Hi Scott,

Yes. PC Comms OK led is solid, the PC Heartbeat is blinking. 

Thanks,
John

I'm hoping someone with the RepeaterBuilder RIM can lend some insight. I have the RB-USB-RIM (not the lite),and I've the most recent RPi2-3-4_V1.6-01 + updates installed. I basicallydid the defaults/recommended when setting up. I wanted to test the USB-RIMbefore going through and making the radio connections (will be a pair ofVertex Standards modified to the 6M band).Under simple-usb-tune, I went to do the Flash (Toggle PTT and Tone outputseveral times) option, but it did not blink the PTT on the RIM. Neither didE) Toggle Transmit Test.I do have power on, the PC heartbeat light is blinking. I'm just not sureif it's communicating. Should the PTT be able to light up even without thecable connected? I'm more used to a sound interface like the Signalink,which lights up the PTT (and you can hear the relay click) when it would betransmitting (even without a radio connected).Thanks for your help,John/KB3DFZsimpleusb.conf:[general][usb]eeprom=0rxboost=1carrierfrom=usbctcssfrom=usbinvertptt=0plfilter=nodeemphasis=nopreemphasis=norxaudiodelay=0plfilter=yesParameter Output:USB device String:       1-1.3:1.0Card is:         0Name is:         usbRx Level:        500Rx ondelay:      0Rx audio-delay:  0Tx A Level:      500Tx B Level:      500Tx DSP Level:    999preemphasis:     nodeemphasis:      noplfilter:        yesdcsfilter:       norxboost:         yesPTT:             Active LOWPTT status:      KeyedCTCSS (input):   CM108/CM119 Active HIGHCOS (input):     CM108/CM119 Active HIGHCOS (test):      Un-KeyedCOS (composite): Keyed_______________________________________________ARM-allstar mailing listARM-allstar at hamvoip.orghttp://lists.hamvoip.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/arm-allstarVisit the BBB and RPi2/3/4 web page - http://hamvoip.org
