[arm-allstar] low audio with full-888s

[VE3kai]

Hello all.  I just did the modification to my baofeng bf-888s. I have a DMK URIx that I have connected to it. I followed Mr Crompton's instructions on his web site to the letter.  My version on the board is the newer short version.  So i followed the section contributed by WB3DZZ.   I also have a Raspberry PI 3 using the latest version of  code (1.5 xxx cr17)

I am able to connect to a node or reflector no problem. I can issue all start and stop commands with no problem.  I hear the audio of the east coast reflector with no problem.  The staton ID is transmitted every 9 minutes which comes out very clear. The issue I have is my transmit audio is low.  To the point people can't hear me.  I disconnected the bf-888s from the URIx and just did a local transmit and sure enough the audio is very low.  I will be rechecking all my solder connections etc.  Has anyone had a similar issue?  

One thing I just thought of while writing this article is to try a handheld mic. I will try this when I get home later this morning.
