FM on the local 145mhz QRG but whit "tiny" voice

Postby OZ1CT-Ben » Sun Dec 23, 2018 3:28 pm

trying to run my hpSDR on FM 145mhz but is there a way to set the Deviation when you TX ??? I can se that in RX you can change it from 2.5k to 5k wide, the reason is that when I speak it sounds very "tiny" I have try to change the Mic level and also the TX-gain in the VAC1 ( I run my setup remote) but with no luck ???

Ben,

I don't know anything about transverter operations, or FM operations, with PowerSDR. However, it might be as simple as changing your transmit passband settings to be wider in Setup > Transmit.

Hi Scott

I found the "Error" as I am running remote I use the VAC-cable and I have the "VAC1 TX Gain" set to 0 but I raise it to 40 and then I have a god and strong voice on FM :-)

That doesn't seem correct. You should be providing sufficient audio gain well prior to the VAC interface such that the Mic Level in PowerSDR is hitting between 0 and -6dB with VAC TX Gain set to 0dB. 40dB is a ridiculous amount!

Return to “PowerSDR mRX”
