Digirig Lite Setup Issues - S24 and PTT

Hi all,

I would like to share my experience with the Digirig Lite and ask for advice.

Firstly, the Digirig Lite and the accompanying cable are built extremely well and are worth the cost. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the build.

However, I have run into a few issues that are not necessarily related to the Digirig Lite itself.
Most of it already discussed here and online.

Here is my setup:

APRSdroid > Samsung Galaxy S24 > Digirig Lite >Baofeng Cable > Wouxun KG-Q10H

Issue 1: Galaxy S24 Detection

The Digirig Lite is not being detected as an audio device by my Galaxy S24. I have tried disabling USB audio routing and configuring USB mode using the dial code *#0808#, but no luck. It seems like Samsung might have removed this feature in hopes of selling more accessories. I can confirm that the Digirig works with my older Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G. Has anyone had success with making the Digirig Lite work with the latest Samsung phones, such as the Galaxy S24?

Issue 2: PTT Feature

When using my Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and APRSdroid, I can receive APRS signals, but the radio will not transmit. I have tried using the VOX setting, but still no luck. The audio cable is well-fitted. If I manually press the PTT button on the radio while sending APRS from APRSdroid, it works, but it’s not very convincing. Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Digirig Lite is a great kit, but you may run into a few challenges that are not necessarily related to the Digirig itself.

Any help or suggestions about the Galaxy S24 support and PTT issues would be greatly appreciated. 73 from Ludz.

Issue 2 Solved

It turns out that my Wouxun KG-Q10H has two PTT buttons that I customised in the settings. This customization somehow confuses the PTT mic on the radio, disabling the PTT feature (even on the headset piece).

After contacting support from BuyTwoWayRadios (the radio supplier), they identified the issue within a few minutes over online chat. Now my DigiRig Lite works as expected with my older Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. Still no luck on the S24 though.

Hope this helps!
