Maestro's audio level and compression software meters during CW go full scale.

Have had the Maestro for about a week now. Worked CW today on the local LAN and the new right hand side compression and level meters go nearly full scale when CW is sent (particularly the Dashes.) I can close the meters from the screen, but that just hides what is going on. Microphone control does not function in the CW mode, so I can't turn down the audio level I am seeing on the meter.
Is this normal for Maestro's CW?

Hi,
I have jut posted a similar question with the same issues.
Did you find the answer ?
Thanks

What version of software are you using? This question is for both Doug and Glenn.0
-
Hi Tim version 2.0.19, I was using 2.1.30 but it was locking up.
Thanks
Glenn0 -
Please try 2.1.32 and see if you have the same meter behavior. If so and you need to revert back to 2.0.19, then go ahead and do that.0
-
Thanks Tim In my post I also asked if there is an adjustment for the signal or a method to check if you’re overdriving ? Thanks Glenn0
-
If the mic meter peak indicator shows red, you are overdriving it.0
-
Tim, I am using version 2.0.19. Since I am operating remote from 1600 miles from the Flex 6700, I don't think I should try an upgrade of the software on both ends. There is no one there to do a reset if that is required.

Both the peak meter and the compression meters on the Maestro go into the red. No matter what power setting I use.

Mic level is not power dependent. It is mic gain dependent0
-
I can appreciate your reservations for not upgrading. However, since the current release is 2.1.32, I an only entering defect reports for the current GA version.0
-
Tim Not sure if your missing my point. I refer to CW when I asked if it’s possible to overdrive and transmit a distorted signal. How do you check and adjust it or does the software take care of it in order to produce a clean signal ?0
-
Tim, why should the mic gain impact the CW note?
0 -
Glenn - I misunderstood the context of your question. No, you cannot overdrive the radio when using CW.
Doug - It does not.0 -
Thanks Tim, difficult with two strings going on one message haha...0
