I have a setup of Android phone<>usb-c to usb-c<>digirig<>home rolled cable per K0TX spec<>Baofeng UV-5R<>rooftop discone antenna for testing.
In WoAD I am able to get the uV-5R to xmit, yet my outbox has messages remaining after the xmit event. I also have a second UV-5R that I am monitoring with and can hear a noise burst when the WoAD UV-5R xmits.
I’m new to WinLink but shouldn’t there be some kind of syn/ack that takes place? Shouldn’t WoAD be listening to any traffic on the frequency and give an indication when it receives?
All I am seeing in the WoAD logging is:
node I’m trying to reach < my call [last] C|R=Command U_SetAsyncBalanceMode P=1
Google searching for same did not come up with pertinent info.
I’m not seeing anything else in the logging except for when I manually start/stop the session. I have every logging function enabled to help look for clues.
I am running Dan’s recommended settings from this thread with no luck.
This after trying all WoAD default settings.
As an aside I was successful in getting digirig to work with APRSdroid, so I’m fairly confident in the hardware (digirig, cable, radio). I feel this is a settings issue I’m missing, but the lack of logging is not giving me a direction to look. I have also been successful in sending messages from WoAD with tlenet.
Winlink node is ~2 miles away. I’m hopeful that an HT with roof mounted antenna can hit this but maybe I am too far away? Maybe I’ll go over and sit outside the node since this setup is portable?
Kinda at a loss here. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
