Missing setting

 

Thanks for all the ideas on my moving to another computer. Got everything moved.
I am using soundmodem by UZ7HO I seem to have that up and running.
?
I must have a setting wrong in APRSISE.
?
I have my map up. I am locating on the map.
But get nothing when I hit "Transmit". I see the red line at the top when I do, but it is not engaging my Azden 7000H via my Signalink USB.
?
What could I have missed? Where should I look to find this issue?
?
Thanks

I assume (maybe bad idea) that the interface is the same as on the old computer and was working.
?? UZ7HO configuration to APRSIS32 - AGW or KISS mode, and related parameters.
If so,I would start with UZ7HO and the SignaLink.? They controls the PTT and audio output.

Are you seeing station from UZ7HO appear (receive working)?
?? That would be another indication the UZ7HO to APRSIS32 connection is working.

If the UZ7HO interface is AGW, you can use something like AGWMonitor to see if the communication between them is working.

Did you install ptt.dll in the same directory as SoundModem? That is needed for PTT. You can download from the same site that you got SoundModem from. Then in SoundModem go to Settings -> Devices -> Select PTT port, then choose CAT and click OK. Then the dialog for configuring the serial port settings will appear.?
?
Once that is done, if you select Calibration -> Both Tones in SoundModem, does the radio switch to TX and produce a signal?

Oh I thought of one other thing... Is KISS Server Port enabled in SoundModem? It's under Settings -> Devices.

The OP stated the device is a TigerTronics? SignaLink USB - it uses a pseudo VOX for PTT.? Nothing to configure - EXCEPT volume output before the external control on the SignaLink.? No CAT or ptt dll required.

If your computer has a volume control for the SignaLink USB,that should be set to max volume (well > 80%), then use the external SignaLink dial to control the actual audio to the radio.? That is what controls the PTT line on the SignalInk to the radio.

Bob--This sound very much like what I encountered when I attempted to get my laptop set up to take to Field Day last year for sending out Winlink messages.? Microsoft Surface Pro, DRA-50 interface, Kenwood TMV-71a.? Used UZ7HO for the software.? I finally did get the computer to transmit but took a bunch of searching to make things happen.? Iscrounged around and found the solution that helped me, but in the meantime what is your "new" computer?? Is it actually new (or newer) or is it a repurposed to your shack?? Think my issue was more with Windows 11.??
?
My post on FB:? ?Trying to get set up for running Winlink at Field Day tomorrow with my Win11 Laptop and a DRA-50. Absolutely cannot get UZ7HO Soundmodem software to key the radio. Have PTT.DLL installed (but soundmodem says not found) and cannot get into the advanced PTT setting on Soundmodem program.

The answer I got (which I copied over and pasted on FB:

Well, on another forum, a gent by the name of Steve M shared this fix. I tried it and it made me good! My thanks to him. How he knows this is beyond me, as I could barely follow his directions, but he did, I did, and it works. Posting it?here in case anyone has to search this out in the future. His suggestion:
Try this:
- Press the `Windows` key and `R` together to open the Run dialog box.
- Type `sysdm.cpl` and press Enter to launch System Properties.
- Move to the **Advanced** tab inside the System Properties window and click on **Settings** under **Performance**.
- Navigate to the **Data Execution Prevention** tab.
- There are 2 choices. The first is "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only". If yours is set to this, there's nothing you can do here to change that soundmodem.exe error.
- The second choice is "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select:" If yours is set to this, you have 2 choices:
1. Leave that setting as-is, then:
- Click **Add..** and then browse to and select `C:\soundmodem\soundmodem.exe` (or wherever you installed `soundmodem.exe` and the `PTT-DLL` files).
- Click **Apply**, then **OK** and **OK** again to close all the dialog boxes.
2. Change the setting to "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only”.
- Restart `soundmodem.exe`. PTT EXT should work now.

I would suggest you proceed with caution cuz I am not a computer guru, record all changes in case of issues.? Wish you luck with your issue.?
?
As a side note, I searched a Q & A forum on UZ7HO website and see that this is a regular problem that folks encounter.? Only problem is there are no answers published on there, as it says the author will respond via email only.? I never did get an email answer.....

I have downloaded the PTT.dll. Where does it go? It is just a zip file with no instructions.
?
Here is something I discovered late last night.
?
In Soundmodem > Calibration
?
When I hit any of the tone buttons, I hear no sound but my signalink activates and keys up my radio.
?
I am using soundcard Speakers (3-usb audio codec) and Microphone (3-usb audio codec)
?
I know this is not the Soundmodem group (there isn't one that I could fine) but I appreciate all the help.

If you hit the calibrate and it keys the radio, check with another radio and see if the tones are going thru. If they are you now need to make the connection between 32 and soundmodem. Possibly a firewall issue.?

The PTT.dll is a WILD GOOSE CHASE!
The SignaLink uses internal VOX control and does not use any external PTT lines at all.?
Best to set soundmodem to VOX so it doesn't try and control the PTT on its own.
Using external PTT lines WILL cause problems.

If your computer's sound settings, set the volume control for 3-USB Audio Codec to a HIGH volume ( > 80%).
Since the radio is going into PTT, this is probably correct.
Then use the external SignaLink TX knob to control the actual audio to the radio.? If that doesn't work, then the jumpers inside the SignaLink are probably not set properly, or there are settings within soundmodem (other than PTT) causing the problem.?

Did your suggestion. Got my HT out and when I was Calibrating I was getting tones through my HT as I hit the different selections on the soundmodem calibrate section.
?
Suggesting firewall.
?
So where should I go to check this? I am running Win11.

I don't have win 11 to tell you exactly but I think a search of setting might help.?
