Hi=20 Marcus

 

I=20 can never resist the opportunity to play with new software=20 decoders!!

 

I=20 have tried to set up the software according to the readme file but no = success=20 so far.

 

A=20 folder has been setup with all the files from your zip +=20 sndutl_e.zip

 

I=20 am using an SDR14,  VAC 4.12,  Win7/32,=20 WSPR2.11

 

The=20 VAC is set as default Soundcard for recording and output. The SDR14 = (dial or=20 reference frequency =3D 136 kHz)  is set to use VAC for output. = WSPR is set=20 for VAC as input.

 

I=20 have set WSPR with BFO=3D670 Hz.

 

After=20 running wspr-08_rx.bat

 

The=20 Sound Input panel shows  fr/Hz =3D 670 (autoset); ft/Hz =3D 0 ; = bu =3D 100% vo=20 =3D 0%

 

The=20 Sound Output panel shows fc/Hz =3D 2000;  ft/Hz =3D 0; bu =3D=20 0%

 

The=20 DOS CMD panel shows some sort of loop action: copy audio.dat = audio2.dat 1 file=20 copied; goto loop; waitraster 600 -20; del audio.dat; waitraster -120 = -5 etc=20 etc

 

However=20 WSPR is not seeing any signal input.

 

Where=20 is my mistake in setting up??

 

73=20 Terry
