[App_rpt-users] Assistance with Radio Operation

[Mike]

Well, I did copy the message since you are replying to the group.

I did not think I could help with a proprietary interface but I did not 
want to say that because, as I have found, there are some that provide 
some level of support that is not part of our group here for interfaces 
they make. But I can not remember any by name. So you are not the first 
to look for support of others devices and most are not going to work 
with ASL.

So, I would say, go to the wiki for instruction and use a cm108 dongle 
as david showed. Not as many options with a Pi.

My simple_tune_usb49155 is the closest I have to a file with my node number in it and it is empty. Simples.conf has info in it. Should I adjust the statement to point to it? I suppose I can comment out the current statement and make a new one.

>>> The radio is a Ten Ten Patriot usb transceiver I am using for testing. It connects with a Ten Ten USB sound card and has leads for ground, mic, audio out and PTT. I plan to later connect a Yeasu FTM100DR which I hope to operate remotely.
