Hello Michael,
First, the audio interface. This is a no budget setup
so something like Signalink is out of the question. I've got a
couple cheap USB audio interfaces that have mic in and speaker out
jacks. Will those work with direwolf?
Can you give us some details of these "cheap devices"?? If they are
what I think they are, they are CM108-based sound devices and should
work for audio AND PTT with the addition of a few simple electronic
components and some soldering.
Second is PTT. The Quadra has no I/O pins or serial
port to trigger the PTT. The radio does not have VOX, which I
would not use anyway.
Can you tell us which radio you're planning on using??
Next, is direwolf usable with other digital modes than
packet/APRS, like fldigi or WSJT-X?
Direwolf only does AX.25 packet radio, AIS reception, and some DTMF
stuff.? Fldigi, WSJT-X, etc are all entirely different programs
supporting very different digital? modes.
