[Ham-Mac] CocoaModem and DiGi KEYER with FT-857

[Dick Kriss]

David M0XDF,

What your mentor was saying is to watch the ALC on the S-meter of your
FT-857.  The optimum setting is full power output with no ALC showing on the
S-Meter.  I don't know about the FT-857 but my Kenwood even has has an
option for me to monitor the audio output of the transmitted signal.  I
listen to hear if the output sounds normal but keep an eye on the ALC on the
S-meter.  If you have too much ALC try lowering the output of your sound
card (or Digi Keyer).

Maybe someone running a Digi Keyer and FT-857 will provide a better
response.

73 and congrats on the the first PSK31 QSO.
