You would have to synchronize the audio to the vicinity of 1 -10 microseconds probably - not 125 microseconds. RF propagation might cause this much delay . hmmm, I see the problem. The problem with decoding at the remote receivers (as I understand it) is that, if the error exceeds the correctable number of bits, you don't know you have an error. If the error is correctable - well, then why switch ? A conundrum. I suppose if you had zero error bits in one receiver and some small amount in the other receiver (2 or 3 bits in a frame - something correctable) you would want to switch the receiver that had the zero errors on the theory that the *next* frame is less likely to be trash. But there is no guarantee . the next good data frame might be coming from the receiver that had errors with the current data frame.

My three PC's are on port 4567, 4568 and 4569 so the address I am calling is (for example) 69.243.53.nnn:4568 (I will leave three digits nnn to your imagination) The "name" is the Asterisk node number of course . some of the systems have more than one Asterisk node at the same IP:port For the web transceiver - look for a typo in externsions.conf (extra semicolon) [allstar-public] Presumably, you have web transceiver access enabled in the Portal since it works from elsewhere?

I never got any replies. Eventually I found that I could run the whole thing as a Linux script with interspersed "sleep" commands and make it all work properly - like this ..... ..... /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 27021 *4533" ; remote command for 53MHz node sleep 5 /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 27021 *6601#" ; put node 533 into bulletin mode (SS1) sleep 5 /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun 27021 *9913" ; play the recording sleep 22m (this last one plays ARRL Audio News). ..... ..... This worked reliably when called from crontab, but there was no way to run it from DTMF. Recently, I found out about the "cmd" instruction - I thought "aha!) 9911=cmd,/usr/local/sbin/do_arrl.sh But it seems that the script calls asterisk (from within asterisk) the whole thing goes into some sort of infinite loop. It does seem to have executed the asterisk -rx calls at least 5 times before things went pear shaped. So: is this the expected behavior? Is there a command line option on the asterisk calls that can avoid the problem? Is there a different way to accomplish this?

This is the low band, high band, UHF, and 800 MHz MaxTrac service manual that covers the MGA, MJA, MQA, MWA and AHA models. If you ever pop a cover on any of those models then you want this book on your shelf... it's chock full of good stuff. You occasionally see these books on eBay and the other auction sites. Until then...Part 1 Pages 001 thru 058 4.3 MB PDFPart one has the manual index, model charts, assembly breakdown tables, performance spec tables, options, general information, block diagrams and the front panelsPart 2 Pages 059 thru 081 15.4 MB PDFPart 2 has all of the Logic boards including the HLN5172, HLN5173, HLN9123 and HLN9313.Part 3 Pages 082 thru 125 41.4 MB PDFPart 3 has all of the RF boards including the HLB4099 (29.7-36), HLB4100 (36-42), HLB,4101 (42-50), HLD4321 (136-162), HLD4322B (146-174), HLD4322C (144-174), HLE9310 (449-470), HLE4424 (?), HLE4425 (403-430), HLF4095B (800 non-talkaround, single VCO), HLF9122A (talkaround, dual VCO).Part 4 Pages 126 thru 163 17.1 MB PDFPart 4 has the PA deck info, radio disassembly / assembly procedures and the exploded parts listsTotal download of the MaxTrac service manual is 75.3 MB.Originally this book arrived as a shrink-wrapped pile of 3-hole punched pages - you had to provide your own thick 3-ring binder. The shrink-wrapped stack was slightly over 2 inches tall. Personally, I used a 3.5" (ring diameter) binder to hold this W84 manual, a 900 MHz Trunked manual (complete with the 30 watt Power Amplifier Supplement), a DeskTrac manual, an RSS manual, some web page printouts, and a dozen sheets of 3-hole punched paper with some modification and programming notes.

If you look at [allstar-public] in extensions.conf, I think you'll find it is making the CALLERID call. I.e., my [allstar-public] stanza says in extensions.conf says: exten => s,1,Ringing exten => s,n,Set(RESP=${CURL(https://register.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/authwebpho ne.pl?${CALLERID(name)})}) exten => s,n,Set(NODENUM=${CALLERID(number)}) exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${RESP:0:1}" = "?"]?hangit) exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${RESP:0:1}" = ""]?hangit) exten => s,n,GotoIf($["${RESP:0:5}" != "OHYES"]?hangit) Does yours look different than that? You can see in your console output that you helpfully included that the second line (the CURL call, [s at allstar-public:2]) is resolving to "OHYES" in your case but, sadly, to "???" in my case. I should note that I have launched the web transceiver from my N6TCT account on allstarlink.org.

Jim figured out what the problem is -- it's related to the fact that the machine I'm running the app_rpt hub on has multiple IP addresses (it's a server in a colo facility). In essence, the registration with the allstarlink server ends up coming from a different IP address than the one used for carrying on an IAX conversation. I am working to address this on my end ... I'll post a note when I have it all working. Thanks for your help!

I have been MAJORLY busy with a lot of other stuff lately (like the VOIP Voter/Simulcast stuff, etc). In addition, the latest code for chan_usbradio now supports the URIx (the new version of the URI that DMK is now shipping) which has 7 available GPIO pins on it. Things just have not been easy for me lately. Life has been rather overwhelming. I really dont know what to say as far as realistically when this can happen, but I will sure try to make it happen as soon as possible.

Message-ID: <49837.98.250.154.100.1307820955.squirrel@iridium7.michiganbroadband.com> Hi, I have a couple of boxes that are out at tower sites WITHOUT any type of Internet access.. I can go out there for a day with my cell/EVDO Internet access and get these boxes on the Internet temporarily. Being that they are 1 and 1.5 year OLD installs of ACID I'm wondering if there is a *quick* way via scripts or already existing method of bringing these systems up-to-date without having to re-align all of the radio settings having to re-write the config files etc. I figure things have changed enough in 1.5 years (usb naming) & the like that I really am going to need to pull the hardware take it back to base and re-do from scratch.. The old systems have some kind of what I *think* is a software bug where the repeater frequently goes into some kind of unplanned repeat disable mode for 30-60 seconds especially after recieving a 'noisey' signal.. We've just been living with the problem for a long time because I know I need to try again with software that is up to date which may fix the issue. -Steve Michigan Broadband Systems Inc.

Then you will have all the site-specific hardware-related configurations that can be copied onto the new install. You can always load ACID onto new drives at home, "stage" it on a system there at home to verify its functionality, then take the drive up to the remote location and install it.

I have tried removing the audio connectors from the BB and listening with a set of headphones and microphone connected directly to the BB then keying it via the radio and still the noise is present... it is as if a filter or something inside asterisk is adding the noise. If some one could shed a little more light on the operation of chan_beagle and where this noise might be coming from that would be most helpful!

Make it easy on yourself..go to the allstarlink.org web site, download the install ISO that has the OS, libraries, complete asterisk install as well as good directions, download the ISO, burn a CD...and go from there.

Eventually these can be part of the standard build (a tail message/CT/PL select COP command set) if enough of us can help Jim with coding/testing. My eyes go cross when looking at the 87K lines of app_rpt.c, but I'm trying to understand it all! Anyone have a pseudo-code chart?

A user on node A wants to make a brief call from node A to node E, but not have the people on B, C, and D hear the audio.

Created a script called nodenumberlid.sh (where nodenumber is the numeric representation of the node in question), put it in my scripts directory (which I have in /etc/asterisk to aggregate my various 'stuff') that copies a usbradiolid.conf over the running usbradio.conf, sleeps for 3 seconds (lets things calm down...), then issues an rasterisk -rx "reload" command.

It would be nice to have whitelist and a blacklist capability on nodes. One of the things that app_rpt appears to be lacking is management capabilities such as this. We're forced to use kludges, an example being the ability to monitor what node active at any particular moment. Currently we're basically tailing the log file that is created with the audio archive feature. It works but it would be nice to have a more direct approach, possibly with more data such as knowing what node further away than 1 hop is active, although I don't think this data is present for the node to know. Come to think of it, if a node is fooled into thinking the offending node number was connected it would prevent the actual offending node from connecting even through another node. I've run into a similar situation with private node numbers, two Allstarlink nodes that had a different node numbered 1000 connected to them wouldn't connect because it thought a loop could be created.

You can also edit the actual tone values that you want in the rpt.conf file. For example, I like to use a dial tone, which reads: remotetx=|t(350,440,400,3500) So when the node is linked and a local user unkeys they hear the dial tone, which is two tones mixed together at once ...the first two values of the line ... 350 Hz and 440 Hz, for 400 milliseconds, at a level of 3500.

We wanted to have a totally different courtesy tones fromm just one remote node on the receive. Say node 1234 was remote to the local node and other remote nodes were connected in. He would want 1234 to have a different tone than anything else.

You can also edit the actual tone values that you want in the rpt.conf file. For example, I like to use a dial tone, which reads: remotetx=|t(350,440,400,3500) So when the node is linked and a local user unkeys they hear the dial tone, which is two tones mixed together at once ...the first two values of the line ... 350 Hz and 440 Hz, for 400 milliseconds, at a level of 3500.

Seem to be running into a problem...maybe my own dumbness. Here's the deal...the maxtrac (converted to 902, has deemph'd, filtered, 1v p-p audio and a cor lead coming out. Spectra has ptt, and mic input. So...I've the dmk wired with pin 1 ptt, pin 8 COR (high...maxtrac goes to 5v when it receives...and pl decodes...), 19/20 are grounds, 21 is the speaker feed from the maxtrac (well, don't know whether it's speaker, but...), and pin 22 is the mic out to the spectra. Radios are doing the pl decode and limiting... Without the spectra (xmt) powered up (since I don't have the power cable yet...need to get to autozone to pick it up..it's that car trailer power connector...), when I hang an audio voltmeter across pin 21 and ground, key my ht, the cor goes high (I can see that on my VOM...good...), and the voltmeter on the audio out lead wiggles to about -4dbm, which means it's passing audio. Now, when I hook it up to a dongle whose config is a carbon copy of my main running node...except for the usb port #, and all the necessary changes/additions in extensions, iax, rpt, usbradio, and there's a tune file for the port...and key it up...it comes up, does not pass audio, and then unkeys, no matter if I keep the HT keyed. Hmmmm.... So, first question...does it sound like I've wired the dongle properly (de-emp and filtered high level rcv audio to pin 21 for the receive, mic audio to pin 22, ptt to 1 and cor to 8)...second, what in the config files may be causing an issue? I know, shot in the dark...but it's 2220 on the east coast...
