[WriteLog] FTdx 5000 low monitor audio

[Keith Beebe W3KB]

Mine is a homebrew RTTY interface.  Have had it for years on several rigs.

Don't know what else to tell you. The audio level using the Monitor volume control on the rig sounds fine here.

You must have the MONI switch on and then control the volume via the Moni inner knob of the Moni/Proc volume control on the rig front panel.

GE Keith

         Well FSK is what I use also.  And Joe W4TV Yes I read page 81 and noticed it never mentioned

             RTTY.  I am about to do some more experimenting now.  I wonder what your interface is

         Keith ?   If I find any helpful info I will pass it along.
