Hello all, 

I'm hoping someone has some fresh ideas for me.  I am trying to get WOAD to work.  Setup is;

S25 or Moto G Power (2025) -> digirig -> ft-8800.   No matter what I do, I cannot get the gateway to respond.  If I unplug the phone and plug the digirig back into my computer, I am immediately able to connect through on packet winlink.  When using the phone and monitoring on a second radio, I can clearly hear the transmission going out.  I have tried adjusting all the parameters, to include volume levels and tx delay to no avail.  Anybody had any experience with this just not working?

Separately, I was trying to do HF packet via my x6100 to see if I could at least get that to work, but WOAD says no RMS gateways in config (packet, 300bps AFSK.)  

For both, I have tried everything short of deleting and reinstalling, but with two separate devices, I do not believe that to be an issue.  Radio squelch is all the way down and, again, both radios tx and complete winlink handshake without issue when phone/woad is replaced with laptop/winlink, with no further radio setting adjustments.

I have been at this for a few days trying to get it to work, could appreciate some insight or fresh advice.  TIA.

Yup so for VHF packet I've tried those settings, and thank you for the input. 

Using a second radio, I am able to hear that I am in fact transmitting data.   It is isolated on the left channel, but I have still tried both as a setting. 

I also forgot to mention that I am using an OTG adapter on the phone, but obviously it doesn't seem to be hardware related as it immediately works when I replace the phone with the computer.  For some reason, there seems to be an issue specifically with the audio from WOAD.  I assumed it would be a tx delay issue, but adjusting that across the full range has no effect.
