Re: setting up a digi with tt4 need some config advice


 

Thanks for that, Rob.? Here is what I often tell people about digi setup:

To configure the stationary TT4 as a digipeater,

Connect the TT USB cable to the computer and install drivers if needed
Run a terminal program such as TeraTerm Pro and set it for 19200 baud
Connect the TT USB cable to the TT4 J2 DB-9
When prompted to press ESC 3 times, do it quickly to enter the command menu
Enter the following commands
RESTORE < this puts everything back to DEFAUT >
MYCALL <your callsign>
ALIAS1 WIDE1 (or WIDE2, or WIDE)
and set the audio levels to match your radio (TXLEVEL, TXTWIST, RXA, CALIBRATE, and MONITOR commands, plus the R1 pot.)

If you also want the unit to transmit its location, then set:
TSYMC #
PPER ?3600
LOCATION <your location> (Must match format exactly)
TOSV N
PATH1 WIDE2-2
PATH2 %

To convert your lat/long from decimal degrees like DD.dddddd just use the 2 digits (for the first number, 3 for the second) before the decimal, then multiply the .dddddd by 60, and put that after the DD with 2 digits, decimal, then 4 digits after the decimal.

To use calibrate, enter CALIBRATE and press enter. Use this command to adjust and test the transmit audio levels. While calibrating, PTT is activated and audio tones are sent to the radio. Use the L transmit the low tone, H to transmit the high tone, B to transmit both tones, alternating every 833us, and S to transmit both tones, alternating every 6ms (helpful to adjust twist with a scope). Use 1 & 2 to change overall tone levels, 3 & 4 to adjust twist (high tone vs. low tone), and Q to quit calibration.

I hope that helps.?

I believe this is typically the very first part of TSTAT PHG5360/WIDE because that is appended to the position TX.
?? According to the protocol, TSPEED should be FALSE
?? I am not sure about BText as that typically doesn't include a position report.?
?? This information should be included with a position report.

I'm going to work on it some more when I get home from work today, i'm not planning on having a gps attached to it, its probably left over from when I used to run this in my truck. I'm trying to make it as legitimate and standard as the rest of the Digi's in the area granted it will have a lot less power. So if I'm understanding this right I can put the PHG5360/wide in the tstat and btext fields with the proper identifiers?

Thanks for the help so far!
