Or - you could get one of my new RL-20 adapters. RL = Radio Less. 20 = $20 in kit form.
Available soon from Masters Communications.
Yes - you can use it for a radio interface too!

Kevin,
That excites me way more than a headset…I can’t wait! I’ll definitely be among your first orders for that, no question. Let us know when the technical specifications and documentation come out, would you?
Thanks,
John, AI3I
It’s available - just now…

I’m trying to look up the pinout of the DB-9 connector – I can’t seem to find it anywhere for any of the RA- products. Can you link me? I wish I would have known about your product before soldering a bunch of CM108s. (failing twice)
You really ought to add those to the Allstar Wiki so it’s front and center.
The pinouts are listed for every Masters Communications product under the Installation guide.
According to their web site the DB9 matches the Kantronics connector pinouts, this seems to be a standard for a lot of other manufacturers as well such as the APRS TinyTrac device and the Argent Data opentrackers.

That is incorrect. DRA adapters vary from RA (and RL) adapters in terms of pinouts. This is why it’s important people read the documentation on the website; everything is clearly documented there.
This should be what you are looking for.

I am looking to setup ASL with a usb headset. I’ve now bought 3 of the Mpow 071 headsets with the usb adapter supplied. All 3 appears as:
dmesg
[759867.353254] usb 3-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0d8c, idProduct=0014, bcdDevice= 1.00
[759867.353257] usb 3-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

[759867.420784] hid-generic 0003:0D8C:0014.000A: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.00 Device [C-Media Electronics Inc. Mpow HC] on usb-0000:00:14.0-2/input3
lsusb
Bus 003 Device 015: ID 0d8c:0014 C-Media Electronics, Inc.
which is not listing as a cm108.
Is there anyway to recompile ASL from source to match this device as an alternative to the cm108 ?
I was thinking to swap the config / id in the code for the cm108 to my usb adapter:
Ordered the MPOW, got it in, plugged in to an existing node, pushed the - button and IT WORKED. (Did have to adjust volume up to 800 out of 999) to get a good TX… Thanks!!!

[/quote] ?
Well after researching what the heck a MPOW device is…I need to ask what was the actual brand and model number of the device you purchased that worked so easily.
Larry - N7FM
MPOW 071 off ebay. Got it for $12.00
Thanks much.

@dtmpower did you ever try compiling ASL with a code change for the MPOW headset to match 0d8c:0014?
@Forking_Pork If you still have your MPOW 071 would you mind giving the output of lsusb? Mine is showing as a Unitek Y-247A and I have not been able to get it working with ASL. It works out of the box with a HamVOIP image, but my goal is to run ASL in a VM with USB passthrough.
This is how my MPOW 071 is reading with lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0d8c:0014 C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter (Unitek Y-247A)
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0d8c:0014 C-Media Electronics, Inc.
Mine doesn’t have the Unitek, but same ID.
I have it running on Hamvoip. I don’t have an ASL version running on a pi, just Vultr, so can’t check…
Would be mighty helpful to see working examples of rpt.conf and simple_tune_usb_[node#].conf. My USB device is recognized but I can’t get audio in/out of it.
