[arm-allstar] USB FOB Problem

Doug,
That’s what I am thinking (bad FOB), thus the reason I bought 4 of them. Outbound audio is working just fine, and the green LED is blinking away. I just cracked open another one. Working on it for Cape May for summer.

Joe,

 Obviously you have an audio problem. A scope would fine it in an instant but you could signal trace with an amplifier and speaker. If audio is getting to the FOB chip then you might have a bad FOB. It has been known to happen. The FOB is working with outbound audio? The FOB green LED is blinking properly?  Having no audio at all with rxboost=1 and levels turned up to max would possibly indicate a short somewhere in the audio path.

When I unkey, the > sign disappears, so I know that it is seeing something. I shut down and replace the USB FOB with my URi, all is well.

The polarization of the cap has been verified. For kicks, I tacked another 47K in parallel with the 47K, but no change. I do not have a scope. Any ideas?
