Ok, I didn't think to look at the bottom for notes. My next dumb question, for the COS, what is it triggered by? Looking at the diode, keep in mind I'm no expert at electronics, I would think it's triggered by ground. Ground goes on the cathode side right? But testing the connections on my adapter from dealextreme, it has volume buttons, it connects that pin to aprox 3.3v. Is this I/O pin capable of either one? Or am I just really that confused? On my radio I hace ground output for COS or aprox. +5v for CTCSS. I'd rather use the COS if the software can decode and encode the CTCSS for me.
Also, does the software support multiple CTCSS tones like a community tone panel? Could I maybe configure multiple nodes (with different tones) and set them to the same usb device? It would be useful for giving groups their own tone, then if I had a problem I could disable that group.
According to the docs...if you are using discriminator you do not need to hook up COR.. if you DO want to use COR...it requires a pull to ground as you noted.. by default. The pull can either be COR or NOT COR ..I think it was a command in the usb dongle configs.
I would let the dsp do the work... you only need the discriminator audio that way..
The notes look like it can handle more than one tone... but that is a question I am curious about too.... Especially if the tone used can cause a routing change on the internet..like the tone can trigger an automatic route selection.
