Packet levels

On our implementation, with the notch on the top and looking into the connector from the 1-o'clock position clockwise:-

1. PR1 from the radio into the TNC
2. PKS - PTT keying
3. output from the TNC to the radio PKD (calibrated for an output of 40mV p-p)
4. Ground to radio DE

The output from the soundcard is quite strong and requires a 10k-pot to bring the level down. That said, the alsamixer values we settled on in the TNC are as follows:-

Speaker 28
Mic (muted) MM
Capture 48
AGC (muted) MM
