[Elecraft] K2 + SignalLink: Setting gains for digital modes

[Gerald Manthey]

Chris, what mode are you trying and what do you have your power set to?
Also if your RX and TX on the Signalink are maxed, use the Signalink
internal jumper to boast the gain so you can turn them down. Also check the
computer volume both sound and microphone recording. And make sure the
computer is recognising the Signalink as a USB audio codec .
