App_rpt has a built in "milliwatt" for setting TX level. Setting TX level any other way is less accurate and more difficult. On Wed, Feb 7, 2018 at 2:16 PM, JJC <cummingsj@gmail.com> wrote:
I have never generated a tone using the Pi, always rather a high grade tone generator to set audio levels etc...

My experience with the 1khz tone test Skyler mentions is that it sounds crappy on all flavors of hardware running DIAL/ACID/Limey. Only Hamvoip makes a clean 1khz tone. But, has been said on here many times, it's not open source.

Please realize, I am being fairly picky! Also, please don't mention the HamVoip image, I know they have a precision timer, but it is not open source!
Here is a way to tell for all you out there on a pi,
Hit DTMF *904, and listen to the 1kHz tone. Count how many times it "POPS" or does something other than a pure 1kHz tone over a 30 second period. Report the channel driver you are using.
