</font></div><div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Just to to let you know, I found the sound on chan_usbradio with a CM108 usb fob was distorted for about 20% of the time when I did the *99 test tone on the PI.</span></div>
<div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">It could be acceptable on voice but I didn't test it any further.</span></div><div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</span></div><div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"> I then tried to use chan_alsaradio but I think the CPU overhead was too high due to the downsampling from 44.1hz (?) to 8Khz.</span></div>
<div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I have ordered a Griffin iMIC2 usb sound card which has hardware 8Khz sampling built in to see if it will work OK on the PI.( still waiting for it) </span></div>
<div style><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">If it does then it will mean that we will have to use the PI GPIO's for PTT and COR etc but that shouldn't be to hard.....(hopefully :-) )</span></div>
