[arm-allstar] Optimizing Your Clearnode Audio

[Chris Smart (ve3rwj)]

Here are Patrick's Clearnode settings from CQ Blind Hams Podcast episode
127, in as compact form as I can make them.

 

1. IMPORTANT!: Make sure your node is not connected to anything while making
these changes.

 

2. In the Clearnode app, find "Radio Type: Tap to Configure". Check all
three of the following boxes: Emphasis, High-Pass, and Low-Pass. Also, make
sure the radio is set to "wide", not "narrow". Tap "Save" then "Update". Go
back to the ""Radio Type: Tap to Configure" screen, and verify that those
boxes are still checked.

 

3. Go to Allstar Set Up, and find the switch called "Enable RX Notch
Filter". Turn it ON, and enter the following in the frequency field.

297,50,297,50

 

4. On the main screen of the app, find and activate "Adjust USB Gain for
VOIP". 

 

5. Change "From VOIP Mix A Set Level" to 800.

 

6. Change "To VOIP Mixer Set Level" to 550.

 

7. Change "TX DSP Level" to 200.

 

8. Check both boxes: "Enable De-Emphasis" and "Enable Pre-Emphasis".

 

9. Tap "Save" and allow your node to reboot a second time.

That's it.
