AGW will operate on 2 channels at once, simulating a Kantronics KAM or
9612 dual port TNC. You can use any combination of 300, 1200 or 9600
baud on the two ports. <br>
<br>
However, you must have a STEREO audio input to your sound card to
implement the dual-port mode. This means your sound system MUST have
a LINE level input in addition to the MIC input, since virtually all
MIC level inputs are monophonic. (The second contact of the 3.5mm
stereo MIC-in mini-jack carries DC power for electret mics; not a
second audio channel.)<br>
<br>
You will probably have to throw together a simple op-amp audio pre-amp
with perhaps 10-20x gain for the 9600 baud side. The so-called 9600
baud output of the transceiver is actually just the raw output of the
FM discriminator before de-emphasis or squelch. Normally this is a very
low level signal, typically 50-100 millivolts. The LINE-IN of the
sound system will require a signal more like 500-1000 mV. <br>
<br>
This audio amp should have very good low frequency response (large
coupling caps or even direct DC-coupling) since the 9600 baud signal is
actually a square-wave logic-level waveform (not audio tones). The
preservation of the SHAPE of the wave form (i.e. no rounding of the
corners or level shifts of the horizontal parts of the square wave) is
important at 9600. This is by contrast with 1200 where only the
FREQUENCY of the wave is important. [This is why transformer-coupling
of 9600 amost never works while it works perfectly at 1200.)<br>
