[TenTec] TT omni vii if port problems

[Vic Klein]

I am using the same setup and like it very much. Are you listening to the
audio from the computer instead of the rig? I usually mute the HFSDR, but if
you are trying to listen on the computer you certainly need to calibrate the
HFSDR or you may be listening to a spot different from where you are
transmitting. Some other suggestions:

1. Have you calibrated for each mode? The offsets are usually different for
each, but once done the panadapter frequency display is very accurate and
usable
2. Due to the way the Omni works bandwidth, note that the calibrations will
only be good for the bandwidth used in that mode. If you adjust bandwidth
the frequency appears to shift
3. There can be some odd interactions between HFSDR and other programs using
the OmniRig interface. Most of the time I deselect the option (Options/CAT
to OmniRig/Sync to OmniRig) to let the HFSDR program send rig control
signals to the radio. With Sunc From OmniRig still checked it will still
track anything done in other programs or from the front panel, but won't
cause issues. If I need to use the panadapter to hunt and pounce on signals
(like with a 6m opening), I recheck that option but just don't tune using
the rig knob while it is on.

Hi all.I installed an if port output as per 3 rivers TT omni vii dongle 
instructions to enable me to use a pc as a spectrum monitor. it works fine
on 
receive but the minute I transmit, am told I am off frequency.
I am thinking of either installing a relay that will disconnect the dongle's
if 
input during transmit.
Anyone else have a different work around?
