chan_simpleusb is basically a 'gutted' version of chan_usbradio. It has no DSP functionality whatsoever. It is designed for radios that provide COR and/or CTCSS detection signals, and will run FAR more efficiently allowing for use on MUCH slower CPUs.

Can it be used on a slower PC to improve performance? I'm running 2 CM108 fobs here on a P3/866 MHz with 512MB ram. This was my old EchoIRLP node PC, and it seems to work ok for Allstar, but I realize that it's below the recommended CPU speed for a USB fob node. My node radios have PL encode/decode in hardware, etc, so would I lose any functionality by switching to chan_simpleusb? Thanks.73 Kyle K0KN --- Original Message ---Yes, it works quite beautifuly with the URI, in fact it will support 2 of them *BUT* only with chan_simpleusb. The CPU does not have the horsepower to do the DSP routines used in chan_usbradio. Why dont you wait for the LOX board to become available in production? It wont be long.
