[App_rpt-users] Noise reduction on receive audio from Allstar

[Eric Guth]

Problem solved.

Ken was right.  Thanks Ken.  Changing the configuration on the usbradio.conf to flat audio, and not pre-emphasized audio solved the problem and made listening on Allstar much more comfortable.  Thanks to all who answered me.

Now - has anybody actually deployed a node with the Dingotel USB Fob?  I picked up two units some time back and want to experiment with them.

OK – well - you could have an analogous situation there, where you have selected pre-emphasized transmit audio and your rig only needs flat, “microphone’ audio.

I am referring to audio coming from the link and transmitted to me on my node.

That would make everything high pitched and noisy

Folks,

I notice that when hams are noisy into their Allstar node or the repeater connected to the Allstar node, the noise on their signal seems to be higher pitch and accentuated.  Some folks are always noisy and therefore difficult to copy.  Does anyone else have this problem, and has anyone reduced the noise with either software running on the server or some hardware inserted in between the audio from the URI or CM108 dongle to the transmitter?  I was thinking a DSP audio filter (more expensive than my whole node).
