Stumped: Can't use Dinah with 9600 Baud Pin/Kenwood Radio

Chris Smart All Messages By This Member #339 开云体育 Hi. ? I have a Dinah and a Kenwood TM-V71A. ? I have a couple friends with the same set up who have switched DIN plug pins 4 and 5, and are getting flatter/nicer audio as a result. We all ordered the same adapter cable from Mobilink to do this. ? Two of us are hearing ourselves on Allstar when we transmit into the node radio with an HT. I am not. I have copied all settings: packet sensitivity, SQC, etc. to copy my friend’s, and still nothing. ? I have two TM-V71’s, so I did a full reset on the second one, and copied my friend’s settings for the data port and still, no audio. That rules out a possible problem with one radio’s data port. NOTE: If I crank SimpleUSB menu 2, RX level, all the way up, and turn on RX boost, I can hear myself but very quietly. ? Audio coming the other way, from Allstar is fine. ? What could be the problem? There aren’t many things to adjust here, so I am stumped. ? All suggestions welcome. ? Thanks and 73 ? Chris ?
Steve-N8AR All Messages By This Member #340 Did you verify the cable wiring with an ohmmeter? Did you set the speed to 9600 in the TM-V71's menu 518? Also, you do not need a special cable for DINAH to use 9600.? Just cut the trace between JP1 and JP2.? Short JP3 to JP2 with a solder bridge.

Changing to 9600 only affects the single input pin on the radio, which should be left at 1200 for optimal use. I don't have one of these adapters, but I do have a cable with the same pins 4 and 5 crossed over, and this isn't necessary. I had a cable made to do this specifically so I didn't have to modify the DINAH itself.
