Aid
or
use the

Tx Master and Tx Wave (Transmit Audio Volume): The Tx Master sliders and the Tx Wave volume sliders work together to control the level of the audio going to the radio for transmission. The Tx Master sliders are an over-riding control that further adjust the Tx Wave volume. "Wave" indicates the source of the audio, which in this case means the PE Pro programs and the packet tones it generates. The left column sliders (first and third) control the left channel or radioport 1 of the sound card. The right column sliders (second and fourth) control the right channel or radioport 2. Initially try setting the sliders 1/3 up from the bottom. Your best setting will depend largely on how well the attenuation circuit in your TX audio cable matches the optimal TX input level of your radio. None of these four sliders should be at or even near the absolute bottom of the scale, since this may stop all audio output. Rx (Receive Audio Volume): The Rx sliders control receive audio -- the left slider controls the left channel/radioport 1 and the right slider controls the right channel/radioport 2. Again, try setting the sliders 1/3 up from the bottom initially, but be sure not to set them too low since it may stop all input (they don't have to be to the very bottom for audio input to be stopped). Select Rx Input Line: Select the sound card jack into which you have plugged your Rx audio interface cable. Usually this is the LINE IN or Microphone (MIC) jack. As the screen says, other potential audio sources -- CD, phone, etc -- will be muted to prevent them from distorting the Rx signal. (If you opt to use the Microphone instead of the Line In for RX in, be sure that you do not use the Microphone Boost option of your sound card. You can check this from the Windows Volume Control program as described below.) Set These Levels on Start: check this box is you want PE Pro to remember these audio level settings and to apply them whenever PE Pro starts up Restore Levels on Exit: check this box is you want PE Pro to remember what the audio level settings were before PE Pro started and to restore those prior levels when PE Pro shuts down. If you use your sound card for programs other than PE Pro, these two options will be helpful. They allow you to set the volume especially for PE Pro and then return them to their previous settings when you exit PE Pro. When you are done making any settings changes, press OK to save your settings (or Cancel to ignore any changes) and return to the Tuning Aid window. Note: There is a bug (as of version 2003.1005) which prevents these controls from changing any sound cards other than the first one installed. If you have additional sound cards installed, you must change their settings by using the Windows Volume Control Program (see below).
