DigiRig Lite & Linux

Hardware details: computer running newest version of Kubuntu, Direwolf, Yaesu FTM-150-RASP, DigiRig Lite with Yaesu FTM MiniDin10 Cable - 1200 baud audio + PTT

I’ve gone through the whole setup procedure but when I start Direwolf, the radio keys up and transmits a tone and doesn’t stop. Perhaps I have something wrong in the settings? The PTT is set to COM108. I tried setting up as VOX and had the same issue.

This is all new to me, so I’m a little ignorant to all of this. The goal is to play around with Packet radio.

Let me know if more information is needed. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Try only connecting Digirig Lite and leaving radio unconnected.
Following the full reboot/restart, does Digirig Lite red LED still turn on indicating active PTT and later turn off at the end of transmission cycle in the software?

Yes, even when unplugged from the radio, the PTT light turns red and stays on for approximately 55 seconds until Direwolf automatically closes. Same timeframe as when plugged into the radio.

I figured out the issue; I was launching Direwolf with a “-x a” suffix, which is a test mode that transmits a tone. Stupid error on my part.

All good now!
