When the given bandwidth for the radio-rrc is much lower than for the control-rrc, is the following radio-setting (for example) correct?

Control:  8 - Linear 16 bits 16 kHz
Radio:    13 - IMA ADPCM 4 bits 16 kHz

Or should it be the other way round?

Regards
Dirk

The settings are for outgoing audio, so you are correct.

but quality 13 is a very hard compression and listen on HF with that compression is not funny.

Dirk,

Take a look at the message I just posted under http://www.remoterig.com/forum/index.php?topic=1380.msg5781#msg5781
It also covers pretty much what I would suggest to you.

I would also follow the manual and use the same codecs on both RRC's. If you are using the PC Client, that is a different story.

Mitch,

thank you very much for your suggestions. I will take this into account.

But the remoterig-Website also says:

... Remember that you can use different settings in Control and Radio-RRC as long as you chose two codecs with the same sample rate. This could be useful if the Internet connection is assymetrical like ADSL and many mobile systems. ...

Dirk,

Yes, the same sample rate, but some people don't understand that and do crazy things,
so I just say it is much easier to use identical codecs. However, anything above 0 is
unnecessary, unless you use using FM, ESSB or maybe some digital modes, and/or if you
have two sold high bandwidth lines (going up). I am running several remote stations, only
one is using codec 2 and the rest 0 with no complaints.

Well, that sounds really interesting!
Thanks again.
