Re: [App_rpt] General config questions....try #2
Part 1 of the answer: If you are running this as a standard node, you need to specify an empty function table stanza so that nothing gets decoded. If you are running as a remote base node, then no DTMF functions will be decoded fromt he radio interface. Remote base nodes have .y on the end of them in the node table. This is how app_rpt knows which type of code to run. Part 2 of the answer: chan_usbradio causes DTMF digits to be printed on the console. As far as I know, there's no way to disable this without modifying the channel driver itself, but maybe Steve Henke knows something I don't.

Hi Everyone,
Since I haven't heard any feedback about this post, I guess the answer is "no" to these questions??? ....If so, I think I'll have a go at resolving them.
Thanks!

Original message:
Now that I'm to the "beta" test phase, I've got some more questions that I don't see answers to on the list--or have overlooked (if so, oops!).
First, is there an easy way to disable DTMF decoding entirely for a channel? My HF node (on very staticy 75M) generates a fair number of spurious DTMF decodes. And, each time it thinks it hears a code, there is, as expected, a very short dropout of HF RX audio being passed to the UHF repeater side. I don't need DTMF decode at all for this node and would like to turn it off.
Second, does anyone have (or know of) a simple utility to generate sound files for the CD ID, etc.
Thanks!

Hi, I have already removed the function stanzas and the node config includes a ',y' at the end....But, I still see "Got DTMF char" messages from chan_usbradio in the logs. And, the main thing is there is an associated brief muting of audio when this occurs--which may occur rather frequently, depending on HF noise. As for my second original question about a way to easily make a audio file of the CD ID, I found a way to do this using the "tomorse" freeware software. If anyone is interested, I'll post how I went about it. Thanks, David KB4FXC On Fri, 25 Jul 2008, Jim Duuuude wrote:

Hi Jim, Upon more review, I decided to add a patch to try to completely turn off DTMF decode, if desired. So, I added some test code to the chan_usbaudio.c file and a new boolean parameter "dtmf_decode" to the usbradio.conf file. With dtmf_decode=0, the audio dropout issue is completely resolved! Now, the staticy HF audio sounds GREAT (to me, at least!). No more choppiness... I'll be glad to post the patch if you all would like to take a look? It doesn't seem to break anything (so far....). Thanks for your help! 73, David KB4FXC On Fri, 25 Jul 2008, David McGough wrote:
