Get the box working.  That's the initial goal.  You can get sidetracked
verrrrrry easily because of 1) the complexity of the software and
options list, 2) having to think 'outside the box' maybe coming from the
hardware controller world which is less flexible or 3) confusing
operating system with application and getting wrapped around the axle or
4) overthinking the process.  Thousands have successfully built and are
operating this system.  If it's not working...go back to square one and
go step by step.

Would never say that. Like I said, I've hooked everything from a radio
station audio console to wouxuns to motorola mobiles of all stripes to
GE MVSs to a couple of Hamtronics POS t/r individual boxes to ?.  I love
diddling with the thing and am amazed of how SIMPLE it is to get
working.  For instance, I just stood up a link to my MSF5K 900 machine
via a pair of 70cm mobiles (with cooling...), one an MVS, the other a
GM300...running two radios as a simplex node...and it took a little
doing...but it works, off two individual antennas (one receive, one
transmit).  And sounds just fine.  Now, have to work on dumping all the
beeps and boops from various systems linked in....but it's working is
the key.

Experiment all you want.  I do.  But, in the end...you have to have a
foundation to build on.

I didn't say that...but it's hard with this system to not have a good
audio quality IF YOU READ AND FOLLOW the tuning directions.  But, yeah,
git-r-done.  Don't get lost in the weeds.
