PAW, Dittel KRT2 and audio warnings

[Moffrestorer]

Further to my last post can you confirm that the audio signals you are trying to connect are being injected into the intercom auxiliary input? I cannot fathom why the VOX should exert any control over this path. The VOX will normally only control signals generated from the microphone inputs.

Just realised that I never gave any feedback on the solution to this! I had been using high settings on the VOX (up to maximum) in the hope that would make the PAW signal audible. Discussion with Dittel alerted me to a fact that wasn't clear in the documentation. With a VOX setting of 1 (which I hadn't tried as one would expect it to give a low volume) allowed the PAW to be heard clearly. Any VOX setting above 1 has a "squelch" (not really the right term) or limiter feature which cuts out an input below a certain signal strength. Still not sure why, if the PAW signal is at adequate volume with VOX = 1, it's not strong enough to overcome the squelch at any other setting - but it works, so who cares!

Thats great news, thanks for posting

Smaragd, what level have you got the volume set at in your PAW config screen? Sounds like you are trying to boost the volume at the radio, rather than the source. I needed to set PAW to 10, the max, for  my Funke ATR833S.

Smaragd,

Glad to hear you have got your setup working, though I would also be interested in the answer to Ian's question for future reference.

I'm pretty certain that turning up volume to max on the PAW was my first step, but I will check next time I'm at the aircraft.

Yes I was using full volume setting on the PAW. The resultant output at the headset is just right with the KRT2 set at EXT 1.

Smaragd,

That information will be very useful should anyone else find themselves with the same problem. Thanks for sharing.
