When operating PSK31, SSTV, RTTY, etc using your PC sound card; READ close and understand these digital operating rules.
You should always set the RASCAL and SoundCard gain (transmit) controls of your transceiver at 50% or less than half its rated power output.
Most HF transceivers are NOT rated for 100% duty cycle in key-down modes. PSK31, SSTV, & RTTY are KEY DOWN modes. I've learned this lesson long ago... the hard way. These settings may change a small amount as you move from one band to another.

When operating PSK31, SSTV, or RTTY/FSK on the HF bands:

Don't use the audio speech processor, turn it OFF.

Don't drive your transceiver into ALC action.

Don't run your transceiver at full RF output power, adjust output power to 50% or less of its rated power output.

The HF PSK31 frequencies are as follows:
160 meters - 1.807
80 meters - 3.580
40 meters - 7.070
30 meters - 10.140
20 meters - 14.070 Beginners, Start Here.
15 meters - 21.070
10 meters - 28.120

Operation of PSK31 is typically in USB mode, thus the actual operating frequencies will range from the lower frequency, upward by three (3) kHz. In theory, this means that you can plunk a hundred, 31 Hz, PSK31 signals into the same spectrum as one SSB signal might occupy.

RASCAL/MIC Switch for transceivers without an accessory jack. EZ switch'n between MIC and RASCAL, Just Flip the switch. It's great when operating SSTV, and modes requiring both voice and digital interaction. The 5 pin DIN at "A" plugs into the RASCAL I/O jack, the Screw-On connector at "B" connects to the radio mic jack. The 3.5mm (1/8") plug at "D" plugs into the (Ext Spkr) "Y" connector (included), and the Radio Microphone connects to the MIC jack at "C". Overall length is nine (9') feet.

So you bought one of those (brand X) interfaces that don't isolate the sound card receive audio (input/ Line IN).
This ISOL8R will provide the isolation and help prevent HUM, they forgot to include.

If you only order one, order it for the Sound Card LINE OUT, to protect your Transmit audio from HUM.
ORDER 1, to isolate your transmit audio, 9.97 ISOL8R

SAVE and buy 2, CBL-ISOL8R , Use one for Sound Card IN, and one for SoundCard OUT.
ORDER 2, and save, 17.97 ISOL8RX2
