There are three (at present) that may help you as you fine-tune your audio chain. In any case, please have a look at my Transmit EQ adjustment tutorials on Youtube. Your mileage (and other people's opinions) may vary. I just wouldn't choose it for my main mike setup unless you can also connect the mike directly without the extra baggage of the USB interface. If you are running remote, it would be a good mike to use. I was able to make adjustments to the Transmit EQ in order to balance things out, but it never sounded quite as good when going through the computer as it did when connected directly. As I switched inputs, the audio was always clearer with the direct BAL connection. I compared a) feeding the audio from the mixer into the Balanced input of my 6500 and b) getting an unprocessed feed from the USB output of the mixer through the computer and back to the rig using the the "Remote" function and "PC" mike input. HDSDR (former WinradHD) is an advanced version of Winrad, written by Alberto di Bene (I2PHD). Typical applications are Radio listening, Ham Radio, SWL, Radio Astronomy, NDB-hunting and Spectrum analysis.

I have done A/B testing using my Heil PR22 and a Behringer Q802USB mixer. HDSDR is a freeware Software Defined Radio(SDR) program for Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10/11. Not horrible in a rag chew, but it could spell death in a contest or hot & heavy DX pileup.Ģ) There may be some loss of audio fidelity due to limitations in your sound card/computer processing before the audio gets to the rig. I have experimented using my USB Mixer and processing the audio using a program called "Stereo Tool" and had up to 250 ms Delay/latency due to the conversion and processing. If this is not an issue for you, it isn't a problem. Take a look at this article from Ham Radio and Vision for some selected utilities, based on the operating system of your PC.1) Sending audio to your computer via USB and then back to the 6000 will introduce some added delay that you won't have with a direct connection to the rig. Depending on what OS you are using (Mac, Linux or Windows), the solution is rather different. If you want to use a WebSDR and a digital decoding program like MultiPSK, you will need to be able to route the audio from the web to the input of the program.
