Multiple DTFM characters detected from a single key press

John Ross KI5WXB
 

Hey everyone;

I've got a SHARI Pi3U and when I attempt to send DTMF commands from my Yaesu VX-6 ht, the asterisk CLI client shows duplicate DTMF characters received. For example, if I keyup and press "*32000" the CLI client displays:

[Feb? 7 09:53:29] NOTICE[480]: chan_simpleusb.c:2725 simpleusb_read: Got DTMF char *
[Feb? 7 09:53:29] NOTICE[480]: chan_simpleusb.c:2725 simpleusb_read: Got DTMF char *
[Feb? 7 09:53:30] NOTICE[480]: chan_simpleusb.c:2725 simpleusb_read: Got DTMF char 3
[Feb? 7 09:53:30] NOTICE[480]: chan_simpleusb.c:2725 simpleusb_read: Got DTMF char 3
[Feb? 7 09:53:30] NOTICE[480]: chan_simpleusb.c:2725 simpleusb_read: Got DTMF char 2
[Feb? 7 09:53:32] NOTICE[480]: chan_simpleusb.c:2725 simpleusb_read: Got DTMF char 0
[Feb? 7 09:53:32] NOTICE[480]: chan_simpleusb.c:2725 simpleusb_read: Got DTMF char 0
[Feb? 7 09:53:32] NOTICE[480]: chan_simpleusb.c:2725 simpleusb_read: Got DTMF char 0
[Feb? 7 09:53:32] NOTICE[480]: chan_simpleusb.c:2725 simpleusb_read: Got DTMF char 0

As you can see above, the * is duplicated, the 3 is duplicated, and there's an extra 0.

Now prior to this "duplicate DTMF character" issue, the SHARI didn't register any DTMF commands coming from my ht *until* I ran the simpleusb-tune-menu and changed option (2) Set Rx Voice Level to 500 or less. I'm glad to at least see DTMF commands show up in the CLI client, but the duplicate characters are still preventing me from controlling the node from my radio. Note that I can connect and disconnect nodes flawlessly from Supermon; I'm only experience problems from my radio. Any helpful suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

I'm thinking that either the VX-6 keypad is extremely sensitive or you are inadvertently sending tones more than once. The fact that it works well with Supermon shows it's likely a keypad issue. I have sent tones from 3 different Yaesu FT60s without issue.

The problem lies in the radio. I have the same problem with my FT1D

Check your RX level and/or de-emphasis settings in simpleusb. My guess is that something is messed up with one or both of these.

Hi Patrick. I¡¯m continuing to experiment with RX levels and other settings in simple usb. And I have been able to improve things a bit. Thanks for the reply. 73.

It will allow you to see your DTMF levels when setting the RX level in simpleusb.? In addition to setting the correct level, make sure the level is about the same for all the DTMF characters.

Hey Mark;

I¡¯m quickly beginning to suspect that you are right that this may be a radio specific issue with my VX-6 keypad. I¡¯m able to control my node with DTMF tones sent from my FT-60 without any problems. Thanks and 73.

It can happen to any radio. MY oldest FT60 is more than 12y old and in the past few months one of the keys has been acting finnicky. I probably need to pull it apart and do a cleaning. FT60 was well constructed. That older unit has been dropped and bounced around many times and it's still doing very well.
