CM108 USB fob no PTT/red LED
I'm running DIAL on a R-Pi2 into a modified USB fob for connection to my repeater. Everything seems to load and be configured fine, but I can't get the fob PTT to trip. I believe the PTT FET is driven from the red LED on the fob (pin13) and I can't get a new unmodded fob to cycle the red LED either. Simpleusb-tune-menu "f" test of PTT and audio shows no LED/PTT activity, but tone is OK. Audio courtesy tones and hang time and receive audio passes the in/out of the fob during COR, just NO keying. Now I did install DIAL on the R-Pi2 without CM108 attached if that was important. Ideas where the config is unright? 73, Duane KA1LM #42996
Duane, The red LED on the sound fob is not PTT. It's mute. You would need to add a LED to the PTT output circuit to get a LED for transmit. 73, Steve N4IRS On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 1:52 PM, DuaneVT . <selkie2@comcast.net> wrote:

See enclosed photo..you will need to cut a trace that angles over to the switch on the side of the board with the Red LED, and drill a hole as shown (1/16"), then solder a piece of wire wrap wire from the trace leading to the angle trace (from LED resistor R10) and connect it via the hole to pin 13 on the CM-108. I've done it several times. I kind of like the red LED when I'm troubleshooting the Pi or the BBB rpt_app setup.
