I’ve set it to 12 for now and am getting good decodes albeit with the receive bar in the red. If I turn it to zero I stop seeing signals in my waterfall but the level bar stays mainly in the red.

My Rig’s Aux Out Volume has a range of 0 to 15. I have lowered my windows microphone level from 100% to 1% and I haven’t seen any impact. My receive levels are in the red no matter what I do. Setting the audio levels for WSJT-X has been frustrating. Here are my setup screens: FLrig config WSJT-X Config In my case this is FLrig from the FLdigi suite of programs. Getting WSJT-X to work pretty much requires a third-party interface to work. After this is done disconnect power and the serial interface cable then connect it again and restart. Just don’t forget to click the 1K checkbox when starting the transfer or there will be problems and you will have to reflash. Xiegu recommends using a terminal program called Tera Term and uses the old XMODEM protocol for file transfers. First the main unit is flashed then the display head. It is fairly painless with the included interface cable. I won’t get into the details of firmware installation on this rig. I am currently running Firmware version 1.78b01. This is one of the many somewhat fincky aspects to this rig. It has been mentioned several times that the rig should be powered dup before connecting the serial line. The audio cables come from the rear of the rig and the control cable goes to the side of the display head. Like the FT-817ND setup, I am using the Digirig interface albeit with a different cable set. Starting with the rig and antenna combination, the G90’s built-in tuner has no issues finding a match to the 44 foot doublet across the 40m to 10m bands.
