Scott,
I have gotten SoundModem working flawlessly for several YCARES gateways I switched from hardware packet TNCs to using DRA's or SignaLinks where I new I need to use a program that only supported VOX.? I've also converted several dual mode installations to use SoundModem that I had originally used DireWolf and I have built several YCARES Digital Go-Kits to use SoundModem, relying on previous recommendations I've seen from you.? Up until now I've had no issues, but for some reason, I couldn't get this particular installation to work.? The DireWolf install was a Hail Mary attempt to get Packet working on this installation.? ?I was on a dead line to have it working an placed before the next YCARES Drill since it worked I left it alone.
?
Fast forward several months.? ?That system has not yet been placed in its targeted location due to water damage that occurred at it target location just before it was to installed.? ?So, after seeing your PTT.dll comment, and since I still have easy physical access, I got into its PC to see if somehow I had overlooked the PTT.dll.? I hadn't, it was there. I then tried switching back to SoundModem.? No joy still no PTT.? ?I even checked for a rogue directory of SoundModem just incase I had it in two locations and was starting a different SoundModem than the one that had the PTT.dll.? ?I've been using the system for most of the YCARES Winlink Net and have found it to be reliable.? I often use Packet days I suspect little or no messages will be downloaded as there is a measurably shorter time for the Winlink Packet Session when there is nothing to send or deliver than with VARA FM.??
