Please also make sure you have installed SmartCAT, and it is running.ġ) Open SmartSDR and connect to your radio.ģ) Set the mode to DIGU, Filter to 3K or 5K.ĥ) Your setup should look like the graphic belowġ) Click the DAX tab in the slice and set the channel to 1.Ģ) Make sure the DAX button is clicked in the P/CW tab on the right.ģ) Your setup should look like the graphic below.Ĥ) Open DAX Control Panel and click the '1' RX Streams Slice “A” button and verify it turns blue in color.ĥ) You should see the red volume bar move due to incoming audio from SmartSDR.ġ) Switch to SmartCAT and you will need to add another COM port for PTT trigger.
