Question
Which of the following connections is made between a computer and a transceiver to use computer software when operating digital modes?
Answer Options
- A) Computer “line out” to transceiver push-to-talk
- B) Computer “line in” to transceiver push-to-talk
- C) Computer “line in” to transceiver speaker connector
- D) Computer “line out” to transceiver speaker connector
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
In a digital mode setup, the computer needs to receive the audio tones from the radio so the decoding software (like WSJT-X) can process the signal. The audio signal is received by the transceiver and sent out through its speaker or headphone jack.
Therefore, the connection that carries the received signal is from the transceiver’s speaker or accessory output to the Computer “line in” or microphone input. The computer’s ‘line out’ then sends audio back to the radio’s mic input for transmission (T4A06).
