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
