When you said URI the interface we think of is DMK URI which has a COS input from your radio. You really should look into using either that interface or a modified USB FOB. Using VOX is not a good way to do it. Also using duplex=0 eliminates all of the niceties of Allstar as it turns off telemetry. You will have no connect/disconnect, courtesy tone or system messages.<br><br>The DMK URI interface unfortunately is not cheap it is about $80 shipped. It is readily available. If you are able to build things modifying a USB FOB can be done for less than $10 including the price of the FOB and any parts you may need. <br><br>Info on the USB fobs is in the how-to section at hamvoip.org<br id="FontBreak"></font><br><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2015 00:19:45 +0000<br>From: kb3oil@yahoo.com<br>To: doug@crompton.com<br>Subject: Re: [arm-allstar] CW ID not transmitting a 10 minute intervals<br><br><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;"><div id="ecxyui_3_16_0_1_1449532520263_2890">Hi Doug,</div><div id="ecxyui_3_16_0_1_1449532520263_2891"><br></div><div id="ecxyui_3_16_0_1_1449532520263_2892">Thank you for the quick response. <br></div><div id="ecxyui_3_16_0_1_1449532520263_2893"><br></div><div dir="ltr" id="ecxyui_3_16_0_1_1449532520263_2894">As mentioned, there are two reasons I am using duplex = 0.

And second when I use duplex = 1, my transmission are interrupted by breaks when I pause for an instant between words. However, the CW ID's are transmitted as you describe. I have tried to adjust the audio as suggested by the URI vendor (see previous email).
