      I have found it difficult to build a PS2 connector going to the
      rear of the FT-1500. The easiest way for me to to deal with the
      FT-1500 was to find a PS2 keyboard extension cable (junk store or
      recycle) and cut off the female end to expose the 6 wires and
      route them to the URIx, modified USB FOB or any controller you
      might use.  The FT-1500 does not need to be put into the packet
      mode for the the rear connector signals to be active. The 9600
      Baud Pin (4) is basically discriminator audio and unused in this
      case. Use the 1200 baud pin (5) as the RX audio to feed the URIx.

            Using the FT-1500 if you use the 6 pin Packet connector you
            will have all the signals needed with enough drive to run
            most things. Choose 1200 baud and let the radio do the tone

                        style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Tahoma;color:black">I
                        find that voice levels are highly dependent on
                        the person speaking, the rig they are using, the
                        node radio,  and probably a dozen other factors.
                        Generally setting the audio so you see peaks
                        just above 5 khz should be OK. Some radios have
                        better limiting than othesr and the peaks are
                        well defined. On some you can see peaks go well
                        above what you would call max but the average is
                        much lower. One thing you don't want to do is
                        have it set too high. Digital distortion is very
                        annoying. I often use iaxrpt's level meter for
                        adjusting or looking at multiple users for
                        comparison. If you are filling the iaxrpt bar
                        graph to 9o-95% without hitting the edge you are
                        good.<br>
                        <br>
                        I often find that one node that shows 80% peaks
                        actually sounds louder than one that shows 95%
                        peaks. Audio characteristicsome of them to have a decent
                        level of audio and then you have breath noise.<br>
                        <br>
                        If you use a wide range of radios that you use
                        to talk to your node it is best to check them
                        all. You may have to come up with an average
                        setting so that the loudest radio does not
                        distort. <br>
                        <br>
                        Talk into the radios the way you would when you
                        are not thinking. If you adjust it talking right
                        into the mic and then when you aren't thinking
                        you usually talk 2 inches away the level is not
                        going to be right.<br>
                        <br>
                        In the future we hope to have audio processing
                        capability added to the code to help fix some of
                        these problems. <br id="FontBreak">

                          Using the FT-1500 if you use the 6 pin Packet
                          connector you will have all the signals needed
                          with enough drive to run most things. Choose
                          1200 baud and let the radio do the tone decode
                          if needed.<br>
