Another note to ANY DIGITAL MODE......DO NOT FORGET TO UNPLUG THE
MICROPHONE! FCC TAKES A REALLY DIM VIEW WHEN IT HEARS AUDIO IN THE
BACKGROUND OF ANY DIGITAL MODE because whenever the transmitter is
on, it's transmitting that TV behind you on SSB while your digital
tones are also on the air! Some radios with "data inputs" for the
tones DON'T disconnect the microphone audio just because you
plugged something into it. Test yours carefully.
be sure then to unplug other hardware when using voice or you'll
possibly have a problem with rf feedback somewhere. Oftentimes on
voice nets I'll be working a maritime mobile and ask him about the rf
in his audio only to have it clera up when the op unplugs his tnc.

On another note, have been listening around the psk part of some band
or other with a friend and heard the usual noises windows makes being
transmitted. AS these are usually wider bandwidth audio they're
verbotten in those sub-bands. Be aware of the sounds your computer
makes in just normal operation and be sure not to transmit anything
but what you really intend to.
