GRBAlpha - How to use digipeater or DNxD - 07. Settings of soundmodem

I use "Direwolf" because my PC for HAM activity is working on Linux now. But as many people use Windows, I explain the setting of "Soundmodem" for GRBAlpha first.

"Soundmodem" is develped by UZ7HO. I used my Windows10 tablet PC with "Soundmodem" as a TNC for 1200bps uplink or downlink. You must use "High-Speed Soundmodem" for 9600bps of GRBAlpha. You can get the information and download from here: http://uz7.ho.ua/packetradio.htm

I explain here only about the additional settings other than default settings.

For select "G3RUH", choose "Modems" in the "Settings" menu.

You will see "Modems settings" window. Select "FSK G3RUH 9600bd" at "Mode" of "Modem type ch: A" and "Modem type ch: B", and click "Ok".

Then you have to restart High-Speed Soundmodem. You will see "FSK G3RUH 9600bd" on the top.

Additionally, you have to enable "KISS Server Port" for using my application, "GRBAlphaMessenger". I will explain this application later.

For enable it, choose "Devices" in the "Settings" menu.

You will see "Settings" window. Check in the check box on the right of "KISS Server Port 8100". And choose your COM port for PTT, because you can transmit packet data with some tranceivers, like FT-847, only when you activate to PTT port of rear "PKT" connector. In this case, of course, you have to use some PTT adapter for your PC, and connect the adapter to PTT port of your tranceiver.

Then restart High Speed Soundmodem.
