I agree with Doug, The BF-888 does not provide access to the
discriminator or modulator, so you will not be able to use the DSP
in USBRadio to detect COS or CTCSS. The transmit is to the mic
input, so sending CTCSS from the channel driver is no good.<br>
<br>
Use SimpleUSB and get your CTCSS detect from the audio chip as
described by W0FCM. The only changes I would make is to remove the
mic element or plug in a dummy plug to the 3.5 mm connector. I would
also suggest getting receive audio from the volume pot.<br>
This way you don't have to worry about the volume getting bumped and
changing your receive audio. The outside pin on the volume pot will
give you de-emphasized receive audio at a fixed level to drive the
URI. <b style="color: rgb(135, 135, 135); font-family: arial,

Hello,
I am struggling with simpleusb and would appreciate some information on
the difference between usbradio and simpleusb.
eg: if I change the CTCSSfrom and CARRIERfrom in usbradio.conf does that
reduce the " load " on the CPU ? that seems to
be the reason to choose simpleusb over usbradio ??
Here's the setup:
I modified a Baofeng 888 as per the link [ W0FCM's Modification of a
Baofeng BF-888s as an Allstar node ], very clear and
straightforward instructions, THANKS .. My plan is to use this in a
mobile setup. After various attempts with simpleusb I
walked away from it after shutting everything down then returned about
30 mins later, switched everything on and it worked,
had a contact for 40 mins or so, had a break, feeling good !, returned
and found that I couldn't tx via the node but could
rx.
No amount of pushing and shoving could coax the node to do what I wanted
so I returned to usbradio, set the aforementioned
parms from dsp to usb and I now have a working node. There is some fine
tuning still to be done. With [ rxdemod=speaker ]
and [ txctcssdefault=118.8 rxctcssfreqs=118.8 txctcssfreqs=118.8 ] I can
access the node without any CTCSS tones.
So going back to my question how can I get simpleusb to work ??
Regards,
Ian.
