Re: DINAH connect to Baofeng?

Hi!
DINAH is a mini-sized URI that features a 6-pin DIN port. The modless connection circuit for Baofeng radio is a good option too. The two combined should work perfectly. Just make sure the PTT and COS wires as well as the audio wires are correct. It takes some soldering work and basic knowledge of electronics. Good luck! |

Re: DINAH on Raspberry pi zero w
DireWolf runs fine on a PiZero,?I have been testing this for about 9 months.? However, it takes up a large part of the CPU power at 1200 baud.? It does not have enough cpu power for 9600 baud.
The HamVOIP Allstar image requires a PiZero 2W according to David, KB4FXC (added by N8AR) On Tue, Jul 5, 2022 at 10:36 PM Darin <darinng7o@...> wrote:

Re: DINAH on Raspberry pi zero w
开云体育There is nothing inherent about the DINAH itself that precludes
you from using it on a Zero w. It's all down to what software you
want to use on that board. HamVoIP is out of the question, since
it isn't compiled for the older ARM instruction set. ASL 1.01 will
run, but you might as well not bother, the performance is so bad.
Other things, like Direwolf, probably work better. You get more
options with the Zero 2 W.

DINAH ICOM-IC7100 Lessons Learnt
First of my thanks to Steve-N8AR in taking the time to call me to get my Dinah working. My symptoms were flaky COS status detection and no transmit of any kind from the linked radio. I want to document my learnings here so that others who run into this can solve it.
The correct setting for COS on this radio is USBINVERT.? In addition,? 1. Ensure that the RF/SQL knob is centered before attempting any COS status checks. Sometimes software like FLRIG can adjust these settings, but the physical button will not reflect it. So manually move the RF/SQL turn the knob back and forth to the center position to ensure that it is correct. 2. Set the radio mode to FM-Data. Without this, my Raspberry pi was receiving transmissions from my HT via the ICOM (when I was doing the RX level tests) , but no audio in the other direction.? KE8UEX |

DINAH versus WX3in1 miniDIN connector wiring
I have been asked if a cable designed for connecting a WX3in1 (6 pin miniDIN) to an Alinco radio packet connector (9 pin dsub DE9) will work with DINAH (6 pin miniDIN)? I have done sone research and discovered that the 6 pin miniDIN wiring? is different.
Here is how the 6 pin miniDIN connector is wired on DINAH (per the Japanese "standard" for a??typical radio): Here is the WX3in1 6 pin miniDIN connector wiring: Steve - N8AR |

Re: TH-F6A
开云体育G’day Darin,
?
You might want to check if the mini din on the Microsat site has the same
pin I/O as Dinah.
?
I seem to recall that there may be a difference, perhaps the WX3in1 Plus
2.0 docs will reveal the answer?
?
Regards,

anyone successfully connected a Kenwood TH-F6A to a DINAH? I found this cable
& I'm hopeful it will work. Thanks! |

Re: TH-F6A
开云体育In what context would you want? to use a TH-F6A with a DINAH? I don't know how you would get COS from the radio without modifying it. If you don't need COS, though... I haven't tried that cable, but I have used a TH-F6A with a modified CM-108 to grab baseband audio, and to transmit through the radio. If you want to use it with HamVoIP/Allstarlink as a node, that wouldn't work so well unless you use the somewhat flaky usbradio driver and software CTCSS detection.

Re: Sqelch Open attached to VOLUME DOWN in Schematic
开云体育Ok, so if we updated AllStar to take a configuration for COS, we could update DINAH to have a jumper to select COS to a GPIO, and you could do both!? No need to change the defaults for anything, but one could enable configuration (jumpers and/or software settings) to enable both. ? Thanks for the info, that was just what I was looking for.?

Re: Sqelch Open attached to VOLUME DOWN in Schematic
开云体育I don’t understand. Looking at the schematic for DINAH, VOLDN isn’t connected to PTT, it is connected to COS.? ??PTT is connected to GPIO3 (PIN 13).? It is COS that is connected to VOLDN.? Please correct me if I’m wrong.? But based on the schematic here: ? it is the COS that is triggering volume down on Windows. ? But it sound like if we can get some of these software packages to support configuration for COS we could at least provide jumper configuration for DINAH to get it off using COS on VOLDN. ???????????????????????? I’ll have a look at ASL/HamVoIP’s SimpleUSB.? ?Do you know where the source is at so I can have a look at what it would take to make it configurable? ? ?

That's the only properly supported way Allstarlink/HamVoIP's SimpleUSB driver does PTT. The DINAH and other interfaces like it just converts that to essentially a continuous volume down press. I understand Direwolf has a configuration option to support this method of PTT as well, though it didn't used to. Even echolink on Windows now supports this keying method, I believe, with URI support, though I don't know how it gets around turning the output volume down at the same time if it does. You can use an unmodified fob from a MPOW 071 USB headset on Linux with ASL/HamVoIP's SimpleUSB as a radio-less node configuration to test this. Volume down is momentary PTT. ?

Re: Sqelch Open attached to VOLUME DOWN in Schematic
开云体育As I suspected.? I know where the source for DireWolf is at (Github) so I can go confirm that. Sounds like ASL/HamVoip may be the source of the desire for this configuration. ?I’ll have to see if I can find the source for that. ? Alan N7JTI ?

So I'm hitting the standard problem in Windows that Pin6 of the DIN is connected to the VOLDN pin on the CM119B in DINAH. This results in the volume being turned down every time the squelch opens on the radio.?? ?
