[arm-allstar] weird issue with alinco dr-135

[Greg Higgins]

I have the same setup and had an audio issue. What fixed it was in the 7)
Set transmit DSP Level. The default is 0, change it to 999.

Hiya,
Actually it is set to usbinvert. Here's a copy of the menu settings:

Active simpleusb device stanza: [usb] ------------------------------------
S) Select active USB device stanza
V) View COS, CTCSS and PTT Telemetry using real-time display
P) Print Current Parameter Values ---- 2) Set Rx Voice Level (using display)
3) Set Transmit A Level           ---- 4) Set Transmit B Level
5) Set Tx Audio Level Method (currently LOG)
7) Set Transmit DSP Level
B) Toggle RX Boost Mode (currently Enabled)
C) Toggle Echo Mode (currently Disabled)
D) Flash (Toggle PTT and Tone output several times)
E) Toggle Transmit Test Tone/Keying (currently Disabled)
K) Manually key COS (currently Unkeyed)
F) Toggle PRE-emphasis Mode (currently Disabled)
G) Toggle DE-emphasis Mode (currently Disabled)
H) Toggle PLfilter Mode (currently Enabled)
Q) Toggle DCSfilter Mode (currently Disabled)
I) Toggle PTT Mode (currently active LOW)
J) Change COSFROM Mode (currently "usbinvert")
L) Change CTCSSFROM Mode (currently "no")
M) Change RXONDELAY value (currently "0")
N) Change RXAUDIODELAY value (currently "0")
W) Write (Save) Current Parameter Values
0) Exit Menu

Please enter your selection now:

The weird thing is that it's like it triggers the radio for a small amount
of a second, because if I key up for maybe two seconds and then let go of my
key, I hear the end of the auto id. It's like it notifies that it has a
signal and immediately stops sending data or something. Still looking at
stuff. The problematic part is that I'm blind, so I can't actually see
what's on the screen, I kind of just have to trial and error once I get some
kind of info about what button is what. Basically I'm building a text file
of button presses for settings, so if I mess anything up I can reset the
radio and run through that proceedure heh.

On a side note, there isn't anything needed to tell the radio to send data
over the de9 connector is there? It *does* transmit, but receiving seems to
be the weird part.

-Michael.
