Setup split-channels #hfmodes #ax25
I'd like to setup split-channels for both Direwolf/ax25 and HF programs. Is there a easy way to accomplish that?

What 2 radios will you be using?

I will write a script so that you can easily set the ALSA controls for both radios. There are two ways to approach setting up split channel operation. I recommend reading both README.md files. 1. Manual Look at this repository README.md & follow instructions https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/split-channels 2. N7NIX repository script: Use the n7nix/splitchan repository script split_ctrl.sh to install & control split channel configuration. This script sets up left channel as AX.25/direwolf channel & right channel for HF, which is opposite of Manual approach. https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/n7nix/tree/master/splitchan I haven't used a split channel configuration for a while so I will verify the setup sometime today. /Basil n7nix Todd via groups.io <ic7461=yahoo.com@groups.io> writes:

I'm not going to use 2 radios. I have a switch box to transfer left/right channels. One side will be ax25 and the other for non ax25 programs. I'm a little confused with these procedures. Do I do either one? Is that correct? I like the second one and would work best for me. Also, I see the files /home/pi/n7nix/splitchan already. My question is how do I initiate the function of split on boot up? I am completely new at initiating scripts. Thx Todd AL7PX

Todd,
Could you please explain what you would like to do in more detail. If you have a single radio then you probably do not need to use split-channel. You can just use scripts to accomplish what you want. If you want to go between packet & some HF mode say using FLdigi then: ax25-stop # run fldigi a25-start # do some packet thing.

Split-channel is just a special case of running packet on a single audio channel leaving the other channel available for HF. I am completely new at initiating scripts. Thx Todd AL7PX

I thought it would just be easier if one connector had ax25 and the other did not. Just flip a switch over to whatever mode you want without have to do any commands too change over. The switch accepts 2 different 6 pin mini dins with a common output which would go to 6 pin mini din on back of icom 706. I mean, there are 2 connectors on the Draws board and I'd use them. Throwing a simple switch is easy. That's what I'd like to setup. Your switch channel script should be what I need to separate (0,1) left/right. Thx, Todd AL7PX
