Hi Dean I assume you mean "sounds like 1200bps packet" rather than 2400? Yeah, that is what I meant. I guess that when I was typing, my brain was faster than 1200bps AX.25! :- I doubt this is relevant but I had some issues with using the serial port for PTT under soundmodem. Ended up running setserial and turning the serial port "off" before use. (ie "uart none") I'd think though that baycom mode would be simply a "synchronous" form of transmitting to/from a standard serial port and wouldnt need to be turned off this way.. Yep, doing that. I chose to load everything as modules, instead of the kernel, so the first command in my script is "setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none". The Baycom driver is unhappy if it does not have the UART, so this is pretty much required. Since the whole thing should be synchronous at 1200bps I'd start looking for any inter bit delays that may be being introduced. This I think would be more commonly a RX rather than TX problem. I remember having an older kernel that didnt recognise the 16650 UART properly and defaulted to something without either a RX or TX buffer. Perhaps some playing with setserial will help (defining the UART type also defines whether it uses buffering. I think the kernel module allows you to change the buffer size but I havent checked this) dmesg output indicates that the UART is recognized as a 16550 and that ttyS1 is set to 1200bps when baycom_ser_fdx is loaded. You may also be able to capture the audio with your soundcard and make some hard comparisons with a spec-an etc to determine where it falls down. I have not gotten around to configuring sound on this notebook yet. If you think it may be linux version/kernel dependent try the Knoppix boot CD. I think there is also a ham radio version if AX25 support isnt in the original I do have a copy of Harv's around, I may try that. Apologies for not being more helpful Cheers Bob W5/VK2YQA All help is appreciated. Dean KD4TWJ |
