Works with Orion....Re: [TenTec] MixW and use with Orion andArgonautV

Jim,

When you adjusted the audio controls of the soundcard, did you adjust the
levels when it is in recording mode or playback mode?  Common mistake that
people miss.  Go to the audio mixer in windows, then to options, then to
properties, then check "recording" then adjust.  Hope that does it.

Jim - N8LUV - here in Michigan, (Argonaut-V)

Yes, N4PY's suggestion does work. MixW is now handeling the freq. as well
as mode in fine business on my Argonaut-V. --- However, I still have not
got the Aux Jack - #1 with the optional cable to work with the Dell
computer's soundcard. The computer is hearing nothing! --- Sure would be
nice to get all of this to fly! --- Wow, all modes, a log, and rig
control all in one program - great if I can get it all to fly. I am
closer now then I was a few days ago.
