Re: #sbitx a software update to fix the spikes

Farhan,
I believe that the "fixed" traces are the same.? I take your word that the tx stop is fixed as well.? I would be curious to see what the tx stop trace looks like.

Peeps,
We have seen reports from many users about the blowing up of the PA
transistors. There were hardware reasons for this to happen (like
improper heatsink mounting) these have been fixed through

Re: Clock drift between wm8731 and aloop in sBitx
Rafael,
A slightly unwieldy solution is to use IAX2 protocol that can be written in
less than 100 lines of code and run an instance of Asterisk to provide all
kinds of gateways. One could even stream

Re: Clock drift between wm8731 and aloop in sBitx
Hi Ashhar,
I like this idea. I think we could have both an optimized low latency kernel / alsa setup, and built on top of it, an RTP media gateway. It might be needed a samplerate converter (SRC is

Re: Clock drift between wm8731 and aloop in sBitx

As you have better linux audio chops than I do, here is my plan to clean
all this up:
1. The sbitx core will transmit RTP audio data, either PCM or Opus to a
multicast address within the

Clock drift between wm8731 and aloop in sBitx
After some outstanding drifts and latency on the sBitx, I realized the audio dsp and the alsa aloop were not locked. We need to use "timer_source=" parameter for the snd_aloop module to indicate the

Yes, accuracy should be consistent across the bands assuming that you calibrated on one of the higher bands.? The error is multiplied as you go up in frequency.? The worst case would be to

You can then re-use these values in whether firmware you like.

Since all three clocks are changed when you do the calibration, adjusting to the first clock output does not ensure that the rig is calibrated (as your experience shows).? The other two can
