Re: IGFILTER in Rx only iGate
开云体育What q-construct are you tagging the APRS packets with? Is it qAR? This would imply to APRS-IS that you are a TX I-gate. If you use qAO instead, this should tell APRS-IS that you are RX-only. Not sure if that would solve the problem. Also not sure if direwolf
APRS-IS client lets you specify the q construct. if not, you can run another client on top of Direwolf modem, eg. APRSIS32. But if the confit option is missing in direwolf APRS-IS client, someone should probably add it.

While I agree with you, we are not given any control over that. While my station is not receive only, the other day there was a short band opening and I
received a single packet from a distant station 400 miles away?via RF,?and for the next three hours I received their once per minute weather station packets. I counted all 180 of them. Seems like a lot of wasted bandwidth. Not to mention it fills?up my logs
with useless data. See if you can spot both problems!

IGFILTER no send ????
IGFILTER -everything ???
There must be a way that I haven't found because I get about 20 messages an hour that it wants to send.

Re: Signalink Raspberry Pi (Jessie) audio setup

开云体育? Per the user guide, you want your average reported report level to be around 50.? You'll see a lot of different levels out there from mistuned packet stations so just try your best.
Direwolf will tell you when the levels are too high. --David KI6ZHD |

Re: Signalink Raspberry Pi (Jessie) audio setup
Hi Dave,
well, putting the J2 jumper in place on the Signalink has boosted the receive audio. I now see Direwolf report audio levels in the 20s (typically) with the RX knob midrange setting, whereas before jumpering, the levels were typically single numers 3-4. Putting aside the fact that ALSA doesn't seem to work with the Signalink on Jessie, how do I know what is an appropriate INPUT audio level for use with Direwolf? How do I know when I am saturing the input level? Do I just use Fldigi waterfall to set it? Is the audio input level independent of the receive application? 73, John, NX2I ? |

Re: Signalink Raspberry Pi (Jessie) audio setup

开云体育Good Morning John.. ? Well, I can't speak specifically to the SIgnalink but some sound card drivers can have different gain levels.? Here is one URL that talks about what might be happening when comparing to Windows: ?? Also, if you're not aware, there is a bug in the Windows USB sound card driver that impacts the Signalink.? It overdrives the levels but you can work around it: ??
Ok.. this is the same way as on my Navigator.? All user controls are via the front facing Signalink knobs, the DATA port level settings on the FT857, etc. --David KI6ZHD |

RPi Direwolf SDR APRS Rx-only Igate VHF+UHF
Jose Ng Lee
开云体育I am running successfully an RPi Direwolf SDR
APRS Rx-only Igate on VHF on 144.390Mhz.
?
If I want to add a second SDR dongle for UHF
on 445.925Mhz. on the the same RPi for Rx-only Igate.
?
How do I set it up on sdr.conf?
?
Or should I run another instance of direwolf with a
different sdr1.conf with CHANNEL 1 to select second dongle and use a different
callsign SSID.
?
rtl_fm -f 445.925M - | direwolf -c sdr1.conf
-r 24000 -D 1 -
?
Has anyone tried that on one RPi Direwolf with two SDR
dongle to receive on VHF an the other one on UHF.

Re: Signalink Raspberry Pi (Jessie) audio setup
David Ranch
开云体育Hello John, ? Agreed!
Well, every OS is different in it's mixer settings.? What radio are you using and how is the Signalink connected to that radio?? I assume the RX knob on the front of the Signalink is turned to 100% volume?
It's been a long time since I've used a Signalink but I have a US Interface Navigator which is somewhat similar in that there isn't a Microphone level set via the electronic mixer.? The capture levels Is all controlled by the front knobs.? With that said, I believe alsamixer will show the microphone.? Try the following: ?? 1. Start up alsamixer ?? 2. Hit the F6 key and select the "CODEC [USB Audio CODEC]" soundcard ?? 3. Hit the F4 key to see the "capture" controls"
If all else fails, you might want to check out the JP2 jumper on the Signalink: ?? --David KI6ZHD |

Signalink Raspberry Pi (Jessie) audio setup
Please excuse me if this topic has been dealt with before, but my quick search did not give me the info I think I need.? I am setting up a RPi 3 -based IGate with a Signalink audio codec. The command lsusb ?shows :?Bus 001 Device 004: ID 08bb:2904 Texas Instruments PCM2904 Audio Codec, and arecord -l gives back :? **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 1: CODEC [USB Audio CODEC], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] ? Subdevices: 1/1 ? Subdevice #0: subdevice #0. OK...so far, so good! When I configure and run direwolf, I see packets being reported typically with audio levels = 2 to 4 ( e.g. 4(2/1). This is quite different from what is reported using the same Signalink and Windows 7 (typically audio level = 50 to 60). What's this mean? Is the Linux report different? I have set the playback (output) level using Alsamixer, but I cannot get alsamixer to show that the record capabilty exists, let alone adjust it, ?even though packets are clearly being received in direwolf. How can I know if the input audio level sensitivity is OK? How do I fix alsamixer? 73, John, NX2I ? |

Re: Periodic audio device statistics
Great news. It's working!
I installed the Gnome Alsa Mixer as suggested by Patrick. I had to check the "Record" box and the audio level jumped up. I adjusted the audio level (was way too high) and it is now decoding. There must be a way to change this setting from the command line? Maybe the documentation should include this. Thanks very much to Patrick and David. I doubt I would have got it going on my own. I've been working on this for weeks, the bulk of the things I've tried (and didn't work) are not in this thread. I'll restate how I corrected the original problem I posted of the Periodic Audio Statistics not showing in the terminal... In my configuration file I had "ADEVICE - plughw:1,0". Once I removed the dash, as suggested by David, the statistics started showing. Also this changed the what Direwolf showed as my device for receive when it is started. Thanks again to everybody for the help. 73, Randy KC0CAU |

Re: Periodic audio device statistics
I loaded the Gnome ALSA mixer on my Pi, as I'm more comfortable with a GUI. Some of the input sliders have a check box marked "Rec." (Record). Perhaps that is cause of your issue. ?

picky about sd cards or not neither of the ones i have ever put out anything on the HDMI port monitor says "no signal"
tried many different power supplies as i had read they were pick about that as well
i had a nifty project in mind that got deployed with just a old tnc doing digi as the snow was getting deeper and site access isnt very easy in the winter

Re: Periodic audio device statistics
David,
Okay. We're not there yet, but we're getting somewhere. ? I removed the dash from the ADEVICE line and now the terminal indicates "Audio device for both receive and transmit: plughw:1,0 ?(channel 0)". I don't know where the dash came from. I thought all I did was remove the pound sign at the beginning of the line. Thanks for that tip. I wouldn't have found that in a million years. ? Removing the dash also allowed the periodic audio statistics to work. I can now see that the audio level coming in to Direwolf always shows zero. I tried various audio levels with the squelch open and also with a capacitor in line. I have an audio isolation transformer I tried in addition. I tried playing the weather channel which also always indicated the audio level at zero. ? Beatiful audio comes from the output port of the sound card. I can adjust the level of the audio using the mixer in Linux. I am using Alsamixer to adjust the level, so that was already in my Pi. There is no feedback in the audio at any level. I don't think the quality of the audio is a concern right now. More the complete lack of it reaching Direwolf. ? I also modified the modem line as you suggested. ? I am running "Raspbian Jessie With Pixel" dated 1/11/2017. It is what is currently on the Raspberry Pi web site. ? I have a degree in electronics and over thirty years professional (and amateur) experience in that area. I designed and built my own 440 repeater controller from scratch using a basic stamp 2 as the microcontroller. I wrote my own code for the stamp. You can get as technical as you like about electronics and radios. ? I would say I am more of a beginner in Linux, though I have worked with it occasionally over the years. ? I have a pretty good parts supply so I can add the LED when I get a few minutes. I don't think that is a big deal if the audio level coming in is zero. ? I had to click view source again to read your post but that's no big deal. I was advised to include my call. You may have already seen it in my configuration file. Randy KC0CAU |

Re: Telemetry error msg
I'm responding to my own post for an update.... This is a portable telemetry system, so ended up getting recommended GPS unit. So, now implement TBEACON with compressed location using COMMENTCMD. Shows up fine in findu.com raw data. I insert that data into my server database event_log table. Looking in?symbol.c I see that Ambulance is the default?symbol with ssid="-1"? and no SYMBOL specified in the beacon config. |
