This is the reason why I started to really want the source to Dougs image:
1. I wanted to apply a couple small customizations to App_rpt.c 2. I wanted a better simpleusb driver for the raspberry pi without the delay. usbradio does not work well as of now on a pi, and simpleusb receiver delay is not constant changes each transmission.
The current DIAL distro does not fix the simpleusb or usbradio problems in the raspberry pi because they don't want to have to duplicate Doug's work. (Yes, you have to be picky like me about audio and timing to tell on some of it)
<-- You're not alone Skyler. Hang tight, I am optimistic that there will be something coming to allow you to use usbradio (with demph / squelched RX audio) as an alternative to simpleusb (and thus eliminate the audio delay), very soon! I've been doing quite a bit of testing between simpleusb and usbradio on DIAL..... and I (personally) find that usbradio sounds better and has more dynamic range (with TX audio) than simpleusb. Some folks will say the opposite... "beauty is in the eye [or ear] of the beholder" ;). Remembering our dear friend, Jim Dixon, WB6NIL, Cheers, Ramesh.
