[arm-allstar] Kenwood Repeater Interface

[Chris Andrist]

Hi Chris,

I use the following for my TKR.


rpt.conf

rxchannel=SimpleUSB/usb


duplex=0

Comment Out All ID fields

;idrecording=/etc/asterisk/local/node-id
                                ; Main ID voice
;idrecording=|iDE /L
                                ; Main ID CW
;idtalkover=|iDE /L
                                ; ID when signal present

;idrecording=|iDE /L




linktolink = yes


simpleusb.conf

[general]

[usb]

eeprom=0

rxboost=0               ; 0 = 20db attenuator inserted, 1= 20db attenuator removed
                        ; Set to 1 for additonal gain if using a low-level receiver output

carrierfrom=usb         ; no,usb,usbinvert
                        ; no - no carrier detection at all
                        ; usb - from the COR line on the modified USB sound fob
                        ; usbinvert - from the inverted COR line on the modified USB sound fob

ctcssfrom=no            ; no,usb,usbinvert
                        ; no - CTCSS decoding, system will be carrier squelch
                        ; usb - CTCSS decoding using input from USB FOB
                        ; usbinvert - from the inverted CTCSS line on the modified USB sound fob

invertptt=0             ; Invert PTT 0 = ground to transmit, 1 = open to transmit
                        ; This is the collector lead of the 2n4401 on the modified
                        ; usb sound fob.
                        ; please refer to the howto for the procedure to do this.

;plfilter=no            ; enable PL filter

;deemphasis=no          ; enable de-emphasis (input from discriminator)

;preemphasis=no         ; enable pre-emphasis (output to TX)

;rxaudiodelay=0         ; rx audio delay for squelch tail elimination. Valid values
                        ; from 0-24 in 20ms increments. Typical values 5-10


simepleusb_tune.conf

[usb]
devstr=1-1.1.2:1.0 ; use dmesg | grep "C-Media"
rxmixerset=400
txmixaset=500
txmixbset=500

I just set up a Kenwood TKR-840. I made a cable to connect to my soundcard
and everything is working fine. The problem is that the node is keying the
repeater with the PL tone off. The repeater works fine by itself and will
not transmit without the PL tone. I have the duplex setting at 2 and have
tried the other settings? Are there any Kenwood folks that can put me in
the right direction?
