[TenTec] Oll & Digital Modes

[Tony Lelieveld]

Andy,

Here is a link for FLDIGI. 
https://sourceforge.net/directory/os:windows/?q=fldigi  You have to pick the 
download for Windoze.  You know that I use a small speaker and mike into my 
computers' soundcard which works very well and use VOX to key the my 
ORION-II.  I assume that the Auxiliary mike input will also work on the VOX 
but I am not sure.
One important thing  for setting the VOX parameters, is that when you press 
the menu button then the VOX button you have the three options.  I 
discovered (ask me how I found out) that the VOX level is the most sensitive 
at a low % level.  Contrary to my way of thinking increasing the % level 
will DECREASE the VOX sensitivity.  Here are my settings (for the Mike 
input).

VOX Trip Level:  1%
Anti-Vox Level    20%
Vox Hang              0.40 seconds.

Hope that helps.
73, Tony VE3DWI.
