To: w8lvn The DB scale doesn't move even at 100 watts. On the radio I have the comp. set at 0 and the ALC just barely moves. I tried several contacts using 100 watts but still no answers. TNX, NC4MI

When you are using FT8, does the DB bar at the lower left move at all?

(Often, when I reboot my computer, I need to check my audio settings. But this may not be your issue, as you seem to be hearing FT4)

FT8 quit making contacts. It decodes fine, but when I attempt to make a contact I get no answer. I got an email from some one that said my signal didn't sound right. I monitored my signal while attempting to make another contact and it sounds like a FT4 signal. I have been making a lot of contacts on FT4 with no problems. The FT8 audio sounds like it has a slight warble to it. I did switch modes before I tried FT8. 73, NC4MI
