Suppress VOX Warning
I compiled/updated Direwolf on Kubuntu today using "git checkout dev".? Starting Direwolf report 1.8 A which has a reasonable length VOX comment.? ?Then I starting from a new Raspberry Pi build (New Pi5) and downloading/compiling from github also with "git checkout dev".? That gives
me 1.8 D that has 20 lines of VOX commentary.? I think that is a bit much and it is repeated for each
configured device (I have 2).
REQUEST: The VOX warning has no value if there is no transmit audio device, so it makes sense to eliminate the warning.
Adding an option of '-q v' to "quiet the VOX warning" would allow those
who use the application often and have read the warning to suppress it
in future start-ups. Robert Giuliano |

Re: Timeout waiting for input from audio device 0. (Windows 11, Paracon, Digirig Lite, FTM-500)
Thank you David,
?
I did not find anything in the windows logs.? I'm planning on moving to Linux soon and will revisit Direwolf at that point in time.
?
Also a big thank you to everyone else who offered their help!

Re: Unable to connect to IGate server
Not surprising. A lot of networks are restricting outbound access to authorized ports only (such as standard HTTP and HTTPS ports) to prevent malware that sneaks past their security from being able to "phone home". And the standard APRS-IS port numbers are not consistent with any approved web standard.

Re: Problems trying configure my location for iGate..
You still don't have the figures correct.? The numbers NEVER use seconds. For LAT it is DD^MM.mmmN? ??????? where D-degrees, M-Minutes, m-decimal minutes (not seconds), and requires direction letter (not sign) ????? LON it is DDD^MM.mmmE? ??????? where D-degrees, M-Minutes, m-decimal minutes (not seconds), and requires direction letter (not sign) Many APRS application requiring a leading zero for Degrees and some for Seconds because they text. Since Direwolf formats the provided information as it generates the packet, it may not require those leading zeros. Option 2 ?? Lat +DD.ddddd where + is the direction sign, D-Degrees, and d-decimal degrees (no '^') So, if (as you stated) your last portions are 44 and 39 seconds, I suggest you try: ?? PBEACON sendto=igate every=30 overlay=R symbol="igate" LAT=55^56.73N LONG=003^23.65W To experiment with the format, you could also try ?? PBEACON sendto=igate every=30 overlay=R symbol="igate" LAT=55.9455 LONG=-3.3941 Although not putting the direction may work in some places, there will be times the packet just gets rejected.?

Re: Problems trying configure my location for iGate..
开云体育Hi Bob It's on P111 of the Direwolf User Guide and will accept decimal
notation as well as your example's. Your example though is in the
degree/minute.mmm format but 94 (minutes) exceeds the max of 60.
There is also no "N" specifier. I don't think any via argument is needed for an igate beacon
either. The manual also specifies sendto=IG. I think the line might be; PBEACON sendto=IG every=30 overlay=R
symbol="igate" lat=55.945526 long=-3.392573

Re: Problems trying configure my location for iGate..
Morning Nigel, Thanks for the reply.... but I'm still not gellint the requied location.... I changed the PBeacon statement to:
PBEACON sendto=igate every=30 overlay=R symbol="igate" lat=55^94 long=3^39E via=WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1 And this puts me just north of New York in the good old US of A..... What am I doing wrong as I cant find any documentation explaining how to structure the locations string????

Re: Unable to get Direwolf to connect to IC-7300
Thank you, Bob and all.? I have discovered that the current version? of Direwolf does indeed support PTT on the ICOM USB port.
I changed the PTT line to
PTT COM8 DTR
I changed the USB Send setting in the IC-7300 to DTR
Com 8 is my Icom assigned USB Com port.? I also changed the ADEVICE line to
ADEVICE 8 9
I changed the MODEM line to
MODEM 300 A- 7@30
This was the suggested by the author of the Direwolf config file setup instructions.? His explanation was using 7 modems with 30 spacing, gives a better chance of decoding HF packets when the sending station may be slightly off frequency.
All seems to be working well now.? I get acks from all my Beacon transmissions.
I am running on 14.105 with good results.
Many thanks to all for the great comments.

Problems trying configure my location for iGate..
Morning from a cold, wet and windy Scotland....
I've built an iGate with Pi3+ and and Icom RX but I can't get my location on show on aprs.fi properly... ?
I've tried Lat/ Long and UTM.
?
My Pbeacon statement is:
?
PBEACON sendto=igate every=30 overlay=R symbol="igate" lat=42^55.94539 long=071^3.39273E via=WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1
?
This locates me in Eastern Europe near Tapaz.....
?
My lat/long is 55.945526, -3.392573
?
What am I doing wrong?? (what do the 42^ and 071^ mean/do???)
?

Re: Timeout waiting for input from audio device 0. (Windows 11, Paracon, Digirig Lite, FTM-500)
开云体育Hello KG7ASX, Please review your Windows 11 Event logs around that timeframe of the Direwolf failure and see if there any specific USB or other issues.? This still seems like an RFI or cabling issue to me though you NOT seeing this same issue with other HAM data applications like VARA, etc. is very perplexing. --David KI6ZHD On 01/23/2025 09:40 AM, KG7ASX via

Re: Timeout waiting for input from audio device 0. (Windows 11, Paracon, Digirig Lite, FTM-500)
Thank you for the responses.

Some encouraging progress!
?
I completed the following steps:
1. I rebooted my machine
2. Changed the performance mode to "best performance" per Jerry's suggestion
3. Started Direwolf
4. Started Paracon
5. Attempted to connect to my KPC3+ pbbs on a different radio
6. Connection completed (I've never been able to get this far!)
7. Sent command to list messages and the message list returned to view in Paracon
8. Sent command to read a message and message contents returned to view in Paracon
9. Sent command to kill a message
10. I get the same error message as before
?
I was able to reproduce the above behavior over 5 reboot and retry cycles.? Direwolf consistently errors after the above steps.
?
Below is the Direwolf log and eventual error:

Re: Timeout waiting for input from audio device 0. (Windows 11, Paracon, Digirig Lite, FTM-500)
开云体育Jerry:? Did you see this same issue with a Digirig device or just some other USB-based sound device? I've been thinking more about this issue as I hate to give up in defeat but one other possibility is Bob VK2YQA mentioned is that another application is actually using the sound device.? Maybe try: ?? 1. rebooting your machine ?? 2. start direwolf and see if it works or still errors out ?? 3. see what other applications are using sound devices: and either stop them or uninstall them as a test --David KI6ZHD On 01/23/2025 04:48 AM, Jerry Rogich

I had the same issue and I found that an ac line cable in the wall was next to the digirig. I moved it a foot away and been running fine. I can also trigger this by using the audio devices setting in control panel occasionally. Lastly run the pc in high performance os power mgmt mode. Running just a 4 core 2.8 ghz celeron. |

Re: Timeout waiting for input from audio device 0. (Windows 11, Paracon, Digirig Lite, FTM-500)
开云体育Yeah.. it sounds like you're doing the right thing here.? Hmmm... I don't know what else to say.? There is something clearly not right on your computer between the OS, the Digirig, and Direwolf.? I know you've said other programs work just fine with this combo but clearly Direwolf is doing something differently enough to be a problem.? The only next steps I can think of would be to run the Windows Direwolf in a debugger and start tracing the code execution but I have no idea how to do that on Windows.? Maybe John WB2OSZ or other smart Windows people can give additional ideas. --David KI6ZHD On 01/22/2025 07:14 PM, KG7ASX via

Responding to David Ranch:
?
- "disconnect the Digirig, go into the Windows Device Manager too and REMOVE the CM108 driver."
?
??? - I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly.? In Device Manager, under "Sound, video and game controllers", I see a "USB Audio Device" listed.? This disappears after unplugging the Digirig Lite.? So I assume this is the pertinent device to uninstall.? I uninstall it and then plug the Digirig Lite back in and it reappears.? Viewing the properties, I see no mention of a CM108 driver, it seems to be using a Microsoft "USB Audio Device" driver.? Am I looking at the right device? |

Re: Timeout waiting for input from audio device 0. (Windows 11, Paracon, Digirig Lite, FTM-500)
开云体育Eric/David/John/Greg Shot in the dark that may be worth a look. I don't know the Windows audio system at all, but the behaviour might also be explained by some (other) process grabbing the audio output in exclusive mode. I assume Direwolf tries to grab Windows hardware the same (exclusive) way as Linux, whereas VARA may not. (which would logically explain why that works) The other thought is to have a look in the Windows
syslog/messaging for clues. ie look for any red or yellow blobs
that time coincide with TX/PTT. Also possibly disable the CM108
PTT in the Direwolf config and test/TX. This to establish if the
fault is in the audio system only. Cheers Bob VK2YQA On 23/1/25 10:40, David Ranch via
