Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorSounds like the rpi itself isn’t able to get the date. So this is probably an issue with Raspbian, your network interface, or your network. I’ve never heard of this before. Just a goofy configuration.
May check this link:

might have some good info. Maybe to do with your network interface?73,

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorNo not really. It functions like any other sound card; however, the vox circuit and relay go nuts.
Now if there was way to disable the internal vox circuit it would have all of the audio control and isolation to interface nice with the radios. It would required a simple COS and PTT circuit to interface with the GPIO pins.
With the SignaLink, no PTT data is sent over the USB just audio, the internal circuit is what controls the vox, which is optimized for digital or continuous speech.
Hope that helps.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorI am not completely sure what you mean that it “reports time to Echolink incorrectly”. Perhaps some elaboration to help me understand better.
For the time and timezone, try this KB article and see if it helps.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorHi James,
A couple things to check and consider as there are so many of these things floating around the web. First, a low audio level is not necessarily a bad thing. If you are trying to drive a speaker or headphones for testing purposes, yes this could be annoying, but if you are going to be driving the mic input on a transmitter, a lower audio level would be desirable and in may cases attenuation would need to be added inline.On the linux level, you can access the mixer by typing alsamixer at the command line. You will need to SSH into the board to access this. See the Knowledge base for instructions.
Also it might not hurt to test these on a Mac or Windows machine and see if you can get the desired output from them in a more controlled situation.
Hope this is of help.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorThanks Jamie for your interest and sorry for the late reply. This my be short at the moment because I’m trying to respond from my phone as I’ve been meaning to get back to you.
No, we haven’t really consider external CTCSS decoding. The SVXLink software supports decoding but it’s not fully implemented into ORP yet. In my opinion this is best handled by the radio itself.
As for multiple sound cards I am working on a ui for the next build. I don’t have a release date for that yet. SVXLink itself supports that though and I have a knowledge base article on how to modify the config but it would take some experimenting and reading into the SVXLink man pages.
Hope that’s a start for now. Let me know if you have any questions

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorAs it is right now, that support is not available. It could be added it will just take some work. It would involved custom coding a module that would respond to the DTMF commands and a Web interface to allow uploads of sound files. I am working on a new framework for supporting modules, but I don’t have a specific time just yet.
A work around right now would be to just record club announcements as part of the long identification, upload it and use it as a long identification, and set the long ID to every hour or so. It wouldn’t be on demand (DTMF), but would hopefully play frequently enough to not be annoying.

June 28, 2016 at 12:49 pm in reply to: RepeaterLogic: Ignoring DTMF digit "#" since the repeater is not up #1855Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorSounds like you have it backwards. It is setup to be used with an optocoupler to protect the gpio pin and electrically isolate it from the radio. On the phototransistor side, when that it illuminated it should take the gpio pin to ground (0v). When it is in active you should have resistor (about 10K) to pull the gpio pin up to the 3.3v pin. This keeps the pin from floating.
Then on the LED side of the optocoupler you would attach that COS line. So when the squelch opens, the optocoupler LED illuminates causing the phototransistor to pull the gpio to 0v.
See the hardware page for a simplified schematic.
I would try eliminating the radio, and just test using some jumpers. Be careful you don’t pull active high voltage from the 5v pin or you will fry your gpio pin and maybe your Pi.
Good Luck.
