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.
