm in judging how long to charge, based primarily on gut feel. There is little indication of what the battery's

Re: Why is wideband VHF coverage only to 154MHz?
He doesn't want to transmit, he wants just to receive with it. Most newer radios that I know of have coverage of the 162 MHz weather radio channels. My FT-857, FT-897 and VX-6R all receive in this

Re: Why is wideband VHF coverage only to 154MHz?
It is a legal amateur radio, not an illegal one! Even when you using the FT-817 for transverter-use, the frequency range should be more then adequate! Why using an HAM-Radio out of the legal

Mick, That call sign has an associated DMR ID so presumably is allocated. We can only assume it's correct unless it's been pirated. I've asked the chap to use his name and call in his messages. Thanks

Re: Why is wideband VHF coverage only to 154MHz?
The 817 is clearly a fantastic radio...but presumably was there a technical reason for only providing wide RX coverage up to 154 MHz? Otherwise surely coverage up to 175 MHz RX would have been
