***NOTE: If you are using an ICOM IC-7000, IC-746PRO, or Yaesu FT-450, please note that some customers have reported that these radios have unusually sensitive Data Ports, which can make adjustment of the SignaLink's TX knob somewhat difficult. If this is the case with your radio (and the solutions listed above don't work), then you can easily resolve the issue by replacing the SignaLink's "Mic" jumper wire with a standard 1/4 watt size resistor. Both a 47K and 100K resistor have been reported by several customers to allow easy adjustment of the power level. Please note that you **DO NOT** solder this resistor. It simply plugs into the JP1 socket in place of the MIC jumper wire. Be sure that you use a 1/4 watt size resistor, so that you do not damage the SignaLink's socket!

My SignaLink USB was working perfectly but now will no longer Transmit - This is the most common problem we hear about and it is virtually **always** due to the software volume controls being reset by Windows. This can happen if you unplug the USB cable, or change the default sound card in Windows. Please check your volume controls carefully. Note that they will most likely be reset exactly opposite of how they should be set, so they can look correct at a glance. As outlined in the SignaLink Installation Manual, the "Speaker" control should be at 100% (max) and the "Wave" control should be at 50%. Be sure that your volume control panel shows "USB Audio Codec" in the lower left hand corner, or you will be adjusting the volume for the wrong card!
Radio won't transmit (SignaLink USB's PTT indicator is OFF) Verify that the SignaLink USBs PWR LED is ON. If it is not, then make sure that the SignaLink USB's PWR switch is pressed in and the USB cable is securely connected to the computer and the SignaLink. Verify that your communications program is configured to use the SignaLink USBs built-in sound card. The program should have USB Audio CODEC (or "USB Audio Device" with Windows Me/2000) selected as the sound card for both Transmit and Receive. Verify that the PLAYBACK volume controls for the SignaLink USB are set according to the Setting The Audio Levels procedure. If they are too low, then the SignaLink USB's PTT LED will NOT turn ON. Incorrect software volume control settings are the number one cause of transmit problems, so please be sure to see the "My SignaLink USB was working perfectly but now will no longer Transmit" issue above. If the SignaLink is plugged into a USB hub, please remove it from the hub and plug it directly into the computer's USB jack until the problem is resolved. Un-powered hubs and some powered hubs cannot supply enough power for the SignaLink to operate properly, so (Receive will usually work, but Transmit may not). See our SignaLink FAQ for more details on this.
Radio won't transmit (SignaLink USB's PTT indicator is ON) - If the SignaLink USB's PTT LED turns ON but the radio doesn't switch to transmit, then you have most likely installed the PTT jumper incorrectly on JP-1 (go back and double-check ALL jumpers!). If the SignaLink is attached to your radios Data or Accessory Port, then another possible cause is that your radio isnt configured properly to use that port. Some radios require the radio to be set to a "digital" mode such as "Packet", "User-u", "Digital-USB", etc. Consult your radio manual and verify that your radio is in the correct mode. NOTE: If the SignaLink is plugged into a USB hub, then you need to verify that the hub is a powered hub. Non-powered hubs may not supply enough power for the SignaLink to operate properly (Receive will work, but Transmit may not). See our SignaLink FAQ for more details on this.

My transmit signal is wide or distorted - This is generally the result of over-driving your radio. Verify that your radios speech processor/compressor is turned OFF. Your radios Forward Power control (sometimes called RF Power or Carrier Power) should be set to maximum. If you have lowered this control to decrease your transmit power, then you more than likely have not set the audio levels correctly, and are overdriving your radio. Follow the Setting The Audio Levels procedure to correct this problem. If the above mentioned radio controls are set correctly, then try turning the radios Mic, Data or Accy Port gain and see if that improves the quality of your signal (Data/Accy Port gain is usually a radio menu setting). If this has no effect, then you may have the software PlayBack volume controls, or the SignaLink USBs TX level control set to high. See the Setting The Audio Levels procedure to correct this. Contact Tech Support if you cannot resolve this problem.
The SignaLink USB's TX control is "touchy", making it difficult to control my RF power - This is most likely because the radios Mic, Data or Accy Port gain control is set too high, but before continuing, please be sure that you have NOT installed special jumper JP3 inside the SignaLink. This jumper is rarely needed, and will normally cause the SignaLink to provide too much audio to the radio, making adjustment of the TX knob difficult. If the SignaLink is attached to the radio's Mic jack, then you can resolve this issue by turning the radios Mic Gain control down. If the SignaLink is attached to the radio's Data or Accy Port, then your radio likely has a menu setting or trimmer to adjust the gain. This gain adjustment is often called Packet Input Level or Packet Gain, but may have another name, so check your radio manual carefully. Note that the radio's Mic Gain control on some older radios may also affect the Data/Accy Port, so you should check this as well. If the above solutions don't help, then you can try lowering the Windows software "Wave" control for "USB Audio Codec". We normally suggest setting his control to 50%, but it can be lowered to just above the point where the SignaLink's PTT circuit stops working (PTT LED turns OFF). We recommend finding this threshold while transmitting a steady test tone, and then setting the Wave control just slightly higher than the threshold point to provide reliable PTT operation. Note that the SignaLink's Delay knob should be set to minimum when making this adjustment. NOTE: If you are using an ICOM IC-7000, IC-746PRO, or Yaesu FT-450, please note that some customers have reported that these radios have unusually sensitive Data Ports, which can make adjustment of the SignaLink's TX knob somewhat difficult. If this is the case with your radio (and the solutions listed above don't work), then you can easily resolve the issue by replacing the SignaLink's "Mic" jumper wire with a standard 1/4 watt size resistor. Both a 47K and 100K resistor have been reported by several customers to allow easy adjustment of the power level. Please note that you **DO NOT** solder this resistor. It simply plugs into the JP1 socket in place of the MIC jumper wire. Be sure that you use a 1/4 watt size resistor, so that you do not damage the SignaLink's socket!

I can't seem to receive - There are several possible causes for this problem: SignaLink USBs RX level control or radio level control set too low Verify that the SignaLink's RX level control is turned up (clockwise). If you are using Speaker Audio from the radio (not a fixed level signal from a Data/Accy Port), then verify that your radio volume is turned up. If your communications program doesnt show any signs of Receive Audio (no waterfall display, etc.), then please review the Connecting The Radio and "Setting The Audio Levels" sections of the SignaLink USB Installation Manual. Computer too slow or incompatible with software. Software not configured properly - Check the documentation for the program that you are using and verify that your computer meets the minimum requirements. Verify that the program is configured correctly (the SignaLink USBs USB Audio CODEC should be selected as the sound card). If all else fails, try using a different program.
Why Can't I Receive Some Stations - No matter how good your antenna and radio are, there will always be some stations that you cannot copy (even with strong signals!). While the reason for this may be because of operator error (wrong mode or baud rate, off frequency, etc.), radio wave propagation problems can often prevent you from receiving. Some modes are more susceptible to this than others. For example, even though PSK31
usually works very well with weak signals, sometimes even strong PSK31 signals cannot be copied at all because of multipath and Doppler Shift propagation problems. Other modes like HF Packet and RTTY do not work well with weak signals and are susceptible to multipath and Doppler Shift.
Windows "System Sounds" Cause The SignaLink USB To Transmit This will NOT happen if you configure Windows to use your computers sound card as the default sound card. See the Connecting The Computer section of the SignaLink USB Installation Manual to resolve this problem.
How do I operate "direct keyed" CW with the SignaLink - This is done by simply connecting the SignaLink's PTT and Ground lines to the "Key" and "Ground" lines of your radio's Key jack. One of our un-terminated radio cables can be used to make these connections. You will need to attach the appropriate plug for your radio's Key jack to this cable. Using our SLCABNC cable, we suggest attaching the white/orange wire to the tip of the plug, and the orange wire to the plug's body/sleeve. You will then need to install the SignaLink jumpers as follows; PTT to 1, and G (ground) to 2. Note that direct keyed CW is limited to about 25 WPM on Transmit (there is no limit on Receive), so if you need to transmit faster than this, you'll want to run AFSK CW.
Do I select a serial port when configuring my communications program - Some communications programs will have a COM Port selection for PTT (Push To Talk), and some will also have COM Port selection for radio control ("CAT" control). The SignaLink does NOT use a serial port for PTT control, so your communications program should be set to "None", "COM0", "External VOX", or a similar setting to indicate that a serial port is not used. Some newer programs have a "SignaLink" setting that should be used if available. If you have a CAT interface and will be using it for radio control, then the CAT control portion of your communications program should be set to use the COM Port that the CAT interface is plugged into. If you do not have a CAT interface, then this should also be set to "None" (or similar).

What general settings must I make when configuring my communications program - As explained in the SignaLink Installation Manual, you must configure your communications program to use "USB Audio Codec" as the sound card for BOTH Transmit and Receive. You may also need to disable serial port PTT control and CAT control as mentioned in the question above. These are typically the only settings required to use the SignaLink USB with most programs, but some programs do have other "special" program specific settings such as "use AFSK in place of FSK", or "send CW as AFSK" that may need to be set. In general, you can configure most programs properly if you remember that you will be operating AFSK (audio tones/modulation) and NOT using a serial port for.
I see "USB Audio Device", but not "USB Audio Codec" when using the SignaLink USB - Is this correct? Windows ME and 2000 may display the SignaLink USB as "USB Audio Device" instead of "USB Audio Codec". If this is the case on your system, then you simply need to select "USB Audio Device" instead of "USB Audio Codec" as the sound card. I don't see a "New Hardware Found" (or similar) message when I first plug in the SignaLink USB - This is generally not an indication of a problem. You may not see a "New Hardware Found" message when plugging in the SignaLink USB for the first time because of a number of reasons, including the speed of your computer, the version/build of Windows you are running, or the way Windows is configured. If you want to confirm that the drivers were properly installed, then (after waiting a minute or two after the initial plug-in) open your communication program (DigiPan, etc.) and confirm that the SignaLink's "USB Audio Codec" sound card is available in the list of available sound cards. If it is, then the drivers are properly installed. Note that the SignaLink MUST be connected to the computer, or you will not find it listed as an available sound card even if the drivers have been installed.
Windows 98 can't find a file during installation - There is a bug in all versions of Windows 98 that causes the Operating System to sometimes "forget" what drive the installation CD is in during installation. If you receive a "Can't Find File." error message during installation of the SignaLink USB, then you will need to manually enter the location of your Windows CD drive into the dialog box when prompted. For example, if your CD drive is "D:" then you will type "D:\WIN98". Note that you may also be able to click the location drop down menu and select the correct CD drive location.

Windows resets the SignaLink USB's software volume controls to incorrect positions - If the SignaLink's USB cable is unplugged or the default sound card in the computer is changed, Windows may reset the SignaLink's software volume controls to incorrect levels. The symptom for this problem is that the SignaLink USB was working perfectly, but now will not transmit. This issue can be resolved by manually setting the "Speaker" volume control back to maximum, and the "Wave" control to 50%, or by using the "QuickMix" utility to save and restore your volume control settings.
Every time I open the Window's Volume Control Panel, it has reset back to my computer's sound card - This is perfectly normal. Windows will ALWAYS show the default sound card (which should be your computer's sound card) when opening the Volume Control Panel. The only place you should see the SignaLink USB's sound card "stick" is in your communication program (DigiPan, etc.).
11025 Hz Sample Rate offset error - Due to a Windows system issue, some Windows ME, 2000 and XP computers may show an abnormal sample rate offset error of around 7000 ppm at the 11025 Hz sample rate (other sample rates are NOT affected). If this offset error occurs on your computer, it can result in your transmit (modulation) frequency being off from your receive frequency. When operating digital modes, this can manifest itself in several different ways. With PSK31, other stations may not respond when you answer their CQ, or they may respond but say that you are off frequency. It can also result in both you and the person that you're talking to "walking" across the waterfall as each of you corrects your tuning after
each transmission. On MT63, this problem can result in other stations not being able to copy you, or they receive your text in lower or upper case only, or certain characters such as spaces are missing. This issue can be easily resolved in virtually all cases by simply changing the sample rate in your communication program from 11025 Hz to 12000 Hz. It's important to note that changing the sample rate will NOT hurt anything if this problem doesn't exist on your computer, so if you're not sure, we suggest changing it just to avoid the issue. Also, other standard sample rates (8000, 22050, 44.1, etc.) work just fine and do not need to be changed. It should also be noted that Windows 98SE and Windows Vista systems never show this offset error.

Sound Card Calibration - Transmit and Receive sample rate errors and sample rate offset errors occur with all sound cards, and can cause you to experience transmit and/or receive problems when operating digital, if the error is large enough. The sample rate error can cause a variety of problems depending on the mode that you are using. With PSK31, other stations may not respond when you answer their CQ, or they may respond but say that you are off frequency. Other stations may respond to your CQ, but be off frequency so that you can't copy them. These errors can also result in both you and the person that you're talking to "walking" across the waterfall as each of you corrects your tuning after each transmission. On MT63, this problem can result in other stations not being able to copy you at all, or they receive your text in lower or upper case only, or certain characters such as spaces are missing. With SSTV, sample rate errors result in slanted pictures. If you are using Window ME, 2000, or XP it is important that you see the "11025 Hz Sample Rate offset error" issue above before going any further. This will resolve most sound card calibration issues. If this doesn't completely fix the problem you are experiencing, then sound card calibration might be necessary to remove the remaining error. This can be done with your communication program's built-in calibration routine if available (see your program's documentation), or with the "Check Sample Rate" utility that comes free with the popular "Mix-W" program. If you use the Check Sample Rate utility, be sure to select the SignaLink's sound card and let it run for at least 30 minutes. Do not use your computer for anything else during this time, and do not let it go into sleep or suspend mode, or the results will be invalid. After at least 30 minutes of operation, the TX/RX offset error displayed at the bottom of the program window will settle and can entered your communication program to correct for any sample rate error. In DigiPan, for example, you would enter these numbers in the "Configure - Sample Rate Corrections" menu. Other programs have similar options - See your program's Help documentation for details. For the most accurate calibration possible, you can calibrate your system using the sound card calibration procedure contained in the MMSSTV program's "Help" documentation. This procedure uses your transceiver and the WWV time station to obtain sub 1Hz accuracy. While some users might want to do this for the sake of having the most accurate signal possible, it should be noted that this isn't normally necessary. Excellent performance can virtually always be achieved by using one of the procedures listed above.

SignaLink "Plug & Play" Jumper Modules
Our new "Plug & Play" jumper modules plug into the SignaLink in place of the jumper wires that you would normally use. This greatly simplifies installation and completely eliminates the possibility of installing the jumper wires incorrectly. Swapping radios is also easier, as you just unplug one module and plug in another. Most jumper modules are compatible with both the SignaLink USB and older SignaLink SL-1+. Modules are currently available for the most popular radio configurations, and new modules for other configurations will be added soon.

SLMOD13K - This jumper module works with the SignaLink USB only (not SL-1+) and is compatible with all Kenwood radios that have a 13-pin Accy Port. There are three different PTT configurations used by Kenwood, so you must set the PTT jumper as shown below for your radio. Be sure to see our radio wiring and jumper settings page for any special notes on your radio (menu settings, etc.).
NOTE: If your radio is not listed below, then we recommend trying jumper setting #1 first, and then setting #2. You will NOT damage your radio or the SignaLink if you use the wrong jumper settings, but your radio will not transmit properly (no output power, "hot" Mic, etc.).

Setting #1 - This configuration is the most common and works with early Kenwood radios such as the TS-140, TS-450S, TS-870 and TS-950. Some newer radios such as the TS-570D and TS-2000/X also use this setting.
Setting #2 - This configuration is less common and is used by some newer radios (TS-690 for example), and some older radios such as the TS-440.
Setting #3 - This configuration works with the TS-940 only.
==============================================================================================
Installation Instructions
The installation of the of the Plug & Play jumper modules is very simply, but you need to be careful that you don't bend any of the pins, or they may break off and become stuck inside the SignaLink's socket. You should not have any trouble if you are just the slightest bit careful, but please note that broken pins and/or any damage to the jumper module or the SignaLink as a result of broken pins, is not covered under warranty. Also, before installing any jumper module, please verify that you are installing the correct module for the radio and/or radio cable you will be using (see part numbers shown above!). It is possible to damage your radio and/or the SignaLink by installing the wrong jumper module, or by installing it backwards, so please check carefully before proceeding. The header pins used on all jumper modules are small and relatively sharp, so be careful that you don't stick a finger! Module Insertion - To install the jumper module, place it lightly on the SignaLink's JP1 jumper socket being careful to align the notch on the jumper module (white board outline) with the notch on the SignaLink's circuit board (white colored outline around the JP1 jumper socket). Carefully look at each pin to make sure that all pins are centered in the socket holes, and then gently press down evenly on the module until it is seated securely in the socket. Be careful not to press on any jumper pins that might be mounted on the top of the jumper module (SLMOD13K, SLMOD8RI, etc.). Special Jumpers - Some jumper modules have one or two special jumpers that may need to be set for your radio (the PTT Configuration Jumper for the SLMOD13K module is a good example). If this applies to the jumper module that you are installing, then be sure to see the jumper notes in the appropriate compatible radio links shown above. Module Removal - To remove the jumper module, you will need to pull it straight out while being careful not to bend any pins in the process. Be careful not to drop the module when it pulls loose from the socket! We suggest gripping the module firmly with a pair of pliers, but any suitable tool can be used. Some customers have removed the jumper module with a flat blade screwdriver by slowly prying up on both ends a little at a time until it is out. This is ok ONLY if you lift each end up just the slightest bit (going back and forth from one end to another) so that the pins are not bent in the process. If you remove the module this way, you need to go very slow and be sure that you don't lift too much on one end, or put pressure on any of the parts that are mounted on the SignaLink's circuit board. NOTE: Each jumper module is carefully inspected before being packaged and shipped to insure that all pins are straight and the module is in perfect mechanical condition. We use only high quality gold-plated pin strip header, and the header is designed specifically to plug into the machined socket on the SignaLink circuit board repeatedly. However, it is important that the pins do not become bent during installation or removal of the module, or they may break and become lodged in the SignaLink's socket. This is NOT covered under warranty and you would need to return the SignaLink to the factory to have the socket replaced, as well as purchase a new jumper module.
