How I set up the Barrett 4050 SDR to the SCS DR-7400 Modem

Swipe the screen from the left side and choose "Audio" in the menu
Your Audio Levels: may vary.
Line Out Level 0 dBm
Line in Level -6 dBm

Your Audio Levels: may vary.
PSK-1250
FSK-1000

Testing parameters:
Winlink Express Levels: PSK-1250, FSK-1000
150 watt power level, No Audio transformers or Ferrites cores used.
Antenna was a Fan dipole at 26 ft high and less than 30 ft away from the transceiver VSWR 1.7:1
It produced a clean signal and performed as advertised.

(Amateur) Expected radio power output approx. 120 watts
(Commercial) In Canada ISED licence stipulations maybe considerably lower power depending on location.
(Commercial) Power output is calculate in ERP

If you experience degraded audio signals RFI/EMI try adding Mix 31 Toroids (1-300 Mhz) to the audio cables.
If you want to decouple the audio then transformers might be an option.
