Message-ID: Like if I did not had enough to do , my club is talking about making a remote base, for the club members, that can?t have HF antenna at home, from our repeater site.. (large and tall building downtown Montreal) When I say I have enough, someone is asking me to take my homebrew dstar repeater full blown on a montain top with a msf5000 as the work horse..Now that will be fun... ;-). And the club members cant wait that I install the allstarlink link on our vhf and uhf repeater... So About the remote base, since we will have a server with 2 node at the repeater site, why not use a third node for the remote base.. For the repeaters I am all ok, but for the remote base, now I am in search of information. what would a user been able to do with a node setup as a remote base?? what radio would be a good fit for lets say 160 to 10 meter opearation?? Anyone with hand on experience can provide some good input? I had for some time my own remote base at home ( I travel a lot and like to operate from the hotel where I stay while traveling for work..) But I am using HRD to remote control a IC-706MKIIG connected to a dual band V-U antenna on the high freq output and an DX-LB+ for the HF.. for transmiting audio I am using team speak running on vox on the radio side and I use a PTT at the computer side, its working ok, but I dont think this would be a good setup in a club... Anyone can help a bit?? Thanks, Pierre VE2PF -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Worked great on VHF/UHF but my personal experience in attempting to tune SSB from a keypad was an exercise in frustration. Strong signals weren't so much of a problem but weak signals or those slightly off frequency from a HF traffic net were. Not all functions of the radio are available via CAT commands which was a major problem for me. There are Allstar stanzas available for controlling the FT-897 specifically but I'm sure it could be done with other radios as well. Do a Google search on Ham Radio via the Internet and it will turn up many different ways to approach the problem. Some require additional hardware, some work without a PC involved at all. W4MQ.COM and Glentekcorp.com are two that popped up for me. At least one solution I've seen uses two interface boxes that connect the faceplate of a radios such as a Yaesu FT-857 to the radio via the Internet, all functions available from the front panel then become available as the control panel is right in front of you while the radio is somewhere remote. Audio in both directions is passed and no computer interface is used. This negates of course the radio being able to be used by multiple users unless they each had a radio control head and some way to identify who was connected when.

Nice thing about the remoterig setup is that, once you hook it up, it's available either via using a computer running HRD-II, the Kenwood remote software, or by plugging the 480 faceplate into the remote box. It does have a standard ethernet output, plus RS232 ports if the rig supports that way of going. Couple folks I've talked to have even adapted them to wireless bridges to talk to MiFi personal hotspots (though you do have to watch the data consumption in this day of 'limited' unlimited data service. A lot cleaner, albeit with the requirement to carry another small box around. -- Bryan In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.

Pretty much doubt it. It's pretty generic of an interface and flexible in configuration that there probably aren't many that can not be connected up and gotten to work.

Audio service, at the analog to digital transition point, is intolerant of the CPU being off 'elsewhere' or managed as part of a pooled resource (simplistically) in a highly loaded environment. Hubs, etc work fine; but, when you get down to the nuts and bolts of actually doing hardware control, audio processing, etc, you really want a direct processor/memory/I-O capability. Besides..computers that you can dedicate to the task are not the most expensive investment in a radio/repeater/etc setup. Because you can do it does not necessarily mean you should do it..:) -- Bryan Sent from my iPad On Mar 11, 2012, at 12:57 PM, "Jeremy R.

Linux is installed, and in regular use, on Macs all over the world. In fact OS X is essentially a Unix-based OS with a GUI. In fact, open up the program Terminal that comes with OS X. You are now in a command line Unix environment. In OS X, though, there are constraints, so those that want more install Linux or other distributions. see http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/install_linux_your_mac I bet ACID would work.

I have a URI connected but no radio for now. I am interested to see how well it works as a background application on the mini. I will test it tonight with some other nodes. BTW - Thanks to Tim Sawyer for letting me know he has done this before on a Mac with Parrallels. And to Rob Roschewski for his help with VM an Linux.

Doesn't seem to me that it matters. Either way, it's less audio to/from the radio. My guess would be network, vs. software constantly readjusting the sound card levels for Echolink audio. Personally, I've found that the default settings seem to make the Echolink audio at the same level as the audio from an Allstar node.... 73, Jim KH2D -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I chose a Mac Mini. H/W: 2007 Mac Mini (OSX 10.6.9 Snow Leopard) with 2GB of RAM and 120GB HD connected to a DMK URI. No radio or connecting cable yet. Installation: AllStar was installed directly from an acid_centos.iso file into a Parallels Virtual Machine (VM) using 1 GB of RAM and 3.8 GB of hard disk space. Use of an .iso file for installation was fast and will work on the new computers (i.e. Mac Minis) that do not have CD drives. The Parallels default configuration was 512 MB of RAM, but in that configuration there was some distorted audio and sometimes connection difficulties. Raising the virtual Virtual RAM to 1 GB improved things dramatically. Note: Installation of ACID did not work with VMware. Advantages: Flexibility and size. The Mac Mini is small, lightweight and quiet. The Mini and the URI can easily fit on your desktop. A full Operating System on the computer that holds the AllStar server allows you to remotely administer that computer from another computer, an iPad or iPhone with remote software like the one I am using - LogMeIn. This gives you the flexibility to reboot or reconfigure your computer or just the AllStar server. Disadvantages: Cost and complexity. The cost of a used Intel Mac Mini with 2GB of RAM plus the cost of Parallels is obviously more than that of a free Pentium 4 with 512 MB of RAM. Installing Parallels using a Virtual Machine is pretty straightforward but if you haven?t done it before there are a few things to learn. Also, I am not sure how the radio URI /radio connection is going to work with the VM. Conclusions: So far, for me, using a Mac Mini with Parallels VM is awesome! I am really happy with this setup. It is small, quiet and produces great audio from a WebTranceiver on my end to a WebTranceiver or RF on the other end (AllStar or Echolink node).

Having these ports on the back of a radio, such as the Alincos, makes it about a 10 minute job to configure, either as a repeater (if you have 2 of them...) or as a simplex node. Stupid simple, in fact. When my Micor was down for the count and out for repair last year...strung 2 alincos together, configured them for data, locked them on the proper frequencies, built the cable, ran radio-tune-menu, kicked the power on the one I was using for xmt down to 5w out to feed the amp...shazam, it was up and operational for 5 months without a hiccup. Do the COR in software, hook up the PTT, audio out of one, audio in to the other, ctcss in asterisk. Could not have been simpler. Next project on the plate...figuring out if I can interface the remoterig radio control extender set up to asterisk. -- Bryan In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.

I'm leaning towards a network issue on my PC. I have been using iaxRpt mainly for fun and as a diagnostic tool with my AllStar nodes... and mainly to listen to activity on the node. After configuring a new Mikrotik router on my ham radio ADSL connection, I was using iaxRpt on my home office PC (Win7 64bit) which is "outside" of my ham radio network to make sure I had forwarded the correct UDP ports through to my nodes... and this is where I found a strange thing. I can connect to node 27871 and hear activity on the node OK... both local RF and incoming via the internet when connected to another node. But when I key up the node with the TRANSMIT button, the node transmitter seems to pulse on and off. Every few seconds I hear the unkey telemetry tone beep. The radio never fully unkeys, I hear interrupted audio and the beep. I then connected directly to the nodes internal IP address (not out through my main ADSL connection and back in the ham radio ADSL connection) and it does the same thing... when you key up the node "pulses"... so it's not an internet thing. My older laptop PC (WinXP) does not exhibit this problem... it works fine both coming in via the internet and a LAN connection directly to the node IP address. My PC at work (connecting via the internet) works fine too. I'm thinking that something is screwing up the UDP packet stream from this PC... but I have no idea what it could be. Any suggestions? Michael.

When I installed it I had a DMG URI attached to the computer but no radio. I am ready to pick a radio and I would like to ask for your advice. I already have a dual band HT but have no experience with base station or mobile radios. AllStar system is going to be for home use and for other AllStar nodes to be able to access my local repeaters. I would like a mobile radio so that I can use it in emergencies in my car.. I want to have a simplex system. I am considering the following radios: Yaesu 2900 - single band (2M), simple, inexpensive but no data port. This is the simplest way to go and the microphone connector may be used to create a cable to connect to the URI. Yaesu 7900 - dual band, data port with single TX/RX plus cross band repeater - simple, dual band and has a data port. Yaesu 8800 - dual band, data port, cross-band repeater, two RXs and one TX. I am leaning toward this model because as I understand it, I can monitor AllStar through the secondary radio while I am using the main to talk locally. I could then switch the main to the AllStar connection if I desire. to talk there. However, the Yaesu documentation seems to indicate that anytime you are transmitting that signal goes through the data port. I am not sure I want that. Does anyone use the Yaesu 8800 or 8900 for this purpose? If so could you let me know how it actually works? Yaesu seems to be popular radio here, but I have heard that Kenwood and iCom are better radios but their price may be an inhibiter. I am open to recommendations for their models or even a used or discontinued model. Thanks for your help from a newbie!

Get yourself something like a Motorola Radius or Maxtrac with a 16 pin accessory connector, which can often be obtained on Ebay for under $50. It has all the stuff you need. Easy interface. And you cant go wrong with it. Dont waste a nice frequency-agile ham transceiver for a standard simplex node.

I would like to thank everyone for the help i have got from this email group.. all the reading i have done is going to turn our repeater into a power house. 1 request i have gotton from our group is that they would like to have a response back if the echolink node they tried to dial is not available or didn't go through like it does on a normal echolink box. So if John tries to call joe using the *33xxxxxxx and lets says joe is busy or the call doesn't go through he hits to many numbers etc.. he would get a response back on saying node not available or failed.. did i miss something in the set up? also for adding a SIP phone like my droid, instead of going through the sip.allstar way i would like to directly connect to my box. I have the SIP.conf set up and my phone registers but not sure what else to set up to be able to dial to my rptr node to be able to monitor the repeater and ... Thanks guys.. PS..

I have been studying sample config files and source code, but am nevertheless a bit confused. I have a RigExpert TI-5 interface, which could be thought of as a more featureful version of a SignaLink USB. I'll give more details on my setup below, but basically what I have is: * A full-duplex ALSA device, in which the receive frequency is mapped to the right channel, and the transmit frequency to the left. (Though I think I can make it such that a program that opens the device in mono mode will get the right thing.) * The serial interface to the rig is at /dev/ttyUSB0 * Control is at /dev/ttyUSB1. In specific, DTR must always be off, and RTS must be raised to key PTT. Other audio interfaces to this system, whether on Linux or Windows, operate quite nicely with this setup. svxlink is another Linux-based repeater project that runs well. Echolink runs fine under VirtualBox, etc. Getting the audio into Asterisk shouldn't be a big deal. After all, chan_alsa ought to be able to do that right off. So now I'm on to the app_rpt configuration. I think I can figure most of it out, but the bit I haven't been able to figure out yet is PTT keying. I can't seem to figure out how it indicates PTT in what seems to be the something of a default config, nor how I might get it to raise RTS for me. My particular setup - You might think of it logically as two transceivers connected to two SignaLink USB devices. In reality, it's just a Kenwood TS-2000 connected to a RigExpert TI-5. One feature of this radio is that it has two fully-independent transceivers, and is capable of full-duplex operation so long as each transceiver is tuned to a different band. So, for instance, I can have an input frequency on the 2m band, an output frequency on the 70cm band, and I have an instant repeater... just with a 300MHz offset ;-) In fact, the radio has a built-in repeater feature, although it is extremely limited in features. Furthermore, the TS-2000 has separate audio outputs for both transceivers, and it can keep one of them open even while it's transmitting on the other transceiver. The RigExpert USB interface takes these separate audio outputs from the TS-2000 and maps one to the left audio channel and the other to the right audio channel as it feeds them to the PC. The RigExpert is also capable of full-duplex operation. So I tell something like svxlink that my transmitter is on the left channel, the receiver is on the right channel, and there we have it: instant homebrew repeater, completely full-duplex, like a regular repeater in every way except the unusually large offset. I'd like to be able to do the same with Asterisk. Thanks for any ideas, -- John KR0L -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You only have to compile Zaptel support into Asterisk if you need it. One option is to recompile without Zaptel support. 2. You only have to load Zaptel drivers if you want to take advantage of Zaptel services. One option is to unload zaptel modules if you don't need them. 3.

Message-ID: <1333206721.77275.androidMobile@web125904.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> Guys, Running a 3 node system here, I am using my Allstar Computer as my site controller, 440 and 900 are each a separate node. My question is: Can I individually disable any TX when none of the nodes are linked together? Each repeater is a stand-alone system that can be linked at will. I need the ability to shut off a TX in the event of interference, jamming or other reasons. Can this be done? 73, Ron - N6GKJ Sent from Yahoo!
