Re: [linrad] WG: How to configure sound mixer

[pa0ez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Conrad,
You are completely right. Pity that linrad does not work with my mixer
control.
In fact I am looking for a programme which in "real time" can do a better
decoding of weak morse on the microwaves than the processor in my head. Nor
the windows programmes, nor linrad do it.
In fact I have been able to run Linrad with a cs4232 driver, but rather
clumsy mixer settings.
