This is likely a dumb question, but until now I've only done soundcard modes.  This is my first TNC of any kind.  I recently bought the P4 Dragon DR-7800 and have finally had some time to play with it.  I got it working with RMS Express and Airmail, but for some reason I can't get SCSmail to run on my machine.  No matter, I will sooner or later.  I've made connections and sent emails, but my ALC is nearly maxed out so I know that I'm over-driving.  Here comes the dumb question part - I see a brief section in the manual about setting PSKampl and FSKampl values along with the appropriate commands to enter in order to change the settings.  My question is: Where do I enter these commands?  I haven't found anything resembling a "dumb" terminal mode in any of the software that will let me enter such commands.

 

Also, what else can I do with it other than send email via HF?  I'm beginning to think I should have bought a lower model that has more modes, etc...

Thanks,

Bruce

RSM Express: Setup/TNC Setup you can change fska es pska levels here.

With EasyTransfer / GAMMA Reloaded we can exchange pictures with a high speed.

Thanks Peter,

I should have mentioned - I found these settings in the TNC setup menu and set them all the way down to 5 with no luck.  My ALC is still off the scale and since I am using the data port on my Yaesu FT-450 I have no way of adjusting the gain there.  I was hoping there was a way to set the ampl in the hardware on the TNC itself.  Part of the problem may be that on the RMSexpress software that I have there is no selection for the DR-7800 so I selected PCT II pro.  Perhaps this setting simply doesn't work with the DR-7800?  None of the others seem to either, though.  :(

Hi Bruce,

:: My question is: Where do I enter these commands?

You can find "FSKA" and "PSKA" commands when you type"help" on the terminal software.

Default value for FSKA is 100 and PSKA is 120.

I connect my P4Dragon to  FT-2000D / Yaesu (packet connector) and my FSKA  value is 60 to 100.  ALC meter never swings.  

Hope the above be helpful.

Kind regards,

Joe JK1DNW Tokyo
