Set DAX TX gain

Adjust the DAX TX gain slider to control how much audio from your transmit slice is sent through the DAX TX stream to connected software.

Before you start

  • The radio must be connected. The DAX Audio applet requires an active radio connection.
  • DAX must be enabled. Click Enable in the DAX Audio applet if it is not already active.

Steps

  1. Click the DAX tray button on the right sidebar to open the DAX Audio applet.
  2. Locate the TX: row at the bottom of the applet. The slider to the right of the TX status indicator is the TX gain control.
  3. Drag the thumb on the TX gain+meter slider left or right to decrease or increase TX gain. The value is saved immediately and persists as DaxTxGain.

What each control does

Control Default Range Persisted key
TX gain+meter slider 0.5 0.0 – 1.0 DaxTxGain
TX status indicator — or Slice A–H (none)

The TX status indicator shows which slice currently holds TX privileges. It updates automatically as the TX slice changes. The meter bar behind the slider displays the live TX audio level scaled by the current gain setting.

Tips

  • The meter bar reflects post-fader level: it shows the actual output level after your gain setting is applied. Moving the slider gives immediate visual feedback even before you transmit.
  • A gain of 0.5 is the default starting point. If your digital mode software reports overdriven or weak audio, adjust from there in small increments.
