Re: Mute doesn't, well, mute...

Max, I’m on the road, but I will attempt to post more photos as attachments when I get the chance. I’ve played with every slider option on the menu bar including visual gain. I don’t agree with how visual gain changes any of the receipt parameters as it should merrily change the picture you’re looki...

Re: Mute doesn't, well, mute...

Picture2.jpg Picture1.jpg I played with all the settings tonight. No deal. It appears to mute all signals except my transmit signal. This was all through the MFJ-1708B SDR TX RF Switch and a DX engineering receiver guard. I also tried to transmit without the receiver guard and still no muting. Than...

Re: Mute doesn't, well, mute...

My transmitter (one off many) is torn down for restoration and in a pile of parts on my bench. The next time I set up to transmit, I’ll take some screen grabs. I will also use a QRP rig (5 watts or less) for comparison. Again, I’m using the SDRDuo, MFJ 1708B RF relay, the DX engineering receiver gua...

Re: Mute doesn't, well, mute...

I have the mute and restore at maximum duration. It still restores too quickly during QRS (slow) Morse code. It appears the entire waterfall does indeed mute, but the strong signal of my transmitter still shows over an S-20+ signal on the display. Despite using the MFJ-1708B (which is working perfec...

Re: Mute doesn't, well, mute...

I am running the latest version 3.3 which I downloaded last night to update version 3.2, which also had mute issue. My transmit signal is 50-75 dB over the limit I have set for mute and all the settings are as recommended in the mute pane. I would love to see a longer mute delay. When the mute was w...

Mute doesn't, well, mute...

I've been having trouble with the mute either not working at all, or recovering too soon. I use SDR Console with a lower power boat anchor. It worked fine for hours and now won't mute the strong signal from my transmitter which is bleeding through my MFJ RF switch. I have the latest firmware and hav...

Re: Mute Recovery happens twice?

I set the level as close to the idle signal level as possible without causing auto-mute kicking in inadvertently. About 5dB seems to be as close as you can get reliably. I know how to use the settings. As I stated, it worked perfectly for seven hours of operating my transmitter with the software as ...

Re: Mute Recovery happens twice?

Ok. So there are TWO AGC controls. One on the tool bar across the top and one below the Mode selection in the receive tool bar. If I have AGC enabled on the top tool bar, the receiver recovers twice, and I miss part of the QSO. When disabled, the AGC control in the receive panel on the left below th...

Re: Mute Recovery happens twice?

Nope. My settings in auto-mute are perfect and actuate and recover as I like. My issue is that after it recovers, the audio mutes again and then recovers again, making total recovery time far too long and making me miss the beginning of the next exchange using CW.
