I run nodes 2498 and 27333 details as follows
Node: 2498 is off an Alinco DR135MKIII and the radio is in
9600 Baud so audio is from discriminator and modulator. This works great and
the settings are:
[usb]
; name=usb
; devicenum=2
devstr=2-1
rxmixerset=875
txmixaset=500
txmixbset=500
rxvoiceadj=0.764955
rxctcssadj=0.500000
txctcssadj=50
rxsquelchadj=500
The second node off the same PC node 27333 is off a Yaesu
VX2000 and set up as above to feed flat audio in/ out. The settings have been
changed but at best the audio out is so low only if I have the volume on my receiver
at 90% I can hear the stations Settings are:
[usb1]
; name=usb1
; devicenum=1
devstr=3-2
rxmixerset=400
txmixaset=600
txmixbset=600
rxvoiceadj=1.549599
rxctcssadj=0.506345
txctcssadj=50
rxsquelchadj=750
I have changed the rxmixerset=600 up to 900 with no great
increase.
