Help on using CTCSS with usbradio.conf

To Whom It May Concern,

I am trying to get a DMK URIx working with a BridgeCOM repeater using the usbradio.conf to provide CTCSS decode/encode and am having no success.

I can confirm that a received FM signals get repeated, and the allstar configuration also appears to be working. However any configuration related to CTCSS does not work at all.

I can confirm that the CTCSS tone is present with the input audio being fed to the URIx, but none of the relevant settings in usbradio.conf(e.g. rxctcssfreqs, ctcssfrom = dsp) seem to have any effect.

Adjusting the carrierfrom parameter in usbradio.conf has the expected results. The COR signal comes to the URIx from the repeater and functions correctly with carrierfrom set to usbinvert. At least with this I can confirm that apt_rpt is using usbradio.conf rather than simpleusb.conf.

While I have tested the hardware, I have not tried looking at the software beyond glancing through the source code to get a rough idea of the layout of apt_rpt.

Could anyone offer a working configuration example on CTCSS, or perhaps give debugging hints?

I can handle a debugger but am not sure of a good way to debug a program that operates on signals in real time.

Thanks in advance,

Neil

We have a Bridgecom 220 repeater hooked to an RLC-DSP404. Guidance regarding connectivity can be gained from -

I apologize for the long delay. Family life got in the way for a bit, and then I thought to check and double-check that I had implemented your suggestions faithfully. This was the usual "Because I waited so long I have to do better" type of paralysis.

Thank you Keith for the pinouts between the URIx and the BCR-40U. I have to wonder if suboptimal audio level settings might cause my issues. I don't suppose that you have those audio levels documented. I would expect that the levels would be nearly identical between any URIx+BCR combination.

Thank you for the suggestion Steve. I implemented your usbradio.conf then made single adjustments until I could get something to happen.

For the moment, I can confirm that I do get a working CTCSS encoding. At least it is enough to open the squelch on a test radio.

For receive tests, my test criteria is watching to see the red tx light on the URIx or listening to the signal via the allstar node.

I have txmixa set to composite as I am connected to the left audio channel of the URIx.

carrierfrom = dsp does not appear to work for me. I have to leave this set on usbinvert for anything to work.

If the 'rxctcssoverride' parameter is set to '0' or commented, I can never open the squelch. So I have to leave this as '1'.

ctcssfrom = dsp does not appear to do anything. Even in this setting, any signal without CTCSS gets repeated.

I left the other settings identical.

I know this is an old thread but thought I’d give it a try anyway. I’m having what seems to be the same issue. Interfacing allstar controller with a Yaesu DR1x repeater. Everything else seems to work pretty good, even the CTCSS encoding is working, but I cannot get it to decode CTCSS. If I set rxctcssoverride to 0 I can’t get the squelch to open. With it set to 1 it opens fine but any signal on Rx frequency will open it even without a tone programmed in the radio. Any further ideas or fixes would be appreciated.

There can be many reasons for what you are experiencing.
Hard for me to pick one path.

The first one would be if the repeater radio rx is ‘pl filtering’ on audio output or allowed to pass.

So, I might also ask the duplex mode in rpt.conf for this node.

And know that audio levels have to be pretty close for ctcss to function correctly.

Duplex mode is set to duplex = 2
I suppose it’s possible that it’s an audio problem, you’re guess is probably better than mine for sure haha. I will say though that audio levels on the system seem to be pretty great for both rx and tx audio. The tx PL tone is working fine but no dice on rx tones. I think it may be a good guess that the receiver on the repeater isn’t passing the tone…however, I’m not sure how or if it’s even possible to get it to.

While I am not familiar with that repeater, most modern systems have a programmability to that end.
and
Just because the output audio seems correct, does not mean the input level is correct.
It could be low and you can make that up on the output side. or v v
But normally low rx amplitude is the issue, especially if you hear no distortion in voice…

I can only give you some ideas to check.But I would rule those 2 out before doing much. Except perhaps with audio levels

I did a little checking and might suggest, ‘only if you find nothing’, to use discriminator audio for that unit,
then pre and de-emphasis on in simpleusb.conf

You are only running this looking for a tone with ‘analog audio’ ?

I am using USBradio driver and not simpleUSB…was that just a mistake on your end? I didn’t think simpleUSB had the ability to encode/decode ctcss or any DSP options for that matter.

I may have too low of audio…but in the radio tune menu Rx audio seems to have good deviation and it seems to be hearing me just fine. It does have really low rx audio though and I had to turn the audio gain pot (on my soundcard…DBA-30) up to pretty much max if I remember correctly. I also have rxboost turned on and my rx audio level on the usb tune menu is set to 999.

Below is from the manual of the repeater…maybe i should try using pin 8 instead of 9 for my rx audio feed…
