My Allstar node had been running perfectly since I set it up a few weeks ago until today. Everything seems to be working properly except I can not hear any audio out.? Any ideas??

Assuming you are using PL, are you sure your RX PL frequency on the radio you are listening to SHARI with has not changed?? Is this radio still in the simpex mode?? Also check the Transmit A level (Item 3 of the SimpleUSB-tune-menu application) to make sure it is where you set it (probably 400 to 500).

Thanks,

I checked the radio for proper frequencies and PL tones. Rebooted server, ran simple sub and reset freq, PL tones, rx and tx output levels. Nothing had changed in either the radio or the node settings. I tried setting up a different radio with correct frequency info.

I can see the node keying and it receives audio and dtfm. It appears everything is working but no audio heard.

Just so everyone has the final answer to my question. Steve (N8AR) spoke with me on the phone and clarified that the node was not transmitting RF or Audio. From that he recommended I check the solder joint at pin 5 on the radio module. Sure enough, the solder was just barely touching the wall of the castellated recess on the module at pin 5. Just moving the module from one side of the room to the other was apparently enough to highlight my poor soldering skills. I re-soldered the connection (and a couple of others that were a little sloppy) and the node is back to working great again.

Thanks Steve.
