[App_rpt] Getting app_rpt base node to work.

An update.  After digging into the Tk-880 I noticed that either you must use
the internal or external speaker connector so I just bridged the output wire
onto the internal speaker wire.  Now when I dial 390 I can hear the Tk-880.
Still don't have transmitting working.

	First thanks to everyone for all your help thus far.  I have the DPO
setting and now when I do dial the 390 I hear something but it's not
understandable.  Also I can't seem to get the TX light to come on with the
DPO set.  I think I may have a problem with the way the TK-880 is setup.
I'm using the KCT-19 accessory adapter but the service manual has a few
jumpers on it and no so clear documentation.  I'm wandering about the PTT
and also if the speaker out is working on the TK-880 they way I expect it
to.  Any experience with the TK-880?  Also is there another cheap radio that
would be easier to interface with?

Regards,

Shane

Shane,

1. the red light is turning on, the radio should transmit, that is, unless:

The radio PTT interface is not correct.
Most radios ley their transmitter when PTT is connected to ground.
Check the manual for your radio to verify that this is the case before 
proceeding.

If you have verified that your radio needs to see a ground on PTT to
transmit, 
then make sure JP4 is installed (to connect the other side of the PTT relay 
to ground), force the red TX light to light by plugging it in to your
channel 
bank as you mentioned in the prior message.

If your radio still won't transmit when the red light is on, then turn off
the 
radio and check the for continuity between pins 7 and 8 on the ARIB radio 
interface connector with a meter. There should be no continuity when the red

light is off, and continuity when the red light is on. Be sure you are 
measuring between pins 7 and 8 on the connector. 

If the red light comes on and there is continuity between pins 7 and 8, your

radio should key its transmitter in this case. If it still doesn't, then you

need to go back and check your connections to the radio and/or verify that
it
is designed to key its transmitter when the PTT line is grounded.



2.  Adtran TA750 needs to be set up for DPO not tandem(E&M). The E&M setting

is only intended to be set in the Asterisk configuration. Please refer to
the 
TA 750 manual to configure it for DPO mode.

Steve.
