The board is fully layed out but needs someone passionate about it to fund another board run (about $175.00).

I am trustee of Sandoval County ARES in New Mexico. (www.nmscares.org) I am in the process of redesigning our repeater system to permit linking of our 2 repeater sites. One site is in town with VHF & UHF repeaters & IC-706 remote base. The second site is on a mountaintop at ~9000' with one UHF repeater. Both are line-of-sight. I could use additional UHF XCVRs to link the sites, but I believe that Asterisk with app_rpt is a much better solution. I just completed my first evaluation of Asterisk using my personal repeater with connectivity provided by AllstarLink. I am pleased with the audio quality and linking capabilities. However, for this ARES implementation, I must have the ability to isolate the system from AllstarLink during exercises and activations. Thus, I have to determine if is possible to link nodes without going thru AllstarLink (IP to IP)? If not, is it possible to restrict access on the AllstarLink system? Secondly, would someone be willing to share module setups (xxx.conf) for a system that uses multiple repeaters and IC-706 remote base? Here is a simple diagram of the proposed system: Site 1 Site 2 (in town) (mountaintop) ----------- ------------- INTERNET Asterisk < - - - - - - -> Asterisk UHF RPTR UHF RPTR VHF RPTR Rem Base 73s Gary Gary Bonebrake W5BI Emergency Coordinator Sandoval County Amateur Radio Emergency Service w5bi at nmscares.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am trustee of Sandoval County ARES in New Mexico. (www.nmscares.org) I am in the process of redesigning our repeater system to permit linking of our 2 repeater sites. One site is in town with VHF & UHF repeaters & IC-706 remote base. The second site is on a mountaintop at ~9000' with one UHF repeater. Both are line-of-sight. I could use additional UHF XCVRs to link the sites, but I believe that Asterisk with app_rpt is a much better solution. I just completed my first evaluation of Asterisk using my personal repeater with connectivity provided by AllstarLink. I am pleased with the audio quality and linking capabilities. However, for this ARES implementation, I must have the ability to isolate the system from AllstarLink during exercises and activations. Thus, I have to determine if is possible to link nodes without going thru AllstarLink (IP to IP)? If not, is it possible to restrict access on the AllstarLink system? Secondly, would someone be willing to share module setups (xxx.conf) for a system that uses multiple repeaters and IC-706 remote base?

Is there another setting in the 706 I need to change/set to get this to work? I did manage to get a doug hall RBI working on another system a while back so I know the "RBI remote base" code works with app_rpt. But what about a IC-706 code?

I'll take a look at my config and see if I have any pointers about the serial port. In the mean time, If you want to use PL on the 706 you will need to load channels 1-32 with a frequency and a PL setting. IE: channel 1 = 146.52 67.0 Channel 2 = 146.52 71.9 etc. The frequency does not matter and it's not used. This is because the 706 will not accept PL frequencies from the serial port. So the work around was to for apt_rpt to select the matching channel number and then issue a frequency command. I'm sure someone can correct me, but this is how I remember it. I'll check on the serial port and get back to you on the list, hang in there. 73, Steve N4IRS From szingman at msgstor.com Sat Feb 5 18:43:47 2011 From: szingman at msgstor.com (Steve Zingman) Date: Sat, 05 Feb 2011 13:43:47 -0500 Subject: [App_rpt-users] IC-706 Remote Base problems In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4D4D9A63.4070500@msgstor.com> > Message: 3 > Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 21:12:24 -0700 > From: "Neil Addis (WA5JXY)" > To: app_rpt-users at ohnosec.org > Subject: [App_rpt-users] IC-706 Remote Base problems > Message-ID: > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > Several months ago I tried (several times, many many hours) to get my > IC-706MKIIG working as a remote base with no luck. > Since then I have seen a couple others ask for help and no response > from anyone yet. > > Again, has ANYONE ever gotten a IC-706MKIIG to work? > > Once again, I am trying to get it to work.

Message-ID: Finally figured out why the IC-706 wasn't talking to app_rpt. In the rpt.conf, it states the civaddr= should be a 2 digit HEX #, when actually it has to be a 2 digit DECIMAL #. The default is 88 DECIMAL, the 706 shows 58H on the display. When you convert 58H to dec it is 88. I made a note to Jim so he knows to update the documentation. Everything is working FB now, other than it refuses to accept FM mode from radioinit=, memory, or direct entry. Waiting to hear back from Jim if it is a bug in the code that tells the 706 to go to FM or what it could be. I checked all the settings in the 706. Other modes work fine. Now back to other stuff... Thanks for everyone's responses. I'll write up a FAQ on how to get it all working once I am done.

I've set up a IAX2 trunk between the two systems in hopes of being able to call the repeater from a household pbx extension in order to monitor or talk on the link. I've been able to call the repeater with the following extensions entry: [radio-secure] exten => 1234,1,rpt,27633|x but, it just keys the radio constantly and doesn't unkey unless I hang up. Is there a way to call in and monitor the link, and then key the transmitter if VOX is detected or better yet, if I press a digit on my phone to key and unkey the transmitter? Would be great to be able to bring up links, close links, etc from the phone's keypad as well.

Copy files to your PC, using freeware applications like WinSCP , or 2. Backup to the AllStar portal. WinSCP can quickly and easily copy all the /etc/asterisk files to your PC. WinSCP works a lot like any other Windows program, and instructions can be found on the WinSCP website. The AllStar portal backup method has the advantage of being offsite, on a server, which could be accessed by the primary and backup administrators for a club or repeater association. The setup and operation of that method follows: SETUP 1. Logon to the Allstar website with your callsign and website password. 2. From the menu at the top, select 'Node' and then 'Node Configuration' 3. Select the appropriate server 4. Select any node from that server 5. The AllStar Node Configuration page will show you -node number -status of the node (hopefully 'active') and -the eight digit node password. Copy the node number and node password. 6. Log off the AllStar site. 7. Use WinSCP, or any other program to access the server. 8. Goto the /etc/asterisk directory 9. Edit the 'savenode.conf' file with the information you copied from the AllStar site. A typical savenode.conf file looks like; # config file for /usr/local/bin/savenode NODE=xxxxx PASSWORD=yyyyyy ENABLE=1 Where: xxxxx is the four or five digit node number. yyyyyyyy is the eight digit password from the AllStar site If you comment the file, expect errors when setup.sh is run. It still seems to run, but you will see error messages 10. Restart Asterisk to ensure it reads the new files. USAGE 1. Log onto the node as the root administrator. 2. At the Linux prompt (#) 3. Enter the command 'savenode.sh' The console output will be similar to: [root at AST_27465_BAL ~]# savenode.sh Saving Asterisk node configuration to register.allstarlink.org File transfer successful and file verified On a multi node server, the information for all nodes is transferred to AllStar by this one operation. Information in this posting is an accumulation from the "[App_rpt-users] worthwhile asterisk/app_rpt files to back-up?" thread. Thanks to all who participated.

I'm with the Black Rock Amateur Radio Association. We currently have a solar/battery-powered UHF repeater with phone patch up on a mountaintop overlooking the Black Rock desert in Nevada. The system has a 5 GHz digit 802.11 link via a Ubiquiti NS-5 wifi radio to the town of Gerlach, about 14 miles south. The existing repeater controller is a Zetron Model 30 with phone patch. The phone patch connects to a VOIP analog telephony adapter, which sends SIP over the 5 GHz digital link down to an asterisk machine in Gerlach and thence to the rest of the world. An IRLP node radio in Gerlach connects to the UHF repeater via UHF just like any repeater user would. My thought for upgrading the system this spring is to replace the Zetron and VOIP box on the mountaintop with a dual-port repeater controller and a Beagleboard running asterisk. One port on the repeater controller would go the UHF radios, per usual, the other port goes to the Beagleboard (via either a USB URI or Lox board). Asterisk on the Beagleboard would talk IAX over the digital link to the Asterisk system in Gerlach. The IRLP node in Gerlach would also be connected directly to the Asterisk system for improved audio. And of course, the proposed system could also get us onto Echolink and Allstar. I realize that I could probably eliminate the dual-port repeater controller and just use app_rpt directly, but that removes some redundancy from the system: with both the dual-port controller and the beagleboard, if the beagleboard fails for some reason we still have a working repeater... and I've done enough 8-hour truck rolls from the bay area out to the Black Rock that I've come to appreciate having some amount of fault tolerance. :-) Very interested in any thoughts folks have around this.

The Asterisk system with the beagleboard certainly could replace the existing controller you already have up there. And it would do a very good job. However, if you feel more comfortable leaving it there, then by all means attach the Asterisk system to the second (link) port on the controller. The Asterisk system will work quite well in either configuration.

What are you attempting to do which involves AllStar? APRS? Be interested to know. There is information regarding computer and radio interfacing at the link below which should be sufficient for wiring purposes but you will need a terminal program to get the system in a running state. There are a few packet programs still out there which may do the job. WinPack perhaps. http://www.scribd.com/doc/45642323/MFJ-1270C The document covers the 1274c too. Cannot assist further but maybe someone used one before packet radio, as it used to be, died!

It also fixes an issue I discovered recently when I noted that I had received an AllStar node LINK that was identified in the log with the callsign instead of the AllStar node number. With v0.95 and below, such a LINK will not be displayed using either the "All Links" or "Allstar Links" display filters. The record would be displayed only if the "All Records" filter was used and even then was mis-formatted. I haven't had time to chase down under what circumstances the LINK is identified by callsign (perhaps IAXRPT?). In any case, I have added logic in my log parsing routines to catch this and handle it properly. Perhaps Jim Dixon knows of a change to app_rpt in the last few months that yields this sort of LINK record? The new version can be unzipped right on top of the previous version and won't affect your current configuration. If any of you have been frustrated by trying to get NodeShark running initially, this latest version should make it much easier as it's less demanding of a correct initial try at setting up your preferences. This version still only supports single or multi nodes within a single site (system). Next version I plan to add support for multi-site (in essence, multiple configurations). BIG thanks to Bob, W0NQX, for reporting the initial config problem and providing outstanding documentation that included screenshots and the problematic config file! 73's, Keith KF7DRV Allstar: 2541 Echolink: 477448 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thought I'd try this for fun all my others have been manual config and that was 6 months ago. I'm trying to get a feel and familiarity with the new system. Which so far looks absolutely awasome!! wow a LOT of work as gone on while I was away! Of course I have alreadey setup a server and a node and the node is *not* set for manual configuration. When I try to run the Allstar Portal Node Setup Script I am being told quite plainly that I'm suplying incorrect credentials. ------ Enter your Allstar Portal user id: n8lbv Enter your Allstar Portal password: Invalid username or password ------- Can you tell me exactly what credentials it's looking for and where do I find/get/change them?? I already of course have my correct credentials for the admin portal and can create servers nodes etc. The credentials for that site do not work here. Neither do my node ID and note password work here. If you could please point me in the right direction that'd be awesome!! I've pretty sure I'm obviously missing something here! I probably need to just read the directions 10 more times. A side note: Initial Portal-Generated Configuration Download This only applies to servers that are set to have the Portal generate configuration files for them. In order to configure your server to allow the Portal to generate configuration files for the server, you first must download a local configuration shell script and execute it. Please do the following: cd /tmp curl -L https://allstarlink.org/config/portalconfig.sh -o foo.sh sh foo.sh ; rm foo.sh *Seems* to be already taken care of on the latest ACID CD Image.. I've tried it both ways getting the script/running it and using the portal config prompts already supplied on the latest image.. Still stuck on the credentials issue. Thanks!

Dont get me wrong, It would be great to run App_Rpt on the 54 GL. I have a number of them. But how would you do a radio interface? I dont see any USB ports on any of my 54GLs. I'm playing around with the Intel D510 MB with a 32 G SSD and have 3 Allstar nodes running on the board with URIs in full duplex with DSP Squelch and PL. I had 4 on there and it seemed ok but the load ave hit 1.2! so I took out one node and now seems ok with the 3. Perhaps using chan_simpleUSB might clear that up. Nice low power package but cost a few bucks~($325 CDN) but solid package and yes there is a fan in the enclosure so heat doesnt seem to be a problem. But I would like to know about what you had in mind on the 54GL.

For instance...Repeater Allstar node A <--> Echolink node on Repeater B I realize that they could change out the Echolink to a asterisk and permlink the two, but, they're a bit nonplussed with the lag between end users logging into echo and the database download. Yeah, whiny users, but what can you do? Looked through the mailing list archives....basically, I'm thinking, almost like a permlink between two app_rpt boxen. Am I missing something here?

I had similar results with my P3/866, but I was hoping that a faster processor might help to eliminate the occasional "stumble" I've noticed with Allstar. Especially at the beginning of telemetry or user audio, the audio will sometimes glitch. It occasionally happens with user audio also. I've not noticed that before when I ran an IRLP or EchoIRLP system. I'm not sure if it's a USB-related phenomenon, since my previous systems have used analog sound cards, rather than USB fobs. If nodes with faster processors also have that issue, then I won't spend any more time or energy trying to upgrade my PC, or change to simpleusb, etc. I'll just live with it. I figured that if the Simpleusb would be less processor-hungry, maybe that would minimize the glitches? 73. Kyle K0KN --- Original Message --->>>also seems that the parallel port support isn't included in simpleusb? Can you confirm this? Might be really easy to get it.

I've been told it's because of how Linux and USB works (or does not work) for that matter. And I have been told the USB interface is not a production quality solution. I wish I better understood this first hand but currently do not. I have a lot of personal suspicions of what it might involve but do not have the software technical know how to test & measure the kernel & software activity going on while the audio anomolies occur.. versus while they are NOT occurring. I have a lot of those --it might be this or it might be that thoughts but nothing to back it up or do much about it at this time.. Might even be fault Asterisk itself or Zaptel interaction with the channel driver for instance :-) I am at a point where if one (or more) of the developers feels like digging in I'd happily purchase the EXACT same hardware they are developing on/working with so that I could be more helpful in troubleshooting this and reporting issues that could easily be reproduced that would happen for the devs the same way. Although I *think* this is happening across the board to some degree. (from my own testing on multiple systems and my interaction with other users) It's subtle under normal use and most operators don't notice it or it's just not service affecting enough to have become a primary concern. It's a miracle the software is here and works and as-is and that's its been made available for free and is getting constant cool & useful updates at user's requests.. That's very col & exciting. The Happiness/Grief ratio (H/G) is very high in this area :-) But yes I'd like to see the audio output to Transmitter work perfectly And work toward that end If it's possible. Or at least understand first hand what gives. I don't want to complain out here I'd like to learn something. This type of software and building on it is the present and future of Radio/TeleCommunications amateur and professional. I plan to be involved, be useful and enjoy the hell out of it. -Steve >>BTW- runing full duplex chan_usbradio on a Pentium-3 733MHz box >>I see 10%CPU continuous (RX) with spikes up to 25-30% during TX-RX-DTMF >>useage > >>That's with Top runing at a 20 sample per second rate (which eats some >> CPU >>itself mind you. > >>This seems to suggest that an 'ol Pentium-3 can cut it for this app. > >> Somebody please beat me with a baseball bat if I'm wrong!! > I had similar results with my P3/866, but I was hoping that a faster > processor might help to eliminate the occasional > "stumble" I've noticed with Allstar.

I tried a dozen different mothertboard/CPU combinations and 3 different USB fobs. I found that the faster the system the less noticeable the issues but even a 3.4 GHZ quad core still had the issues. I experimented with a lot of variables and several things made some difference but the single most significant thing that reduced the issue was stopping ntpd. I now run ntpdate 40 seconds after the hour, every hour. This keeps the date and time close enough and greatly reduces the audio glitch like sounds that I was noticing. Also I found that when the system is not under test and is using real hand held and mobile stations working through the repeater that the remaining audio glitch like sounds are indistinguishable from typical normal radio noise hits. By the way, my final choice for a system board is the D510MO. While I do not know for sure, I suspect that when ntpd makes tiny adjustments to the system time, this results in tiny glitches in the processing in the USB sound system. I am clueless how to track it down any further, and do not see any need.

I'll direct some of my focus/testing in that area of the system to see if I can influence the audio issue in any way via this.. Also I've mentioned here several times how incredible green I am with Linux kernel/software and C/C++ I'm looking over the code over & over again and at this point in my life don't know what I'm doing.. I'm willing & able to figure it out. I know it will come with time & trials.. If anybody on the list who is fluent with the code (used for this) and would be willing to sit on the phone for an hour or possibly two (not all at once) while I ask questions about how the code works.. I'd be incredibly grateful for a life time and could probably be a lot more productive here sooner. :-) I'll ask again formally for this help later on. and not only here. If someone is willing to teach.. I'm willing to learn (even pay for it). This is a worthwhile place to get good at it. :-) Awesome!!! Take care & thanks again Chuck for the pointer. -Steve > When I started using this software I noticed the audio issues in my test > environment.

Message-ID: I'm getting started on a project that will ultimately use asterisk/app_rpt to handle a repeater linking system in a fairly complex set-up. For the moment I have a simple proof-of-concept project before me, but because it's ultimately going to be a big, non-allstarlink project I really don't want to use ACID or anything other pre-packaged system that's meant to be turn-key for a simple set-up. I'm much more familiar with Debian-based systems than with Fedora/RH/CentOS systems, and so I would rather use that as the base. I've got Debian Squeeze (the current stable system) installed on an otherwise empty machine, have pulled the files.tar.gz file from the place where ACID's installer would have downloaded it, and have installed all the dependencies (libraries, dev packages for them, kernel headers, etc.). But right now I'm encountering Issues building the Zaptel kernel module that I don't quite get. Is anyone here using the app_rpt sources of Asterisk on a Debian system who might be able to help me diagnose what's going wrong with my build? The short story is that the zaptel kernel module build is behaving very much like it's not getting the kernel headers right, even though the correct headers for the kernel are installed. It doesn't complain about not finding specific files, though, it's merely dying during compilation of pciradio.c with undefined macros that are definitely present in kernel headers that it should have found. I don't want to burden the list with details unless there is interest in the solution, though. If someone else is using app_rpt on a Debian-based system, I'd love to be in contact to hash out details. -- Tom Russo? ? KM5VY?? SAR502?? DM64ux? ? ? ? ? http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM?

Never mind. Looks like the issue is just that a few files don't include (some do, some don't) and this is apparently just a difference between Lenny and Squeeze (I saw someone on the web providing a debian allstar install script that claimed to work Just Fine installing zaptel, so it must just be a change in a later kernel revision). The files needing #include are kernel/pciradio.c, kernel/wctdm.c, and kernel/zaptel-base.c Without this include, they complain about set_current_state and TASK_INTERRUPTABLE not having been declared. Since several other modules already include , it's probably a safe thing to do to make this change in the repository for zaptel, I'd wager. Some of the other kernel modules are failing to compile, one that complains abut netif_rx_schedule --- this appears to have gone away in the 2.6.32 kernel. Fortunately, I don't need the module that has that problem, and don't need to spend time finding how to fix 'em. Fixing the three above and deselecting the modules I don't need seems to get me going. -- Tom Russo? ? KM5VY?? SAR502?? DM64ux? ? ? ? ? http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM? QRPL#1592 K2#398?

I have three D510mo boxes with URIs and, on one of them, ntpdate usually kills the sound fob altogether (blinking light stops) On the other two boxes, it works without a problem. Go figure.

Since the part of the channel driver that deals with the HID interface of the USB device came from the exact same origin, it wont be that difficult to port the changes made in chan_usbradio into chan_simpleusb to support the GPIO/PP user I/O functions. The reason I never took the time to do this was that, previous to about 4 days ago, absolutely no one other them myself and a couple of other people which have configurations that I did personally have even noticed its existence, although its been in the codebase for a number of years now, and neither those people nor I have ever had any need for these functions. I am glad that people are finally discovering chan_simpleusbradio. It opens possibilities that would just never happen with chan_usbradio (and its associated system requirements). Currently, I have several rather intense projects that I am in the middle of. I will, however, make it a priority to do these changes to chan_simpleusb as soon as I can, since it's finally necessary and appropriate.

The missing includes I pointed out appear only to impact builds on the very latest system, Debian Squeeze, which uses the 2.6.32 kernel. When I get back to it this afternoon, I plan on submitting a bug report and patches to Mantis.

Message-ID: <4D606391.9090201@bdboyle.com> So...I'm going to show stupidity here. Nothing new...so bear with me, please. Anyway...looking to use the DMK dongle to key a radio whose PTT is a simple key to ground. Think normal HF or vhf rig like a 7900 or even a KenYaeCom HT, where the ptt basically closes a circuit. Hooking up a meter between ground (pin 20) and pin 1 (PTT) on the DMK, and issuing a command to key the dongle gives me close to a 0 ohm reading, but not quite; still at about 10 ohms. (and I know how to hook up a meter...fwiw, it's a simpson 260, not a digital, so, I can see the needle swing...). This obviously is not what I'm looking for. Yes, I know what the circuit is rated for (not much) and it's an open collector... So, the question is...is this pin basically a contact closure (which IS what I'm looking for), or some other logic level that I'll have to convert? If so...any pointers or ? I freely admit that digital logic (or lack thereof...) especially at this level (pretty basic, huh?) escapes me...but am willing to learn. TIA.

It works fine for radios that use logic-level kinds of signals. That is the vast majority of ham radios.

Relays...now, that's something I can sink my teeth into...turn on the mic here in my broadcast recording studio, and you can hear them clunking all over the place...shutting off speakers and turning on 'On Air' lights. Guess it's time to pick up a small 12V relay, 2n4401, couple diodes (need to replace the rectifier bridge on a VU meter, too...) and get the iron warmed up.. Which one would you prefer for the ptt line off the dongle?

This is *still* happening but not all the time or consistently.. But sometimes and very noticeably the audio pops occur at the same time app_rpt sends it's stats. I did however recently find another test where I can cause the audio dropout to occur about 90% of the time which is far more consistent than waiting for app_rpt to do it's stat push. By running hdparm -t In my case it's: hdparm -t /dev/ida/c0d0p1 Just as the program exits it makes the audio popping.. *almost* every time. Oddly ad frustratingly it's *almost* every time.. Not really sure why 10% of the time it doesn't happen.. But be come kind of narrow timing window thing going on here. But *where*? Especially if you wait 5-10 seconds (or more) before running it again. This is the ONLY way in 2 years I've been able to induce the popping myself from a test. Otherwise it happens randomly as mentioned previously. A couple quick related notes is that the problem does *not* occur when running hdparm -T instead (buffer speed test) Nor when you manually flush the drive cache by running the sync command. Other activities that test the hard drive (large file copies etc.) do not induce the problem. That test is on a SCSI RAID5 array server.. Not tried it on a plain jane IDE system yet hdparm -t /dev/ida/c0d0p1 (Makes 3-4 definite audio pops in succession on exit) /dev/ida/c0d0p1: Timing buffered disk reads: 72 MB in 3.06 seconds = 23.56 MB/sec [root at MBB001 ~]# [root at MBB001 ~]# [root at MBB001 ~]# [root at MBB001 ~]# hdparm -T /dev/ida/c0d0p1 /dev/ida/c0d0p1: (no pops EVER) Timing cached reads: 776 MB in 2.00 seconds = 388.05 MB/sec -Steve > Hi Chuck.. > > My box (pretty much a fresh ACID install) does not even have NTPD > running on it. > > What I did try was running the heck out of ntpdate which has absolutely > no effect whatsoever on the audio as it does it's thing syncing the clock. > > I've done a LOT of other 'similar' tests like this over the past year > trying to find something that influences the behavior or induces it to > occur. > > While I was at it I also ran just for kicks. > > Again about anything I can think of does not cause the issue to surface.. > It just does it on it's own seemingly randomly. > > In it's little subtle irritating way :-) > > And just for convenience... a video from Nov 14 2009. > > Radio Key command listening to PL and the issue. :-) > > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqYwhtuVLDs > > > > -Steve > > > > > > > > >> Why not run ntpd and keep your clock in sync all the time instead of >> once an hour :) >> >> Jim, K6JWN >> >> On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 01:09:17AM -0600, Chuck Henderson >> said: >> >>> When I started using this software I noticed the audio issues in my >>> test >>> environment.

Referring to http://www.zapatatelephony.org/linux.html "Also, at system startup, hdparm must be run with the -c1 -d1 -u1 flags. This enables 32 bit I/O, DMA, and the unmaskinterrupt flag. This allows the IDE driver not to interfere with the tormenta driver." Now, after 11 years, it hasnt changed too much. The "tormenta" driver was renamed the "Zaptel" driver and then renamed the "DAHDI" driver, and people are more likely to be using the SCSI (SATA) driver, but the issue is just as valid. Try doing that. I bet that you wont have any more problems with hdparm -t anymore. I sure "tormented" many Linux boxes with hdparm -t a long time ago. :-) JIM WB6NIL > Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2011 12:53:09 -0500 > From: steve at michiganbroadband.com > To: steve at michiganbroadband.com > CC: app_rpt-users at ohnosec.org; yokshs at sbcglobal.net > Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Beagleboard and USB URI dongle > > OK, looking back through my old notes I have a note that mentions that the > audio drop occurs *sometimes* while apt_rpt is doing it's HTTP data > reporting to allstarlink.. > > This is *still* happening but not all the time or consistently.. > But sometimes and very noticeably the audio pops occur at the same time > app_rpt sends it's stats. > > > I did however recently find another test where I can cause the audio dropout > to occur about 90% of the time which is far more consistent than waiting > for app_rpt to do it's stat push. > > By running hdparm -t > > In my case it's: > > hdparm -t /dev/ida/c0d0p1 > > Just as the program exits it makes the audio popping.. > *almost* every time. > > Oddly ad frustratingly it's *almost* every time.. > Not really sure why 10% of the time it doesn't happen.. > But be come kind of narrow timing window thing going on here. > But *where*? > > Especially if you wait 5-10 seconds (or more) before running it again. > > > This is the ONLY way in 2 years I've been able to induce the popping > myself from a test. > Otherwise it happens randomly as mentioned previously. > > A couple quick related notes is that the problem does *not* occur > when running hdparm -T instead (buffer speed test) > > Nor when you manually flush the drive cache by running the sync command. > > Other activities that test the hard drive (large file copies etc.) do not > induce the problem. > > That test is on a SCSI RAID5 array server.. > Not tried it on a plain jane IDE system yet > > hdparm -t /dev/ida/c0d0p1 (Makes 3-4 definite audio pops in succession on > exit) > > /dev/ida/c0d0p1: > Timing buffered disk reads: 72 MB in 3.06 seconds = 23.56 MB/sec > [root at MBB001 ~]# > [root at MBB001 ~]# > [root at MBB001 ~]# > [root at MBB001 ~]# hdparm -T /dev/ida/c0d0p1 > > > > > > /dev/ida/c0d0p1: (no pops EVER) > Timing cached reads: 776 MB in 2.00 seconds = 388.05 MB/sec > > > -Steve > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi Chuck.. > > > > My box (pretty much a fresh ACID install) does not even have NTPD > > running on it. > > > > What I did try was running the heck out of ntpdate which has absolutely > > no effect whatsoever on the audio as it does it's thing syncing the clock. > > > > I've done a LOT of other 'similar' tests like this over the past year > > trying to find something that influences the behavior or induces it to > > occur. > > > > While I was at it I also ran just for kicks. > > > > Again about anything I can think of does not cause the issue to surface.. > > It just does it on it's own seemingly randomly. > > > > In it's little subtle irritating way :-) > > > > And just for convenience... a video from Nov 14 2009. > > > > Radio Key command listening to PL and the issue. :-) > > > > > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqYwhtuVLDs > > > > > > > > -Steve > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >> Why not run ntpd and keep your clock in sync all the time instead of > >> once an hour :) > >> > >> Jim, K6JWN > >> > >> On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 01:09:17AM -0600, Chuck Henderson > >> said: > >> > >>> When I started using this software I noticed the audio issues in my > >>> test > >>> environment.

One of my 6 nodes no longer appears on the Allstar active nodes list http://stats.allstarlink.org/ Nothing has changed on my end. I've made sure that the stanza for node status reporting is uncommented in rpt.conf. This server is running 3 nodes, 2210-2212 and 2210,2212 show up. The node reporting stanzas are identical on all 3 nodes. I can use 2211 as before, it will successfully connect to other stations, etc, but does not display correctly if connected to another station.

Use of this type of device does NOT provide an acceptable level of quality, and, in fact, does not even qualify as minimum technical requirements for participation on the Allstar Link Network. If you want to implement such a thing on your own private network, that's your business. However, I have no intention of providing or facilitating any sort of encouragement for you to do so. If your or anyone else's opinion differs from this, that your right, but Im not even interested in hearing about it, and will not tolerate any 'whining' regarding this on this list. I'm not being a jerk, I am simply ensuring a maximally high-quality experience for all Allstar users, and this is an area in which there will be no compromising. That being said, the problem with your compile seems to be in the 'editline' package that is distributed with Asterisk. You may just have to start all over, but you might try to go into the 'editline directory' and 'make clean' and './configure', then go to the top of the Asterisk source tree and 'make install' again. I dont know if this will help, but its worth a try.

I've worked my way through the need for a COS pull-up resistor, but I can't seem to get the audio right. After setting proper deviation, I hear what sounds like a lot of computer-generated hash on the transmitter and a 'ghost' signal from a local commercial broadcast station in the background. I suspect that one of my problems is not using shielded cable from the Quad Card to the ICOMs. I could not find the appropriate shielded cable locally, so I had hoped to get by by sacrificing an old twisted-pair jumper. I crimped on a new RJ-45 with the following pin-outs: ICOM Receiver Discriminator Audio (330 mVRMS @ 100 k ohms --> Pin 1Quad Radio RJ-45 ICOM Tramsmitter (Radio Modulation IN) (330mV RMS) --> Pin 7 Quad Radio RJ-45 ICOM PTT --> Pin 5 Quad Radio RJ-45 ICOM COS (when radio is properly programmed and a pull-up resistor is used) --> Pin 2 Quad Radio RJ-45 ICOM Ground --> Pin 8 RJ-45 RX de-emphasis jumper is enabled and the best results seem to be obtained with TX pre-emphasis enabled (even though it is not recommended). I will be ordering shielded cable for RJ-45s Monday, but is there anything else I have missed? Thanks for any suggestions.

Try a 20:1 attenuator on the input capacitor to ground on the radio side. And crank up the TX audio to get the same deviation on the TX without the attenuator. 2.If the computer is powered from the same +13.8V source as the radio you might have a ground loop which could be causing the computer hash issue. Try powering the computer from a separate power source to see if what you have is a ground loop. The reason why the Pre-emphasis setting is not recommended is there is no limiting on the Quad Radio PCI card.

Then I set the ports on the router. Then later on I change the node to an static IP. Adjust the router accordingly to open the ports for the static IP. When the box is set up for DHCP, usually your ISP DNS servers are listed in the resolv.conf file. When I change the box to Static ip, the resolv.conf file is cleared out. At this point I put into the resolv.conf open DNS servers that are ISP neutral. That way when the node gets moved to its new home it wont matter what ISP its on (as long as the router its connected to gets a public IP). The other problem is if I set it up on my ISP dns in the resolv conf file then move it to new location and different ISP, the nameservers from my home may not work and the node wont report properly. So this is why I use the "open DNS " name servers. It usually resolves quite nicely. Put these in your resolv.conf file: open DNS servers nameserver 208.67.222.222 nameserver 208.67.220.220 Jon VA3RQ On 2/27/2011 5:21 PM, Corey Dean wrote: > I have been noticing on different nodes that lose an internet connection that the dnstool in asterisk itself starts actiing up and can't resolve the allstarlink host, yet the system can.

I recall now that this particular PC does have power saving features that typically need to be disabled in the linux kernel ("acpi=off" or "noacpi" or somesuch in grub) for it to be well behaved. I will try it tomorrow and let the list know how it turns out, but (knock on wood) I'm pretty sure this is it. Thanks!
