Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help

Are you saying that Direwolf keys up SCU-17 and it's "FSK" indicator lights up but Direwolf stays playing audio (AFSK modem tones), the SCU-17's turns off the FSK light and then turns on the PTT light?? If so, that does NOT sound right at all.? If you would, please try Direwolf v1.6.?? I would expect Direwolf v1.7* as very stable now but it's NOT released code and it's still undergoing change.

Yes... I think, if I understand the question correctly.

Let me elaborate...

The SCU hase 3 LED indicator lights, FSK, PTT and Power...

Direwolf not running, FSK off, PTT off, Power on

Direwolf running, FSK on, PTT off, Power on

YAAC sends message, Direwolf triggers PTT then, FSK off, PTT on, Power on

Direwolf drops PTT, FSK on, PTT off, Power on

Exit Direwolf application, FSK off, PTT off, Power on

The vew fellow HAMs who have had issue have been either using unusual sound devices, using unusual isolation devices, etc.? Direwolf can be made to work with any of them but you have to determine what the right signal is for each of them.? In your circumstance, the SCU-17 documentation is non-existent which makes it extra hard.
--

The only documentation I know of for the SCU-17 is this...

But yea, they don't break things down all the way.

--
Of course the choice is yours but I can nearly guarantee you that Direwolf will out perform *any* hardware TNC you buy.? TNCs like a KPC3+ or PK96 can come close but most of the PIC/Arduino based units will have significantly poor decode rates.
--

Oh, I agree for sure! The CPU in the machine is by far more powerful than any TNC and would for sure have better error correcting!
I'm just getting frustrated, I've spent many hours working on this one issue and when I can open another app like FLDigi or WSJTX and make it work perfecting the first time it only adds to the frustration.

--
Well.. I hear the frustration here but Direwolf has recommend hardware mentioned in the User Guide but you're not using that.? You also were doing a lot of testing and you might have actually missed the test that either "-DTR RTS" or "-DTR RTS" was actually working for you (ignore whatever the LED lights are as there is no FSK signal here in AFSK1200 packet).? FSK from an SCU-17 perspective is used for things like "real" RTTY or CW on HF radios.
--

You're right, I very likely missed that with the FSK light on it wasn't keying. I am by no means perfect or infallible so therefor I do make mistake and I'll own.
For instance I didn't know there was recommended hardware. I perused through the guide but I can't say I read it all. I read some parts more than others.
As for FSK, no, I really had NO idea what is was used for. I can say in the past week or so I've learned some things I didn't know before

As for rolling back to 1.6 it seems I've run into a issue compiling it. I get the following.....

I know this message was very long, sorry about that, just trying to be thorough.
