Hi Steve�that sounds great. My boss is out of town until Wednesday next week and I�m trying to get the logon info for you. I think the repeater is turned off so we�ll have to get it turned on if we do this before he gets back.
I did hook up the COS line from the Icom as well. I didn�t have a scope with me when I was down there a few weeks ago. Next time I go down I�ll have to see if I can find it (it was in storage I think last I knew).
Will keep you posted.
Thanks leon

Leon,
Sounds like the flat output may be flat but only through 3 KHz and not up to 10 KHz where the noise is for carrier squelch.
The way to figure this out is to sample the audio through the USB adapter into a utility like Audacity and use its FFT to see what the noise spectrum looks like.
I'd be glad to help you do this by logging in, capturing the signal and transfering to my lab for analysis. I can take the results and come up with a configuration setting that will work for you.
Just let me know what you want to do.
73,
Steve Henke, W9SH

Hi there�
We purchased a few of the DMK USB FOBs awhile back after homebrewing a few.
When I was down in Virginia at company HQ last month, I spent a few
nights trying to make this work to no avail. We have an old IFR service
monitor which I was using to generate tones and such. We're using an
Icom commercial repeater IC-FR3000/4000. The Icom has no internal
controls for rx or txaudio that I can find (documentation is very slim).
Basically, rxtune doesn't want to work with the audio coming off the
Icom repeater discriminator. I did not try deemphasized audio as I want
to keep everything flat. In looking through some of the old posts we are
seeing similar results whereby rxtune doesn't see anything.
But oddly enough, if I used the HT to generate DTMF tones, the * box
would detect them. The transmitted audio I could not get more than 2 or
2.5 kHz deviation with the audio coming out of the * box.
As a side note, when we were using the homebrew USB FOBs we had louder
digitally generated audio (didn't have the service monitor then) than
repeated audio.
Got any ideas to try?
Thanks leon wa4zlw
