I got my Christmas present early. I have been using custom cables and direct connections between my Macintosh and my Kenwood V71 VHF transceiver. It has been working pretty well with no complaints. Only issue I have had is several people have asked me to help with their Signalink and I really have not had access to one. So for Christmas, I decided to buy one.
So how did I set it up?
As far as connections I used the DIN-6 Connector on the back.
Wired it per the instructions but used the 9600 baud option
Setting up FLDIGI I set the following:
Use "USB Audio CODEC" under Audio Devices menu
Rig Control - Hardware PTT
check "PTT tone on right Audio Channel"
Turned off SYSOP mode on the Radio.
Interesting I had to have this on with the custom cables. I will have to re-look at this using
the cable method.
And it worked.
This is about the same I have been doing when I have been working with others trying to get theirs set up.
The real question is does it work better or not. I have not been having any problems with the other setup so this will be hard to tell, but we will see over time.
