Configuring WinWarbler for PSK Operation

  1. on the Configuration window's Soundcard tab, choose the Soundcard devices to be used for reception and transmission with the PSK & RTTY Reception and the PSK & RTTY Transmission selectors, respectively

    1. take care to select devices on the Soundcard connected to your radio.
    2. if your Soundcard has multiple inputs, see Multiple-input Soundcards

  2. on the Configuration window's PSK tab

    1. set the Receiver modulation to BPSK USB

    2. in the Receiver tuning panel,

      • set the search range to 50

      • set the AFC limit to 50

    3. in the Receiver tuning display panel,

      • select waterfall

      • set the waterfall display to mono

      • set the channel ID to traces

      • set the waterfall gain to 5

      • set the spectrum gain to 5

      • set the frequency trace width to 1

      • set the baseline clipping to 0

      • set the FFT averaging to 1

      • set the squelch speed to fast

      • set the optimal offset to 1500

    4. in the "Transmitter" panel,
      • set the modulation to BPSK USB

      • set the CW ID speed to 19 wpm

      • set the CW ID string to de yourcallsign

      • set the RX-TX Offset(Hz) to 0 (blank is fine)

    5. in the "Transceiver" panel,
      • set the mode to SSB (note: some transceivers provide a PKT or DATA mode that must be selected if the soundcard audio output is connected to an input other than the transceiver's microphone input)

      • set the PSK Offset (Hz) to 0 (blank is fine)

      • set the Default TxPwr boxes to the power you expect to use (in watts)

    6. set the Soundcard clock adjust to 0 (blank is fine)
