Folks, if you intend to operate ANY digital mode for Field Day or any 
other day for that matter, please read the radio manual with regard to 
passing audio from the computer to the radio and learn the radio 
adjustments and what they do and how they are used. Also read the manual 
regarding correct configuration of the computer and application 
software.  One must understand at least 3 different systems.  (a) the 
radio adjustments, (b) the computer operating system, (c) the software 
application.

Yes, ANY radio incorrectly configured and adjusted WILL TRANSMIT CRAP!   
Don't be laughed at and called a LID.  RTFM

There is absolutely NO reason for transmitting a dirty or distorted or 
wide signal.    NONE!  If your signal is dirty, distorted, or wide, it 
is clearly the fault of the operator.
