Unfortunately they are not here and I cannot measure levels at this point. I would start by looking at the levels with a scope. You could temporarily reconnect the RX to TX audio lines without being connected to the URI and look at it with a scope. See what the P-P levels are with a tone or normal voice. Make sure it is working properly that way, proper deviation. Then reconnect the URI and see what levels you are getting out of URI into the TX. Possibly the URI is not working correctly. Look at the level out of pin 22. Pin 22 should be connected to pin 24. Look at the level at pin 12. It should be amplified significantly from pin 22/24. 12V should be on pin 25.<br><br>It seems like your levels may be set wrong. You need to set the RX level first into the URI. On the simpleusb-tune-menu screen item 2 it should peak out to 6 Khz. If that level was way low then the output on pin 22 would be low.<br><br>You do have the repeater only in analog mode right?<br></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">From: kd0qcn@aecimo.org<br>Date: Sun, 20 Dec 2015 00:47:43 -0600<br>To: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>Subject: Re: [arm-allstar] Yaesu DR-1X Interface<br><br><div>Doug,</div><div id="ecxAppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="ecxAppleMailSignature">I am running 12 volt into the URIX, and just to test I cranked the TX level to 999 and I still have audio that is still so low you can barely hear it. </div><div id="ecxAppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="ecxAppleMailSignature">I'm open to suggestions as I have tried everything I can think of.</div><div id="ecxAppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="ecxAppleMailSignature">Jeff</div><div id="ecxAppleMailSignature">KD0QCN </div><div><br>On Dec 20, 2015, at 12:13 AM, Doug Crompton <<a href="mailto:doug@crompton.com">doug@crompton.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote><div>

In the mods I made I used the built-in amplifier in the DMK-URI and had the TX level set to almost max - like 950. That seemed to work OK. If you are already doing that and have very low audio then I guess yours is different for some reason. Also if you are using 5V to power the additional amp you could try running it from the suggested 12V. In that case you would need to use an external voltage to the opamp pin on the DMK-URI. Refer to the DMK web site for schematics and suggestions. Using 12V you should be able to develop more than enough audio.<br id="ecxFontBreak"></font><font style="" face="Tahoma,sans-serif"><br></font><font style="" face="Tahoma,sans-serif">Let me know what you finally find.</font><br><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"><a href="http://www.crompton.com/hamradio" target="_blank">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</a></font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div><hr id="ecxstopSpelling">From: <a href="mailto:kd0qcn@aecimo.org">kd0qcn@aecimo.org</a><br>Date: Sat, 19 Dec 2015 22:29:08 -0600<br>To: <a href="mailto:arm-allstar@hamvoip.org">arm-allstar@hamvoip.org</a><br>Subject: Re: [arm-allstar] Yaesu DR-1X Interface<br><br><div>Hey Doug and All,</div><div id="ecxAppleMailSignature"><br></div><div id="ecxAppleMailSignature">OK, here is where I am on the interface, I followed your how to on hamvoip, the only thing I did different was I am going high on COS polarity because I didn't have the items necessary to do it and I'm an hour away from the nearest radio shack.

I did read the howto on <a href="http://hamvoip.org" target="_blank">hamvoip.org</a>. I was really wanting to use
the 15 pin connector on the back of the DR-1X. You stated in the
howto that you did not have access to the DR-1X and you were unsure
of how to interface with that 15 pin. That is what I'm trying to
figure out as we are trying to avoid cutting into the main harness
inside the repeater. Really all I need is something as simple as
pin 1 of URI to pin 2 of DR-1X etc... I was hoping someone had done
this already as I hate to re-invent the proverbial wheel.<br>

Allstar and interface that with our DR-1X repeater using a DMK
URI. The problem I am having is I am seeing some information
on the DR-1 interface but not on the DR-1X. The DR-1X uses the
15 pin plug on the back of the repeater. We are not concerned
with keeping the digital side of the repeater at this point.
Has anyone done this interface and might possibly have the
schematic of how you did it, or even something as simple as
what pins you used?<br>
