Hi all,

I'm glad so many of you are trying out the newest version of DarwinPSK. 
I apologize for the lack of documentation, but that will come. 
Meanwhile, it's a Mac application -- play around with it and docs 
become unnecessary ;-)

Some pointers:

1. Check the settings in Finder > System Preferences > Sound to see 
where your input and output are going. These control the final sound 
I/O for DarwinPSK. I'm having a peculiar bug with the output level not 
holding its setting after I have run DarwinPSK a while; anybody else 
experiencing this?

2. In DarwinPSK menu Settings > General Settings take it out of Demo 
mode and enter your callsign and UTC offset. You might also play with 
the sound levels, but I'm not sure they do anything yet. In the 
Settings menu, the Macros work beautifully and are pretty slick.

3. PTT through the USB port does not work yet; Volker is working on 
that now.

I haven't set up my rig with DarwinPSK yet because there was an issue 
with the #@%! MFJ interface so it wouldn't key the transmitter with VOX 
before. Maybe it will work now.

Exciting times.
