Hi Steve,

The FT-857D is setup for 1200 bps packet. ?I use the same radio with a kantronics KPC3+ using the 6-pin DIN connector.

BTW, the DIN cable supplied with DINAH has a connector mold that does not allow complete insertion into the FT-857D DIN connector. ?The rectangular top edge buts up against the edge of the FT-857D case and the protrusion between the DIN and CAT connector, but I do not believe that is the issue. ?Once I solve this issue, I will procure a DIN-to-DIN cable that has round connector overmold in case I take the FT-857D portable. ?It is my main field radio and I want to ensure I get full insertion of the connector.

I will keep experimenting. ?I am certain this is operator error.

Hi Chuck,

Good to hear my RX level setup process worked for you.

You need to set the FT-857D for packet operation to use it as the node radio.? Look at pages 65 and 66 of the manual.

Hi Steve,

Following your document, I have been able to get reliable decodes from an ID51Plus and the FT1XDR.? Additionally, I can get reliable decodes from my FT-857D when my Icom IC-7100 is the node radio.

If I attempt to make my FT-857D the node radio, no decodes are happening at all.? With the FT-857D as the node radio, the callsign and IP address are announced from the radio at asterisk startup, so I know transmit occurs.? However, on receive I can see the S meter on the FT-857D indicate S9+, but I do not get any decodes nor is the courtesy tone transmitted.

I will play around some more before I try to make connections to other nodes and ensuring audio quality is good.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.? As a newbie to asterisk, I had no clue what the issue may be.

Thank you Steve.

I will give this a try.

Hi Chuck,

I have uploaded a short document to the files section describing the method I use to set the RX level in HamVOIP Allstar to optimize DTMF decoding.? Also, for DINAH, be sure that de-emphasis is turned off and that the plfilter is set to "yes".

Hi.?

This question may actually be for the Allstar community, but thought I would ask here first.

I recently received a DINAH and have installed Asterisk.? The DINAH is connected to an ICOM IC-7100 and appears to be working.? I had planned to use a Yaesu FT1XDR as the HT for communicating with the node as it has a front panel keypad for sending DTMF easily.? For some reason, I cannot reliably decode DTMF commands using the FT1.? When I try using an Icom ID-51PLUS2, the received DTMF is decoded flawlessly.? I have tried to replicate the DTMF transmission settings of the two radios and no matter what, the only reliable character decoded by the node is an '8'.? '*' and '#' is intermittent decode along with all other characters.

Is there a method of 'optimizing' DTMF decoding within asterisk?? Who knows, maybe this is a Yaesu to Icom thing.? If this doesn't work, I pull by FT-857D from the car and try it just to see if the issue is the radio connected to DINAH or something else.

Thanks,

Chuck, K6CES

I worked with Les via a phone call to get his DINAH working.? He had a couple settings wrong.? I will be rewriting the DINAH setup procedure in the near future to make it more like the SHARI setup procedure which has more pictures in it.? Also I will include the COS LED setup as part of the procedure instead of a separate document.
