Connecting a Yaesu DR-1X to AllStarLink is no as simple as with other radios or repeaters. The easiest way to do it is using a DMK Engineering URIxB card.
The DR-1X needs an external tone generator connected when used in BASE station mode while using the accessory port.
Audio and signaling Cable
First thing you have to do is a cable to connect DR-1X and the URIxB as follows.

|---|---|---|---|
| DR-1X | URIxB | ||
| Pin | Use | Pin | Use |
| 1 - 5 | Mode (Connect to pin 5) | ||
| 2 | PTT | 1 | |

| 5 | Gnd (Connect to pin 5) | N/C | |

| 7 | Audio In | 22 | Left Audio Out |
| 9 | Audio Out | 21 | Mic In |
| 10 | Gnd | 13 | Gnd |
Connect your repeater, custom cable, URIxB, USB cable and Raspberry Pi or AllStarLink computer to be used.
Repeater Configuration
Configure your repeater with the frequency you are going to use, Rx tone and do not set/enable a Tx tone (even if you setup one, it will not work on BASE mode), set deviation to Wide and disable Remote.
AllStarLink Configuration
It is assumed that you are familiar with AllStarLink ssh logging and menu. So I will not explain that here.
sudo asl-menu
Select Node Setting, next Add or Edit and node with your Node Number, Password, Callsign, and select USB Radio (DSP) driver.
Apply changes, and go to the Expert Configuration menu.
Edit usbradio.conf file adding the following parameters to your node stanza:
Here, replace 100.0 with your repeater Tx tone Save your file.
Restart Asterisk.
Have fun.
