Yes, I realized that. I started with a clean bootable Crompton and started pulling stuff over after that. That’s when I realized I had a working repeater with DSP, but all the adjustment and telemetry features were broken.

John, if you copied any binaries from ACID they may not work because they were compiled for x86 architecture not ARM. There could also be deoendencies that you are missing. I would recommend building or installing precompiled packages for the same applications on thr pi and then try to swap out the config files from the pc.

Been a while, but found that radio has PL receive on it.. it’s just not very well implemented. Squelch needs to be up to make it work, but any other signal with any tone or no tone will open the squelch if the mic isn’t bumped first.

Using DSP on Rasberry Pi?

About 4 months ago, I loaded Crompton on my Pi and transferred all the config files over from my ACID box.

I’m responding again because I realized I didn’t respond to the board as well. Thank you Dave. I may need your expertise. My goal is to try again with the Pi, using DSP, without breaking Crompton (or any other distribution, I don’t care which one is used) features. I know DSP can work on a Pi, as I had great success discussed before, but I never could get telemetry and other stuff working as so many things were mismatched.

Jim NH6HI and a couple others run the Hawaiian Mainland Allstarlink Network (here is our website: http://wh6av.org/am2.html) My node is in a Data Center in SFO 28508 and I have simplex node on 220 in Queen creek in a dummy load. I'd be glad to see your system. What is the make and model of the repeater? Are u using a separate controller or are you using the RPI3 as the controller?

I responded to Dave, but not the board, here it is again. The receive radio is a TYT TH-9000. The transmit radio is a Yaesu ft-7800. I found the 9000 has a more sensitive receiver, and the Yaesu has a better transmitter, it doesn't "crackle" During long transmissions like the TYT did. I'm using a standard URI. -----Original Message----- From: David McGough [mailto:kb4fxc@inttek.net] Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 9:51 AM To: John Griffith <jcarl.griffith(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Using DSP on Rasberry Pi?

Problem getting RTCM to process received audio
by Doug Kingston 26 Nov '17

26 Nov '17

I am trying to prototype a RTCM based voting system with 2 RTCMs. I am using two JSLM2 Data Radios as transceivers. Using HP8920B service monitor to drive the radios. Good news: I can get both RTCMs and both radios to transmit. Test tones sound fine. Deviation good. Bad news: I can't get the RTCMs to register the incoming audio signal. There is no CTCSS in these radios, so that line is not connected. I have no COS signal connected either. Just audio in/out and PTT to the radio. I have confirmed the radios are receiving and are sending audio to the RTCMs using an oscilloscope. If anything the audio is way high in level. I measured 1v peak-to-peak when I think the RTCM is expecting 200mV. Tried the 20db pad with no effect. My suspicion is that the RTCM is a high-impedance input so the voltage is floating up in the absence of appropriate load (say from a 600 or 2k ohm). Second, I never get the green receive light on so I suspect there is actually some squelching or some such going on that is gating the audio signal off. Third, I have not been able to the the Squelch calibration or Diode calibration to behave. Does this require the diagnostic cable described in the interface to be used? The procedure is not documented well. I would love to see a know working config and wiring setup to confirm what I have done. -Doug- Current settings: Select the following values to View/Modify: S/W Version: 1.51 08/08/2017 System Uptime: 2095.0 Secs IP Address: 192.168.0.75 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.0.1 Primary DNS: 192.168.0.1 Secondary DNS: 192.168.0.1 DHCP: 1 VOTER Server IP: 104.197.124.184 VOTER Server UDP Port: 667 OUR UDP Port: 667 GPS Lock: 1 Connected: 0 COR: 0 EXT CTCSS IN: 1 PTT: 0 RSSI: 0 Current Samples / Sec.: 8000 Current Peak Audio Level: 112 Squelch Noise Gain Value: 0, Diode Cal.
