Hello Bill,
With this being the issue, it be helpful to know what you are using for a repeater.

It depends on the M.2 'HAT'. It depends on the 'HAT' interface.
The RPi4 can and does use M.2. The RPi4 Argon case, for example,
uses a USB M.2 board but you are correct that only the RPi5 has the
PCIe access. The RPi3 can also use USB M.2.

Re: Repeater controller decode packet radio on repeater input?
Hi Tadd,
Ok, I understand.? Adding a wart on the side of the existing controller might cause more trouble than its worth.? We already had the Raspberry Pi in place, and an easy spot to tap into the receive audio.? Because we use PL decoding in the Arcom controller, the receiver itself runs with the squelch open.? That means that we have no issue with the un-squelch delay clipping the front end off the packet, something that makes decoding the packets problematic.? It's something to consider.? But adding that Raspberry Pi for Echolink / AllStar support was an interesting exercise in itself, with challenges in breaking ground loops and various sources of some pretty nasty audio hum.? We also considered tapping into the RF coming into the receiver (between the receiver and the cans) and using Direwolf with an SDR dongle, but this was easier.? Perhaps the RF-tap / SDR approach might work better for you, though you'd still need a computer of some sort.
Good luck!? And Yaesu, if you're listening, please fix your user interface on these rigs!

Ah, yes.? We have had the same problem!? I bet every one of those
radios is a recent Yaesu model - their UI is really easy to mess
this up without knowing it.
What we did was to add a USB sound dongle to one of the Raspberry Pi
computers that host our Echolink / AllStar link network interfaces.?
The repeater is a Yaesu DR-2X to which we have added a Arcom
controller for overall management.? The repeater receive audio is
tapped into and passed to the audio dongle through a DC blocking
capacitor; Direwolf watches the signal, decoding what it can.? Its
output is appended to a log file, which the control operators can
read via a remote console over the Internet.? We chose not to
broadcast the miscreant's call sign over the air, to be sure we have
a human in the loop.
One thing we had to wrestle with was that the Raspberry Pi was
crossing the audio streams as soon as Direwolf was started.? Some
research suggested it was a known problem with the Pi-4B version
that we had, though I still can't fathom how that would occur.?
Regardless of the cause, we simply configured Direwolf to not open
the transmit side (used "null" as the Tx device instead of letting
Direwolf open the dongle for both Rx and Tx), and that fixed it.?
Direwolf is started as a "Service" when the Pi is booted.
Hope this helps!

It has nothing to do with the repeater, (which is an MTR-2000).
In testing the software we found that the GPIO output that controls the PTT line never unkeys if the COS signal is held active longer than the set timeout period.
Everything else seems to works as it should.
Thanks, I'll check out that SXVLINK group.
