Well dad gum, I could have SWORE for the life of me I tried that

I swapped RTS and DTR back and fourth and they both worked though it is triggering FKS and PTT at the same time it is working and I've successfully sent some messages to myself. I tried some other combinations and got a dead key, but whatever, RTS DTR seems to do it, very weird On 5/1/22 14:38, Lee Bengston wrote:

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help

Lines that seemed like they should work either gave me no PTT or a constant transmit. The only line that worked in direwolf.conf was this: PTT /dev/ttyUSB0 RTS DTR At the time I implemented the above, it was not considered a valid option based on my interpretation of what's in the manual, but it worked.? If it hasn't been tried already you might want to try the above and also try reversing RTS and DTR in the line if the above doesn't work. Of course change the serial port to match yours. 73, Lee K5DAT On Sun, May 1, 2022 at 3:25 PM Patrick <kd7wpq@...> wrote: Understood, but toggling the switch should only switch the PTT method |

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
Understood, but toggling the switch should only switch the PTT method whether that by PTT or FSK in accordance to the signal it receives, be that RTS or DTR, but I digress, if my buddy and I have no luck I will give that a go, pull it out and do some tinkering.
I'm still curious why I can get PTT in FLDigi without a issue but not Direwolf, or rather it works correctly. Another thing I thought about doing is grabbing one of my USB serial adapters that shows what signals are being sent via LEDs on the adapter and seeing what it shows me. I'll report back when I have more results. |

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHello Patrick, It's a pretty remote possibility that this is a code bug since 1000s of people are successfully using Direwolf.? The unique thing here is that you're using the Yaesu SCU-17 device with matching Yaesu cable which many people don't have.? I would imagine you can make it work but you need to work your way through the testing steps I've offered to confirm you're actually getting the signals you expect.? To me, your core issue seems to be showing up with FSK led lighting up symptom.? It would be interesting to see if toggling that switch inside the radio body itself to see how that changes your outcome. --David KI6ZHD On 05/01/2022 12:45 PM, Patrick wrote:

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
Nope, I have FLRig and FLDigi configured to use my 857 by default.
FLRig is pointed to /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_00AC0110-if00-port0 Firewolf (/dev/ttyUSB1) is configured to use /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_00F8CEC3-if01-port0 No other applications are running using those devices unless I open them And just for the heck of it I just configured FLDigi to use Hardware PTT (CAT turned off) to /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_00F8CEC3-if01-port0 with "Use RTS" checked, closed the config window and clicked on "Tune" and it keyed up. Click Tune again (to turn it off) and PTT let go. |

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
What about Flrig? Are you using that with Fldigi? If so, Flrig is the program that is owning the serial port, not Fldigi, so it is what has to be shut down before starting DireWolf.

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
I'll ask the obvious question: ?? You aren't trying to use /dev/ttyUSB1 when both FLDigi and Direwolf are running? ?? Being more specific, you are sure FLDigi is 'dropping' its connection to /dev/ttyUSB1 before you start Direwolf? Robert Giuliano

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
Patrick, The following is the entire contents of my direwolf.conf running on a Raspberry pi. ADEVICE plughw:1,0 plughw:1,0 ACHANNELS 1 CHANNEL 0 MYCALL K5CG MODEM 1200 PTT /dev/ttyUSB0 RTS TXDELAY 30 TXTAIL 10 AGWPORT 8000 The serial port is an FTDI USB to RS-232 cable and the radio (a KW TM-V71A) is set to key on the assertion of RTS (using it's Echolink Sysop mode feature). This appears as /dev/ttyUSB0. Audio in/out is via a simple USB sound fob. This appears as device #1. YAAC connects to the AGWPORT and direwolf keys the radio when needed. I don't know anything about the SCU-17 but is there a way to know the COM port number or device name from whatever PC you are connecting it to? From: "Patrick" <kd7wpq@...> Anyone have an insite on how to get PTT working or some things I can test to get it working? |

I've tried ending the first un-commented PTT line with RTS, RTS DTR, RTS -DTR, -DTR and DTR and it will dead key Being that hamlib doesn't have any of the D (digital) variations in it's library I tried RIG 1021, RIG 1022 and RIG 1043, none of those seemed to work either. I do know my com port is set to 19200, I set it, Data speed is set to 1200, so I know that is set correctly but I'm not sure what other options I have regarding PTT configuration. Does anyone have any ideas, thoughts and or suggestions? I'm willing to give whatever you think up a go to see if we can get the SCU-17 to key PTT |

Re: Direwolf as a TNC Help
I'll jump over there and see what I can get figured out.
I have the radio connected via USB to a via a ?which provides CAT control via a serial port and sound via a 10-pin mini-DIN to 6-pin Mini-DIN. The 6 pin is plugged into the I am able to see Direwolf decode what the radio receives, now I need to get PTT working to verify I have the correct outgoing or microphone port. Currently my PTT configuration(s) only lock the radio in transmit when Direwolf is run. #PTT COM1 RTS #PTT COM1 RTS -DTR PTT /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_00F8CEC3-if01-port0 DTR #PTT RIG 1022 /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2105_Dual_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_00F8CEC3-if01-port0 19200 I have another SCU-17 on my FT-857D on the same computer, it is controlled via FLRig and it shows the following working configuration... |

Re: Testing output
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýRob is right here (sorry for the confusion).? I did have them reversed BUT it's the "DATA IN" signal that also needs the ability to enable or disable the application of pre-emphasis if your radio supports this.? For say Kenwood v71/d710 models, here is a thread about it: ?? /g/VARA-MODEM/topic/74742391 Ultimately, when in doubt, assume your radio is applying the emphasis / de-emphasis to your signal which is the CORRECT choice for 1200bps packet used with APRS, classic connected packet, etc. --David KI6ZHD On 04/28/2022 08:28 AM, Rob Giuliano

Re: Testing output
The Data Jack (6-pin mini-DIN) on radios does NOT have a 9600 baud TX pin. There are 6 pins in the jack: 1??? PKD (Data In) 2??? GND 3??? PTT 4??? RX9600 5??? RX1200 6??? SQL The TC path is the same for either baud rate. Robert Giuliano

Hello Neil, I am looking at the received audio coming back from the kenwood radio in audacity(first program I tried), and when I look at the transmit tones, it appears that my higher frequency is way down compared to the lower frequency.? Changing the playback volume doesn't appear to solve this.? The output looks the same when normalized(which audacity seems to do automatically). I think you you're seeing the effect of pre-emphasis or the lack of it.? When you connect your packet equipment to your radio, more basic radios can only be connected using their microphone port or possibly a "1200 bps" packet pin.? Those those signals will have pre-emphasis added to them and are transmitted over RF.? More advanced radios or modified radios have a "9600 bps" pin that does NOT add a pre-emphasis stage to the signal before it's transmitted over RF.? Pre-emphasis is already covered on but also has good descriptions here: ?? --David KI6ZHD |
