new Microham DXP installation with WSJT



Today my new Microham DXP interface arrived.  Serial number 14.

Easy installation is one of the main keypoints of this box.

However, after reading the manual, WSJT-X did not work.   For the guys who want a quick solution, just 2 tips : 

1. do not forget to change the Winkey setting on the DXP box to PTT (it has "none" as standard, so no PTT available). 





2. if you read the manual (I have version 1.0) it seems that you have to set the input tot DXP RX Left.

Not !!!  I had to set it RIGHT.  Now it functions.





First impression comparing to the USBIII interface : in FT4 I easily receive signal of -20dB.  I did not catch them with the usbIII.   


So I am ready for the first FT-contest this weekend.   It will be a try-out on 20m with high power. 1500W  If needed, I turn back to 1 KW or even 500 W.
