Hi Don, I am in the same boat with FLDIGI. I finally gave up on the internal sound card, and used a Signal Link that is seamless and fine tunes tx, rx and delay level settings perfectly. I also use my 9700 with USB access to MacDoppler satellite tracking and can go back. MacDoppler in the upper left, Interface on the upper right, and station controls along the bottom. I am using my Maestro as the Flex Client. Now, to spend some time learning to use MacDoppler. I will publish details on the Node-Red users forum.
