Receive via USB Connection on IC7100 with direwolf


 

I'm trying to use direwolf with my IC-7100.? I can get the transmit to work, but I can't receive any packets.? I hear them coming from my radio, but I don't see them getting logged by direwolf.? I'm using linux.

My Major modification in the direwolf.conf file is
PTT RIG 370 /dev/ttyUSB1

Is there something special I need to do to get it to receive?

Below is what it looks like when I start direwolf.? I am using Linux.

Reading config file direwolf.conf
Audio device for both receive and transmit: default? (channel 0)
Channel 0: 1200 baud, AFSK 1200 & 2200 Hz, E+, 44100 sample rate, DTMF decoder enabled.
Hamlib determined CAT control serial port rate of 19200.
Ready to accept AGW client application 0 on port 8000 ...
Ready to accept KISS TCP client application 0 on port 8001 ...

Thanks,

I do don't use hf and Linux with direwolf, I run it on a raspberry pi through a easy digital board.

A little more information on this...I'm connecting my radio via a USB data connection.? The USB drivers have been working for Gpredict, WSJT-x and FLrig, so I feel like the radio is setup properly.? Can Direwolf handle both transmit and receive via a USB connection??


 

The IC-7100 is capable of many bands.
I assume you are referring to decoding whne the radio in FM mode on VHF (144.390 MHz).
If you are running the radio on HF bands, the the baud and frequencies will be different.
?? Interesting writeup here:

The next comment would be that if you are hearing packets that 'sound decodable', but are not being decoded, it is most likey that the sound card settings are not matching.? Since you are using the default sound device, you should check which devices are default on your system.? I mostly use the KDE desktop (KUbuntu) which has different icon tray icons and settings, I will leave the settings part up to you to check.

You are correct, Rob.? I am trying to decode APRS on 144.390 MHz.? I only have a USB connection to my radio.? I can hear the APRS packets coming through on my Radio, but they aren't registering with direwolf.? Do I need to connect my radio to a sound card input to be able to hear from the radio?? I guess I was thinking the USB could handle both transmit and receive connections.


 

I assume USB sound card?
Even if the USB sound card is 'half duplex', the device will be only in 1 state at a time.? None of the applications decode while transmitting, unless (maybe) if you have left andf right audio channels enabled.

To me, the key is that you are able to TX.? That is usually the more difficult part (at least to me).
More things can prevent TX (Carrier detect, busy frequency, etc.).

Direwolf can use your IC7100's built-in soundcard just fine assuming you configured your radio to use USB for it's audio I/O (not the default).?? Have you Google'ed around for some hints?

? Search: icom ic7100 direwolf setup

???? - Windows centric but gives you a bunch of settings to check:

This gave me some clues.? Essentially I did not have my ADEVICE set up properly.? Using "arecord -l" command showed me the USB Codec was on Card 2 instead of 1.? After setting my ADEVICE properly, the audio was passing for transmit and receive.? I also found that previously when I thought I was transmitting, I was just transmitting blank air.? It was keyying my transmitter, but not sending any APRS codes.? Hopefully this helps someone else in the future.?

Thanks for the support! 73?

Below are my options that worked.

#ADEVICE plughw:1,0
ADEVICE plughw:2,0
ACHANNELS 1
CHANNEL 0
MYCALL KI5SBM
MODEM 1200
PTT RIG 370 /dev/ttyUSB1
AGWPORT 8000
KISSPORT 8001

alsamixer (then F5) should display something similar to the following; make note of your original settings. Controls with "MM" are muted, so you'll want to use the left/right arrow keys to select a particular control, then the M key to toggle muting. Up/down arrow keys adjust levels. Experiment in real-time until things work as desired; <esc> exits. To save settings across reboots type "alsactl store" as root.
