Re: Digipeater build.... not hearing packets
|
So, at this point I would say we have narrowed this down to 1 of 2 things, and pretty much got it pointing to only one. 1. Sound card - less likely as you appear to be TX'ing okay ??? Assume you are not directly sending to the internet with Direwolf or some other method . ??? Although you keep referring the Windows setup as APRSISce/32 & UZ7HO in an IGATE configuration. ?????? This could mean APRSISce/32 is receiving the packet from UZ7HO 'internally' and sending the packet to APRS-IS. ?????? The actual radio part may not involved - BUT we will assume it is. ??? If (in Direwolf) you have IGLOGIN set, that could be sending your information directly to APRS-IS and it will show on aprs.fi
2. RX Audio levels - most likely ??? Curious if Direwolf decoded anything when you got the "too-high Mic Capture" message? ??? If it did (does), then that confirms this thought. ??? Using Audacity could show the audio levels as well - which will help, so worth the effort ??????? sudo apt install audacity??? Later you can remove it with ??????? sudo apt autoremove audacity ??? But you will probably find it useful.
I'll repeat the key question: ?? Curious if Direwolf decoded anything when you got the "too-high Mic Capture" message?

Thanks, Andrew.? We can look at that if you think'll help.? Is it possible to do on my Windows laptop vs. Libre/Raspberry Pi as I have no idea how to configure the latter.
This does seem to beg the question, though, which I say with great humility since I know the least of anyone on this forum....but, is audio input really the most likely suspect as I've used that same radio, audio cable and sound card on my laptop flawlessly running APRSISCE/32 & UZ7HO in an iGate configuration?? I've shown the audio is getting to the USB sound card....made the alsamixer changes (which, other than a too-high Mic Capture setting, pretty much matched).? If it was an audio issue, I could understand not seeing some packets, but 100% of them?? That's why I wonder if there's anyway it can be a programming issue.? I realize that the Direwolf program has been used by many hams--it's pretty close to plug & play--but is there any chance I fat fingered something?? (Or, flat didn't follow directions?)? Are there likely lines of code that would rule in or out why I'm having this problem?
