Setting up FT-891, SignaLink USB, and FLDIGI

I'm still figuring this out. I can decode the PSK31 signals, but doesn't seem like I am able to TX correctly.

Physical Connections

The radio cable is connected to the RJ-45 at the back of the SignaLink, and the other end of the cable is connected to the FT-891 through the DATA connection. A USB cable is connected to the laptop and the SignaLink. The external speaker is plugged into the rear of the FT-891.

Fldigi setting for capture/playback. The SignaLink USB is selected for both (USB Audio Codec).






Can see PSK31.


Responding to a CQ (or sending one myself) has not received any response. I don't think I have the ALC setup correctly or the TX/RX volume setup correctly.
