On the Raspberry Pi 4 - the alsamixer settings can be seen by selecting F6 and picking the USB sound card. Once that is done, use the tab key until all four sliders are shown. The sliders of interest are the Speaker (#1) and the Mic Capture (#3). The settings:-

Speaker 56
Mic 83
Mic Capture 100
AGC "MM"

I think "MM" is muting, which you trigger with the "M" key.

On the RT-95, volume level is set to 12.

The screened direwolf process is started in /etc/rc.local which runs it as root with the line:-

Code: Select all

screen -dm direwolf -c /home/pi/direwolf.conf

Note that in order to get SSH running on headless set ups - you will need to create a file called "SSH" in the boot directory.

For the digipeater, check pi@ port 60023

Use "screen -r" to reattach to the screen, and "ctrl-A" followed by "D" to detach.
