So the audio squelch was indeed the issue. Not sure why my noise floor has crept up (audio is fed from a Motorola mobile) but the squelch slider was also somehow pushed way down. Once I adjusted that, life is good again.

Is anybody here who is rocking TTD on a Raspberry Pi offloading their audio and log files to a different location? If so, how are you doing it?

I've rebuilt my Pi too many times now due to SD card corruption. I've decided to try to lock down the OS partition and offload the audio recording and log files in an effort to reduce write cycles to the card. I'll likely also set up a CRON job to copy my cfg files out to the same location so I don't have to rebuild them in the event of another crash.

Is it worthwhile just trying to install TTD in it's entirety to a location like a mounted USB device?

USB 1.0 would be sufficient for using an external card. Don't use the debug version and you won't have so many log writes.

v74h is now available via the IaR form (website link to the form is still down, I'm not sure when it will be back up).

Release Notes:
  • Bug fix for audio level bar on GUI not handling zero values from sound card correctly
  • Change the way the browser GUI is launched to accommodate Raspberry Pi OS changes
  • Improvements to SSL certificate handling in Windows
  • Added 64 bit RaspiOS binary build in addition to 32 bit

There's not a great step by step specifically for Ubuntu. There is a PDF in the download that has some instructions for a Raspberry Pi, and that should be a pretty good start for Ubuntu also. All of the docs are pretty old and could use a refresh, it's been on my to-do list for a long time. You can kind of brute force it by trying to run it and when you get errors, install the dependencies that it's complaining about until it runs.

I am currently using ver 74c on a windows PC. I would like to exclude multiple time segments if possible. I see where you enter one on the tones.cfg interface. The reason is the agency I'm monitoring tests 4 times daily at 06:30 08:00 12:00 and 18:00 and i would like to ignore those. I tried entering 4 separate duplicate entries with those times excluded ( ie 06:28 to 06:32) but not sure that is working. Well it is working but I'm not sure it lets the real tones at normal times thru. Would it work or be better to have ONE entry and multiple exclusions in the tones.cfg file. OR is this action just not possible ?

That's not really possible, it's only designed to handle one time period per day.

All, maybe you can help us, we have had this program for a while running on a old computer. It was working fine till the old computer died. Now we have a newer computer, but having audio issues. When we plug the sound into the new computer, it's not picking up like the old computer did. We need to turn our Microphone on and have the sound from the page go through external speakers from the scanner so that the microphone picks it up on the computer. Unfortunately, it also picks up everything else in the desk area including the echo, so our sound isn't the greatest and sometimes doesn't give us the page. What are we doing wrong with the sound card on the computer? The only two options in audio input device is "Microsoft sound mapper" and "Microphone Array(Realtek High)" Any help on this would be great....sorry if these are dumb questions....

I guess my first question is what port are you plugging the scanner audio cable into? If this is a desktop computer, your best bet would be the pink 3.5mm jack on the rear of the PC. When you plug it in and go to device settings, you should see the audio activity as things happen on the radio. Right click whatever input is active and mark it as default. Reboot the computer just in case and make sure the software is set to the same input.

Disable the array and then enable line-in.

Taskkill the executable and then restart it with a batch file.

Yes. Create a bash script that moves the audio file and does whatever else you need it to. Trigger the script with the post_email_command. Easier said than done but well worth the effort.

Anytone having issues with it sending emails? Everything was just fine until yesterday and I haven't received an email since, but it has decoded the tones.

I'm not sure how that works. Are there steps?
