[App_rpt-users] RTCM simulcast help

Tue Aug 13 23:37:44 UTC 2013

I was able to help this dude.

And thanks, Michael, for sort of indirectly pointing out the necessity for mentioning
this:

Every time the Voter/RTCM firmware is "upgraded" (well, at least we *hope* so :-) ), there
is a possibility that a "new" setting/feature was added that did not exist in the previous
version, and, therefore can cause a situation of there being a "rogue" value in a "new" configuration
parameter, since it "lives" in configuration "space" that "did not exist" in the previous version.

Therefore, the "best practice" for upgrading the Voter/RTCM is to do a "factory initialization" of
configuration parameters every time you upgrade. Obviously, you dont *HAVE* to, but if you dont
you run the risk of "something weird going on".

Remember the new slogan for this -- "When it doubt, zero it out"..   

:-)

That's weird, so only the master transmits. Hmmmm...
what happens when you do *CLI>voter display 28304? Are they both there? 

You do have different passwords for each client, right?

Yes, I have 2 clients and the first 1 is transmitting. What is also interesting is client 2 will transmit telemetry. ie CW ID, anything using rpt fun 28304 like COP 4

Are other clients supposed to transmit, and do they?

I just changed menu 18=0 on both rtcms. I also changed the menu 7 to 3000. 

No strange messages on level 3. Standard  Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-1855322317' 
No TX on client 2 now

Menu 18 = 1 will be making local PTT. You want 18 = 0 with duplex=2. Leave the TX buffers long - around 2000 or 3000 until you figure out what is wrong.  

Are you getting any strange message on the Asterisk console with verbose level 3?

Very interesting. Playing around with the settings on both RTCMs and found it works with menu 7 set for 600 and menu 18 set for 1. 

If I set menu 18 to 0 the non master client, it will not transmit. 

Also, I checked my rpt.conf and duplex=2

This might sound like an odd question, but did chan_voter compile cleanly for you? I just grabbed the latest svn code and it did not compile for me at all. The error it gave me I would need to check tomorrow, as I'm currently not at the computer.

1) What version of RTCM firmware are you running?

2) What do you have your TxBufferLength set to (in the RTCM) ?

All,
I am trying to enable simulcast on my system. I have gone into the voter.conf and added the "transmit" statement. The 2nd repeater is not transmitting. I am using menu 98 and do not see the "PTT : 0" changing to 1 or the red TX indicator lighting up 

I have done a astres.sh and rebooted both RTCMs
Here is my voter.conf
[general]port = 667buflen = 120password = xxx

[28304]KD5DFB_main=xxx,transmit,masterKD5DFB_site1=xxx,transmit

Here is my menu 98 on the RTCM
