I recently bought an Alinco DX-R8T and am starting to play with it. I bought the ERW7 cable and downloaded KGSDR for the R8. It installed without a hitch. Next, I started to set up so I can receive digital modes and decode CW.
I downloaded WinPSK, DigiPan and CWGet but none of them receive anything from the radio. I did check to be sure it was in "IQ" mode. The laptop I'm using runs Win10 and has an internal mic and a single jack marked for headphones, though it also supports a mic. I plugged the ERW7 into it, but none of the programs communicated with the radio. I tried hooking an audio cable from both the speaker and headphone jacks on the R8 to my laptop, but no luck. I checked the drop-down menus in the programs, but couldn't find anything that helped.
I'm obviously missing something: either the wrong hook-ups or the wrong programs....or it can't be done. I'd appreciate any advice anyone on the forum has to help me out.
