Group, is anyone using a Signal Link USB with a PILINBPQ setup? I have tried some pre-made port configs, non seemed to work.?

Thanks for the help..

I have, but I took my station down recently due to moving QTH, and am not sure when it will be back online. In other words: I don’t have the config handy to share.

At a high level however, the important thing to understand with SignaLink USB with PILINBPQ is that you’re configuring Direwolf (or other soundmodem) for VOX, and you need to make sure that you get your audio levels set high enough to trigger the SignaLink, but not so high that you’re splattering. You probably will need to run something like “alsamixer” (command line audio level configuration “GUI”), and tweak the knobs on the SignaLink USB to get the right TX and RX audio. The Delay knob on the SignaLink USB should probably be cranked all the way to the left (no delay).

I hope this helps.

Which modem are you trying to use with the Signallink?

I'm not at home right now so I can't access my configuration, but the other thing needed to make it work right is to set the delay pot as low as possible.? If the delay is up to high you will transmit okay but your radio will still be transmitting when the answering station responds.? If you have CAT control another solution is to remove the PTT jumper in the Signalink and use CAT for PTT.

A normal UZ7HO port definition is

PORT
?ID=UZ7HO
?DRIVER=UZ7HO
?CHANNEL=A
?INTERLOCK=4
?PACLEN=100
?CONFIG
? ADDR 127.0.0.1 8000
? MAXSESSIONS=5
? UPDATEMAP

ENDPORT

How are you running UZ7HO Soundmodem on a Pi? Or are you running my QtSoundModem?

If you are running Soundmodem on a separate Windows machine, the ADDR line should have the IP address of the Windows machine in place of 127.0.0.1

Make sure that the AGWPE interface is enabled in the Soundmodem Devices menu, with the same port number as in the ADDR line.
