Yes, you did. Between my YAM and an USCC card. Anyway, I solved part of
the problem reducing a bit the delay. A problem was found with slottime in
the YAM driver.
Anyway, now I having 50% packet loss with PING (5secs interval). This is
the other problem. With TCP/IP I have paket loss. With AX.25 I see
REJects.
I think my YAM is producing noise mixed with the audio signal. I don't
know how to solve it.
