DRA 36 Sound card


 

I'm testing this soundcard device on my desktop. I planning on putting it on the PI in my car to have the ability to run mostly APRS. However with the ability to run Pat Winlink.?
I can't get this device to PTT. IF it doesn't PTT on a Win OS which I know more than Linux I won't get it to run on the Pi.

Any idea's?if?you got one and to PTT red light to come on when TX. I have got the same playback and record settings as a signalink.

This only works on Linux so it works on Raspberry Pi but is not supported on Windows.
See the Direwolf User Guide section?9.2.8.5 "PTT with C-Media CM108/CM119 GPIO"

It describes how to use a C-Media GPIO pin to control PTT.? No wiring is needed other than the USB connector.? I use this with my DRA-30 card and my Raspberry Pi and it works great.

You must install the optional?libudev-dev then recompile Direwolf.? There are instructions in the User Guide on how to do this.
You change the direwolf.conf file to include?
PTT CM108

On the Window side, Winlink Express through UZ7HO does not work. Yet works with vara fm according to this website?

I'll load up the pi and Setup Dierwolf?

Thank You

Hi Don,

I just set up my home Winlink station to use UZ7HO Soundmodem with a SignaLink running Winlink Express; and also my RMS Packet Gateway with UZ7HO Soundmodem and the RMS Packet software.? They've both been working for a couple weeks now.? I'm running Windows 10 Pro, and just survived a massive update.

Anything I can do to help?
