Figure 11 Rear Connector Settings

Note the values for submenu '05', '08', and '09'. Although we rarely use the sub-receiver for data it's still
a good idea to set both output levels the same. Note that all the values for submenu items 06 through 13
are the factory defaults. If you use any other device connections to the 'ACC2' or 'optical' outputs, this
will be where you make those level adjustments. You may use these for a packet TNC or External RTTY
Terminal Unit (TU). You may need to adjust the value of '05'very low (maybe less than 5) in order to
reduce ALC indication for no activity later on. This is not a problem, but make changes only 1 digit at a
time. In some cases it may be necessary to use the value of 1 here.
At this point you have completed the 'basic' preliminary settings which should allow us to being the
actual configuration of the CAT program – Flrig. Other models of transceivers will have similar settings
and will most like not look exactly or be named like these. Be sure to copy down the critical settings of
baud rate for the transceiver side of the CAT program as this is important! We will use the same setting
for baud rate in Flrig (the CAT program).
Congratulations on your work so far! In the next sections we will be connecting the rig to the CAT
program (Flrig), then pulling the entire configuration together and actually connecting it to the main
Program – Fldigi.
