AM and USB volume level
Posted: Mon Jun 28, 2021 3:21 pm
I put one of these together this weekend because it looked like an interesting project and I happened to have all the pieces. The build is standard except that I am using a generic USB sound connection from Amazon.
After a coupe of days using it I am really happy with the FM receiver its sensitivity and features. I am sure if I adopt it I will need some changes, the US bands are different and on a 7n inch screen the generic display is less that impressive. But a great project which I hope retains momentum.
Now the down side for me. The audio levels for AM and SSB are much lower than FM and almost unusable since clicks appear loud, but speech does not. I read comments about using the correct sound hardware, but don't think this is my issue because FM works so well. Is there a truck I need to learn for AM and SSB or is something not quite right. Any pointers before I start digging into the build??
