Soundcard packet
Following the suggestions from Mark (KE4QKT) I reduced the start script
to a simple :-
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/soundmodem /etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf -R -M /dev/null
2>/dev/null&
sleep 1
The axports is now :-
/etc/ax25/axports
sm0 vk4akm-8 1200 255 2 radio (1200bps)
The relevant part of /etc/ax25/soundmodem.conf contains:-
pkt mode = "mkiss"
ifname = "sm0"
hwaddr = "vk4akm-8"
ip = "44.136.149.11"
netmask = "255.255.255.0"
broadcast = "44.136.149.255"
file = "/dev/soundmodem0"
unlink = "1"
<mode mode="afsk" bps="1200" f0="1200" f1="2200" diffenc="1"/>
<demode mode="afsk" bps="1200" f0="1200" f1="2200" diffdec="1"/>
After rebooting the system, I set the volume controls using the Gnome
Volume Control routine.
Sudo sh doham (the start script) to start the soundmodem and then in a
second terminal window
sudo listen -a -p sm0.
I can observe and decode packets off air in this listen window.
If I use the command "Call sm0 vk4rar" the local digi (vk4rar) will
respond but nothing is decoded in either the listen window or terminal
window which just reports
it is trying.
( I can also observe the traffic off air on my normal winpac terminal
(which I am trying desperately to pension off)
Any ideas please.
Ken
