Like, I can rigctl, toggle the ptt, everything works just fine.But, for whatever reason, direwolf _refuses_ to work.I see it, like, flash the ptt once the first time I try to Tx, but nothing comes out, and then the ptt doesn't even trigger with subsequent attempted transmissions. The direwolf console registers that it Tx'd packets, and there are no error messages.I've even tried running the digirig as a rigctld server locally. Same deal; other programs can trigger ptt for an arbitrary amount of time, but direwolf configured to use it still just flashes the first packet.I don't have this issue on Linux, and I don't _think_ I have this problem when I use vox on a baofeng (I need to try again to verify).

Teknikal_DomainSo, some notes:Got my K1 cables for the <a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/DigiRig" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigiRig</a> today, meaning I should be able to have an audio I/F to most HTs. (And if they're RS-232 serial, I can program them too.) So I just did some low-power APRS testing... and sure enough, plug in the GT-5R and my 878 was decoding packets from it.Only one issue: the AnyTone 878 doesn't PTT in the same way, apparently, so that's not doing anything. I guess that means this cable is Baofeng only... but you know, the GT-5R has "enough" filtering (certainly more than the UV-5R) and a portable APRS station is a portable APRS station. I think I can work with that.<a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/AmateurRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmateurRadio</a> <a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HamRadio</a> <a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/APRS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#APRS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/AnyTone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AnyTone</a> <a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/Baofeng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Baofeng</a>

b4ux1t3 :trek_ds9_sisko:#1️⃣Speaking of things I've been meaning to post about <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HamRadio</a>: Does anyone know of any software that lets you pipe your computer's microphone out to a radio input through, for example, a <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/digirig" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#digirig</a>? I don't mean remote control software for a radio (Though I also want that, I have a whole series of toots on the old account about that), I mean software specifically for operating devices like the digirig or <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/aioc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#aioc</a> Toggles the PTT using a serial device, outputs audio from mic, nothing else.

Teknikal_DomainSure, let's keep abusing the hashtag.Anyone else with a <a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/DigiRig" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigiRig</a> noticed that the PTT line interferes with the audio?I tested with a Kenwood TS-140S, no CAT control, voice keyer loaded with a file of my voice. If I didn't configure PTT, and hit the button, I'd see my power jump up to 100W output.If I reconfigured it to assert the RTS line for PTT, then I get a maximum of 50W out. This isn't just that one software, I've seen the trend across everything else I've used.Here's the weird part: the 140 has a separate PTT and Audio In pins, it's not like an HT where you're biasing the mic pin. So the two are separate signals, why is one affecting the other, unless it's like a power supply issue, which is just weird<a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HamRadio</a> <a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/AmateurRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmateurRadio</a> <a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/Kenwood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Kenwood</a>

Teknikal_DomainI cannot even today.Asserting PTT on the <a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/DigiRig" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DigiRig</a> halves my audio drive. I can only push my rig (Kenwood TS-140S) to half power (50W) when PTT is under digi control, if I manually PTT it and tell software not to assert the PTT line then it'll go to full power.Bonus: I can set the audio levels to near 0, from like 20-100, it doesn't even change the ALC amount. I don't know, man.<a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/Kenwood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Kenwood</a> <a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/AmateurRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmateurRadio</a> <a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HamRadio</a> <a href="https://mastodon.tekdmn.me/tags/WTF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WTF</a>
