Hello Everyone, I am wondering if anyone on the list has successfully integrated a Syntor X with an Xcat to app_rpt? I have 2m and a 10m/6m flavor. Would the 10m/6m have trouble? Monty
Yes! Here's the applicable settings from the rpt.conf node stanza: [your node number] rxchannel = Simpleusb/usb ; Rx audio/signalling channel remote = xcat civaddr = 32 functions = functions-remote ;lconn = PP3=1 ;ldisc = PP3=0 memory = memory ; Section to hold memory entries (optional) ; remote=ft897 for Yaesu FT-897 or ; remote=rbi for Doug Hall RBI1 ; remote=kenwood for Kenwood mobiles such as the TMG707A ; remote=ic706 for the Icom IC-706 ioport = /dev/ttyS0 ; Specify port for serial port (optional) iospeed = 19200 dusbabek = yes ; either you need it or you don't ;iobase = 0x378 ; Specify IO port for parallel port (optional) authlevel = 2 ; Remote base authentication level ;; authlevel = 0 : Anyone can use it ;; authlevel = 1 : Requires log in, Waits for Tx key to ask for it ;; authlevel = 2 : Requires log in, asks for it automously ;mars = 0 ; set=1 for IC-706 w/MARS mods (optional) remote_inact_timeout=0 ; Inactivity timer for remote base nodes only (set to 0 to disable). remote_timeout=5400 ; Session time out for remote base.

Female voice is too loud on the system. Sometimes she overides the PL tone and causes clipping. Is there a way to turn her down? OR even a way to adjust the audio perimiters? Running simpleusb setup. GM300. DMK.URI No radio tune menu so I can't adjust the audio in simpleusb mode. When running radio-tune-menu Error parsing device parameters Tried copying txmixaset=500 perimeter into the simpleusb.conf and no changes. Tried changing to lower value no change. CLI error on simpleusb_tune_usb27978.conf cp simpleusb.conf simpleusb_tune_usb27987.conf and no changes doubled checked the txmixaset=500 and added that again with no change. Running outa ideas.

Are you running your TX audio to the flat input or mic input? If you are running the mic input and not relying on the PL encoder on the radio and trying to send PL into the radio via mic, this will cause problems. Be sure to use the flat TX input.. If not, then change the radio to encode PL and turn the PL off on the URI side.

Yes I am running Flat TX (Pin5) The Radio is doing all the ENC/DEC Running simpleusb.conf so there are no extra settings for PL. I am downloading from the web my conf files. And I think I may have a bad profile on the web so will be looking into the conf files from the machine now. I talked to Bob (W5EVH) and my audio got crummy after 10 mins of talking. So we are thinking its a bad Motorola or a flaky one. Tried Tim's recommendation and simpleusb-tune-menu seems to have fixed her! Thanks guys. ________________________________ From: Lu Vencl <vencl@att.net> To: 'app_rpt list' <app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org> Sent: Saturday, October 29, 2011 5:11 AM Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Female Voice too loud Are you running your TX audio to the flat input or mic input?

Isn't simpleusb for use with processed audio, not flat. Otherwise you'd be sending other nodes your flat, i.e. non-de-emphasized audio. I would think the female voice would be somewhat muddy sounding as it is not being pre-emhasized by the radio. Probably also throwing off your levels as well.

You are correct Steve. I tried both and got the results you expected. Muddy audio when I was on Flat. But I changed the jumper in the radio back from Flat and it cleared the audio back up. It didn't throw the audios but here is what I think happened. During the initial install I setup from the web my conf files. And downloaded to machine when prompted. Setup radio according to Allstar FAQ for de-emp audio on a moto. Built the machine with usbradio.conf. I had really LOW audio and went in and cranked up the levels using tune-radio-menu. Got it working. Then when I listened to the audio from the other end it had a stutter problem. It would start stuttering and then clear up. But the audio levels were low. Went back to the web after asking a few about what I was experiencing and was told to use simpleusb.conf. This cleared up my audio dramtically. BUT, she was too loud and over driving my radio now. No processing being done like usbradio.conf does. running tune-radio-menu gave me errors and I was not able to adjust them anymore. Somehow missed in the manual that told me that I needed to run the simpleusb-tune-menu to adjust the audio. Now that Tim shared the missed command, I can now setup the audio levels of the sound card. So far so peachy... Except my Chinese radio and its DTMF isn't so good. and tends to drop the COS on the link radio. Thanks for the help. I knew to use de-emp audio but tried FLAT just in case to eliminate anything I was missing. When posted I was just trying to get the levels down and fix the audio later as I knew that part was in the radio. ________________________________ From: Steve Passmore <k6kya@hokeynet.net> To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Sent: Saturday, October 29, 2011 6:18 PM Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Female Voice too loud Isn't simpleusb for use with processed audio, not flat.
