control that needs to turned up (check your radio manual).
· If the SignaLink is attached to your radio's Data Port and
the radio supports 9600 baud Packet, then you need to check
that the radio's 9600 Baud Mode setting (if available) is
OFF. If the radio has a Packet Rate or similar setting
instead, then it must be set to 1200 baud . Note that if you
see other baud rates listed besides 1200 and 9600 baud, then
you are looking at the wrong menu item.
Receive audio is present in the waterfall/spectrum
display and adjustable with the SignaLink's RX knob,
but it is too low.
Verify that the SignaLink's RX knob is
turned up (clockwise). Verify that the Window's Recording
level slider for the SignaLink's Line
sound card input is set properly and NOT muted (see the
Setting The Audio Levels section of this manual for
details). If the SignaLink is attached to your radio's Mic
jack then try increasing the radio's Volume control. If the
SignaLink is attached to your radio's Data/Accy Port, then
try increasing the radio's menu based RX Audio output level
control if available (check your radio manual).
jumper JP2 may need to be enabled inside the SignaLink to
increase the RX Audio level. See the Special Jumpers
section of this manual for details.
Receive audio is present in the waterfall/spectrum
display and adjustable with the SignaLink's RX knob,
but it is too high even with the RX knob set near
minimum.
Verify that special jumper JP2 is not enabled
inside the SignaLink. If the SignaLink's is connected to the
radio's Mic jack, then lower the radio's Volume control. The
SignaLink's Line USB Audio Codec Level slider can be
lowered as needed from the initial 0db setting.
I can't seem to receive or decode any signals. Waterfall or
spectrum looks good (Receive Audio is present) - No
matter how good your antenna and radio are, there will
always be some stations that you cannot copy (even with
strong signals!). While the reason for this may be because of
operator error (wrong mode or baud rate, off frequency,
noise blanker turned on, etc.), radio wave propagation
problems can sometimes prevent you from receiving. Some
modes are more susceptible to this than others.
example, even though PSK31 usually works very well with
weak signals, sometimes even strong PSK31 signals cannot
be copied at all because of multipath and Doppler Shift
propagation problems. Other modes like HF Packet and
RTTY do not work well with weak signals and are
susceptible to multipath and Doppler Shift.
If you are having trouble receiving other stations then we
suggest testing with a PSK31 program such as DigiPan. The
20 meter PSK31 frequency of 14.070MHz is usually the
most active frequency. Set your radio to USB (or USB-Data
if needed) and select a wide filter (~2.7Khz).
reduction on the radio should be OFF. Set DigiPan to the
BPSK31 mode.

Windows System Sounds cause the SignaLink to
transmit This will NOT happen if you configure Windows
to use the computer s sound card as the default sound card.
See the Configuring Windows section of this manual to
resolve this problem.
I can no longer hear sound out of my computer's
speakers (no sound from music, etc.)
happen if you configure Windows to use the computer s
sound card as the default sound card. See the Configuring
Windows section of this manual to resolve this problem.
Adjusting the Windows Volume Control Panel has no
effect
If this happens, then you are almost certainly
adjusting the volume controls for the wrong sound card.
Please go back to the
procedure and pay careful attention to the sound card that
you have selected. It must be Speakers
Codec for Playback or Line
Recording. Another possibility is that you have selected the
wrong sound card in your communication program. See the
Communication Program Setup section of this manual
to check this.
Every time I open the Windows Volume Mixer, it always
displays the computer's sound card
Windows always shows the default sound card when the
Volume Mixer is opened. If you have configured Windows
properly, then the computer's sound card is the default sound
card, and it will always be displayed when the Volume
Mixer is opened. To adjust the SignaLink's sound card,
simply follow the steps in the Setting the Audio Levels
section of this manual.
I cannot open or view the SignaLink CD Be sure that the
CD is properly seated in the bottom of your CDROM drive
tray (note that slot type CDROM drives will not work with
mini-CDs!). When you insert the CD into your computer it
should AutoStart after a few seconds, and display the
opening screen in your web browser. If it does not, then you
will need to start your web browser, and open the
STARTCD.HTM file manually.
access the CD for any reason, the same software (plus much
more!) can be downloaded from the SignaLink Software
page of our web site at www.tigertronics.com. Note that the
SignaLink software CD is NOT required for installation.
