Good Morning! I swapped PCs yesterday on my repeater, and now a big problem. Please, I need some help from DIAL Wizards. The critical problem is the RX audio does not get transmitted, but all other audio paths seem to work. Additional information ... 1. iaxRpt connects normally, and plays at normal level audio from the RX, also transmitting from iaxRpt goes to the TX at a normal level 2. Links to other repeaters, no problem to hear distant audio, but RX audio is not sent to the distant repeater (but goes out on other IAX links) 3. Playing audio files from app-rpt are heard on the transmitter at normal levels. Configuration ... i) RX is discriminator audio to URI, no COS/COR/PL signaling ii) TX is voice audio and a separate PL audio mixed in the radio. Process ... A. I took a second PC and loaded DIAL. B. I updated files in /etc/asterisk C. usbradio_tune_usb42316.conf and patched in the new devstr, but left all the levels the same D. usbradio_tune_usb42316.conf ... I noted the new "fever=1" (and have tried it at values 0 and 1) but have found no documentation for fever. E. I swapped the new PC for the old PC ... same URI, Ethernet, etc. ... It worked, but I missed the RX to TX loss problem during the install. F. Note, when you unkey the courtesy tone, tail messages, etc. play Thinking ... a. It is like the DSP PL is not working but I am using the same config I did under ACID b. Setting rxctcssoverride = 1 does not change the operation. ANY information about necessary changes between ACID and DIAL, or just proper DIAL operation appreciated. I would hate to have to reinstall the ACID based PC. ...STeve - KF5VH
Did you run radio-tune-menu? disable ctcss decode and try as carrier only. On 10/08/2016 08:39 AM, Steve Mahler wrote:

If you transferred files over from and Acid install did you enable USBRadio and disable Simplusb in module .conf? And if that was taken care of, do you have your ctcss tones commented out but Ctcss from set to dsp in USB Radio.conf? What is your squelch setting at??

STeve, FEVER fixes a bug in the receiver frontend FIR code where the history buffer is shifted to add a new sample. Because FEVER *could* change audio levels for folks that may have precisely adjusted them (in ACID), FEVER is only turned on IF you do a "radio tune rxnoise" re-calibration. FEVER was instated in ACID in January 2015, and therefore ported to DIAL by default. As far as I'm aware, every install of DIAL incorporates FEVER, and as long as you do a radio calibration, it eliminates this issue. FEVER stands for Front End VERsion, and is the work of Jim Dixon - WB6NIL, where he incorporates the bug fix provided by Jeff DePolo - WN3A. Jim made it so that the "tune" file for the chan_usbradio channel saves a "front-end version" and now, if you do the "front end tuning" using the "radio tune rxnoise" command, it will set the mode for the new fixed version, and save it that way. In other words, any new installations (since January 2015) will auto-magically be running the new, fixed version, and any old installations will not be effected unless they re-do the tuning, in which case it is likely to sound better. Hope this helps... Kevin - W3KKC
Kevin / Steve / RED : Thanks for the suggestions. After checking all of your suggestions without success I convinced myself that I must have missed something in checking the config files for correct variable values. The config files were correct ... except for "duplex" ... which was set for half instead of full duplex. Sigh. (I sure hope confession really is good for the soul.) ...STeve - KF5VH On 10/8/2016 7:43 PM, Kevin Custer wrote:
