I've made a few tests more and found out that the strange behaviour is related to the noise in the received signal. When fldigi decodes a <BEL>i then pskmailserver prints out <SOH>vE681<EOT> activates PTT without sending any data and PTT stays activated until I pressed the TUNE or T/R button in fldigi. If i deactivate SQL in fldigi it happens more often than when SQL is turned on.

Rein,

the CAT interface contains no VOX control circuit . PTT is generated by
RTS signal from the integrated USB/RS232 converter ( FT232RL). It's
connected with pin 3 of the ACC port at the IC706MKIIG.

The transceiver CAT control is no problem, when I use the jpskmail
1.5.29 client with fldigi > 3.21.76.

Jürgen, how does the interface produce PTT? Via a VOX circuit in the interface? Or does the interface use the RS232 pins to make PTT? Rein EA/PA0R/P

Jürgen,

how does the interface produce PTT?  Via a VOX circuit in the interface?
Or does the interface use the RS232 pins to make PTT?

Hi,
I've installed pskmail_server-2.1.n at a Debian 7.2 wheezy system,
Kernel 3.2.51-1 64. for testing. It starts up so far and sends the APRS
beacons via Internet. After a while it sends a APRS beacon via radio
link as well but after this task has finished PTT shuts off for a few
seconds and then PTT is aktivated again without sending any data. It
don't shut off agin and stays aktivated until I press the "TUNE" button
in fldigi twice.

Rig:ICOM IC-706MKIIG
CAT Interface with build in soundcard: FA-USB-TRX-Interface (
http://http://www.adl303.oevsv.at/technikecke/one/BX-120.pdf )

Any idea what could be wrong ?
