[App_rpt-users] Distorted audio in app_rpt/Allstar

[George Csahanin]

just a thought. Maybe a line in drupal node 193 that warns that depending on 
the PC's USB handling the DSP may or may not work well. I know originally I 
figured that the "word' was 'better than 1200 mhz' CPU so the D201 and D945 
boards would be fine, but because of this USB issue it isn't, not a big deal 
because I just extracted COS and PTT from the radio.

But I will say that some of it may be the kernel's handling of things. Now 
I'm way above my pay grade here, but I did connect same USB fob to the same 
PC running Winders XP. Played steady tone out and it was fine and pure with 
no interruptions. Boot back to ACID (Limey does it too) and play out a tone 
(radio tune txvoice) and it had the interruptions. Maybe modifying the 
kernel options? I recall there being different options for various chipsets 
and so on, and USB is in there too...

Back to my cave in Jersey...

That's USBradio which has the DSP stuff in it. If you can get COR and CTCSS 
detect out of your radio you are better off switching to simpleUSB.
