Transmit Problems - Sound Card Packet
3. When I send a packet I can see on my radio that the PTT
has been opened and the radio is transmitting, but I can't
connect with another station. It's as if no one is hearing my
packets.
Maybe they aren't hearing you.
First if you can -- get a second radio ( such as a hand held) or
a friend with a second radio. (See Check Your TX Audio below
if you can't). Move both radios to an unused frequency and
use the second radio to listen to the packets your first radio is
transmitting. (And it's always wise to first check that the
second radio is working OK and that it can hear other
stations' packets, e.g. the radio isn't set for tone squelch.)
Confirm on the second radio that your first radio is
transmitting 1.) a carrier and 2.) packet tones.
If you don't hear any thing on the second radio, even a carrier,
check the first radio as outlined on the Troubleshooting
Receive Problems page.
If you hear a carrier but no outgoing packet tones:
Make sure the TX Audio LINE OUT cable is plugged in
tightly at both the radio and sound card. (This
happened to me when I temporarily hooked up the
computer speakers for a test and forgot to change
back for AGWPE.)
Re-check the Windows Volume control settings for
playback (TX audio). Make sure the master "Volume
Control" setting and the "Wave" setting are not muted
in the Playback window. Also try moving the volume
sliders up higher, even all the way to the top.
(Remember that if you have more than one sound card,
you need to pick the correct Mixer Device (sound card)
before adjusting the Playback settings, i.e. adjust the
sound card AGWPE is using!)
