[App_rpt] General config questions....try #2

[David McGough]

Hi Jim,

Yes, I think it's setup okay....The radio is an IC-706mk2g, and it DOES
work. I'm just getting spurious DTMF audio muting when DTMF is falsely
detected. The VERY trimmed-down node stanza is:

[222]                           ;;; IC-706mk2g
rxchannel = Radio/usb1
remote=ic706
duplex=0


And, the nodes section is:

[nodes]
111 = radio at 127.0.0.1/111,NONE		;; Kenwood TKR-850
222 = radio at 127.0.0.1/222,NONE,y	;; Icom IC-706mk2g

The related chan_usbradio stanza is:

[usb1]
hdwtype=0
rxboost=0
rxctcssrelax=1
txctcssdefault=0.0
rxctcssfreqs=0.0
txctcssfreqs=0.0
carrierfrom=usbinvert
ctcssfrom=no
rxdemod=speaker
txprelim=no
txtoctype=notone
txmixa=voice
txmixb=no
invertptt=0
duplex=0
eeprom=0


Thanks,

David KB4FXC
