OK. So, the program is seeing the discriminator audio at a level
of 25995, but not seeing the tone of 206.5 Hz. In
/etc/asterisk/usbradio.conf, do you have the following values set:
txctcssdefault=206.5 ; default tx ctcss freq, any frequency
permitted
rxctcssfreqs=206.5 ; rx ctcss freqs in floating point. must
be in table
txctcssfreqs=206.5 ; tx ctcss freqs, any frequency permitted
rxctcssoverride=0 ; Set to 1 or yes to start out in carrier
squelch mode
Hmm, while 206.5 is a valid tone value in my Wouxun KG-UV3D radio,
it is not one of the “standard” 38 CTCSS tones that is in most
tone tables, and I’m wondering if it is defined in the app_rpt
software. Could you try switching the radio and usbradio.conf file
entries to a more common tone, such as 203.5 Hz, that I know
works? After saving the file, be sure to execute “CLI> restart
now”

I set a 206.5 tone because I wanted to make sure the baofeng
didn’t filter it out with a high pass filter

The "meas=25995" indicates the node is seeing
discriminator audio,
although just a tad bit low in level. So, it is making it
in OK.
Can you elaborate on what conditions you have established
for the
menu item 4 test?

First I am using the Baofeng radio for the second
node, and using
speaker audio, which I understand is not the best,
but I am
hoping I can at least get it to work.
Second, I hit menu 2 /Auto detect RX noise level:/
/
/
*Tries=6, setting=563, meas=25995, sqnoise=168.*
*
*
Now I hit menu 4 Auto detect CTCSS with carrier and
CTCSS
And this is where I have issuees
*Setting = 8.00 meas=0.00*
*RX CTCSS GAIN ADJUST FAILED*
*
*
I also tried it with speaker audio instead of flat,
but I still
couldn't get it to work. I remember at some point
while listening
on the web transceiver a tiny bit of audio came
through but
nothing really is getting through since.
Thanks,

From the CLI, make sure you have correct CM108
fob selected
(if more than one is hooked up) and run CLI>
"radio tune
rxnoise" without the quotation marks, with the
receiver
sending discriminator audio to the fob, and you
should be
seeing around 28000 as the level coming in. Call
me if you
need more help. You already have my number.

I made the modification to the startech CM108
sound fob.
This is for a second node on the same
machine. Everything
should be working, the node is transmitting
with audio
and PTT is activating properly.
The receive should be working too, I plugged
it in to my
macbook and was able to hear the white noise
just fine
and I could hear my voice when I keyed up.
I also had Jeremy W0JRL help with everything
on the
software, and we tried about everything from
Flat audio
to speaker audio to COR to CTCSS but still no
receive
audio coming through the network, it isn't
detecting
anything when I am transmitting from my node
radio to the
node.
I was on the phone with him for almost two
hours trying
anything we could think of, I did anything
hardware, and
he modified anything software, but we still
got no audio
through the network. We even turned off the
squelch and
there was a dead carrier through the network.
Is there something wrong compatibility wise
with this
fob? I did everything in the instructions and
I got it
from here
.
I used this instruction manual
If this is a compatibility issue, it is sure
a weird one
because the Txaudio worked fine.
Is there a way to tell if any audio at all is
coming in
