Matt,
Glad you got something working. The wav files are nice, but you
will have to start tuning in real signals.
Not sure how much monkeying around with the screen will help.
Tinker if you want, you can always untinker later.
The left knob is TX audio and the middle knob is RX audio. You might
want to try increasing the TX (left knob) and decrease the VOX (right
knob) and see if you can get the radio to key.
You can hear PSK on 20 meters anytime the band is open, between 14.070
and 14.073 If you are on 14.070 use USB mode, if on 14.073 use LSB mode.
Open the filter in the radio to 3 khz. The psk software will grab all
the signals in that 3 khz for decoding.
Have fun, Steve KW3A
