[amsat-bb] DireWolf config file question

[Pavel Milanes Costa]

Hi Steve

If you use windows you must identify the correct COM port of the 
Signalink USB (let's say COM5) and then try first with RTS and if not 
with DTR

PTT COM5 RTS

or

PTT COM5 DTR

If you use linux you must identify the correct tty (try in console: 
"tail -f /var/log/syslog" and watch it's output mean you plug your 
device) let's asume /dev/ttyUSB0

PTT /dev/ttyUSB0 RTS

or

PTT /dev/ttyUSB0 DTR

In any case if you nail the correct (RTS or DTR) but his polarity is 
inverted (TX when RX or vice versa) you have to put a minus sign before 
the signal to swap his action (-RTS or -DTR)

My 5 cents, CO7WT

BTW, what version of direwolf are you using?

The official 1.1 version has a known PTT delay issue, John and David are 
working on the next release, give a try to the next release snapshot

Windows:
http://home.comcast.net/~wb2osz/Version%201.2/direwolf-1.2-dev-B-win.zip

Linux:
http://home.comcast.net/~wb2osz/Version%201.2/direwolf-1.2-dev-B-src.zip

This release has a few bugfixes including the PTT delay calculation and 
a improved user guide, plus PTT vía LPT (Parallel port) only in linux by 
the moment.
