Low audio output from WSJT-X into G90 through DigiRig

sergio ruiz All Messages By This Member #12668 Edited The title may be misleading, but this is where I am with this right now. ? It all started when I decided to set up HF packet via DireWolf last week. Everything was working fine, but I started having trouble staying connected to remote stations. ? As part of an article on setting up a BBS on HF Packet, one of the suggestions I read was to delete the PulseAudio system completely. I did so. Immediately after, I had very low audio output from WSJT-X into the rig. I had the power set to 10W, but I was only hitting the radio with enough audio to transmit one watt. The ALC was at 100% no matter what I tried. Using alsamixer, I could get the output down to zero by moving the slider to 0 or muting the speaker. ? I reinstalled PulseAdudio, but still had the same issues. ? This installation was initially a Build-A-Pi installation, but I decided I would start from scratch, but rather than use build-a-pi, I would do a minimal install. I would install only FLRig and WSJT-X. I also thought my cheap USB soundcard might be the culprit, so I ordered a DigiRig. ? I also read that there was an issue with the G90 itself, and the updated firmware has new modes available (U-D mode, USB digital). So, I updated the firmware on the G90 to the latest on the front and back ends. ? So now, I have the following: A minimal installation of the OS WSJT-X installled. It is receiving and decoding perfectly, but will only transmit a low audio level signal. Digirig replacing the old USB soundcard FLRig installed. It controls the radio just fine. ? And I have the same issue I started with. ? Is there something I missed??

sergio ruiz All Messages By This Member #12670 开云体育 OH! i should have mentioned this.. but yes..? I usually ride it around 75% to get a signal with full power and about 98% ALC.. The weird thing is that this is running maybe a watt, and no matter where you put the slider, it’s at 100% ALC.. BUT.. the signal will got to zero as you pull it down.. thanks for checking in!

One thing to check might be ensuring that you are in U-D mode rather than USB, or L-D rather than LSB - hopefully obvious, but I often find that it helps to check the obvious, as something that is can be missed for that very reason. In the older firmware builds, one swapped between mic input and line input; in the latest, USB is microphone and U-D is line input (and similarly for LSB). I've had that one myself more than once, trying to figure out why I'm not getting any output, and then realising that I'm in the wrong mode. Hope this helps. 73 Phil 2E0HGU
sergio ruiz All Messages By This Member #12675 开云体育 Thanks, Phil.. When I first ran across this problem, I didn’t have the latest firmware. I was running a very old version that didn’t even have the digital modes. In the process of addressing the problem, I updated the firmware to the latest versions. I am keeping the radio at U-D, but curiously, FLRig doesn’t show the new modes as options. Let me try running WSJT-X without FLRig running, and see if that changes anything. Thanks!

sergio ruiz All Messages By This Member #12677 I figured out the issue, and wanted to put it in here for other people who might run into this. It turns out that there is a known issue with the G90 that it stop transmitting every now and then, and you have to give it a whack by the antenna connector (like, physically mack it), and it will start working again. I reluctantly tried it, and it started working for about an hour. another whack got it working for another hour. I am gonna put it on the bench this weekend and see if I can suss out what is going on. I think It's been too long for this to be covered by warranty, but I'll check. Thanks for all your suggestions, everyone!
