[TenTec] Jupiter w A/T ettings for Digital (PSK31) Communications

[Henry Mackey]

Hello Stuart,

Rest assured that I am not into anything of my rig. That is why I mentioned to Jim that I had to fire up my system and run it a bit before I could maintain a real handle on how I ran it. 

I may be incorrect on this as I have yet to do that operation with the system, but it seems to me that I controlled the output power with the sound card software. The power setting on the Jupiter was at 100%. However, I would reduce the power according to the rigs meter to 20-25 watts and avoid any ALC. 

Like I said though, I am pullling this from my memory and I may be as wet as the lobsters in the tank at Red Lobster's.

Henry,
I would expect if you are into the ALC active region of your rig, you are 
possibly distorting the signal, and that is bad for digital encoding.  Very 
little power is needed for perfect copy PSK 31, and less is more, (more 
successful).
