Meanwhile... somewhere it has lost the CTCSS (PL) input requirement or in other words, it is now a carrier squelch repeater. Is there a setting to re-enable the CTCSS (PL) logic? Manually grounding the CTCSS input does not key the system but grounding the COS input does blow squelch noise through just fine.

We are in the progress trying to get past the learning curve of adding two RTCMs (S/W Version: 1.11 11/04/2012) to our system we currently operate here in Houston Node 28099. I have them currently connected to Kenwood TKR-820s configured as a simple radio interface and audio seems to be ok as set per sw2-2,3 and sw2-4 procedures. I am normally used to setting the audio levels via the radio-tune-menu but I am guessing that will not work in this case as I get an error (Error parsing device parameters) on the server I have the voter.conf files on. So from what I get out of this is the only place to adjust any audio is on the TRCM and in the voter.conf file is that correct? Another question is where do I set the ctcss decode settings as I can set the CTCSS TX in voter.conf but normally the RX CTCSS would be in the usbradio.conf file if it was a URI.. I am just trying to get some pointers on setup and troubleshooting methods for the RTCM. So my main questions are Where is the decode CTCSS set at? Is there a radio-tune-menu for the TRCM? Where is the info that menu item 14 set debug level go so I can view it? More may come later thanks to all :) FYI I have gone through all the post on this reflector to find these answers and read the rtcm_manual I am just stumped for the moment Keep up the good work 73s KC5DAQ From telesistant at hotmail.com Thu Jan 3 19:33:04 2013 From: telesistant at hotmail.com (Jim Duuuude) Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2013 11:33:04 -0800 Subject: [App_rpt-users] RTCM CTCSS input Tone settings In-Reply-To: <009d01cde9e4$f1159070$d340b150$@com> References: , <009d01cde9e4$f1159070$d340b150$@com> Message-ID: Dude??

In FM this will probably show up as reduced adjacent channel rejection. If you are not in a dense-signal environment, this may not be an issue. In any case, you need to adjust the level of the replacement signal into the PLL carefully for minimum crud generation. Watching the output of the PLL on a spectrum analyzer would be a good idea. 73 Ken From: app_rpt-users-bounces at ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces at ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Randy Neals Sent: Friday, January 04, 2013 7:30 PM To: Ron Simpson Cc: app_rpt-users at ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] GPS Locked MACTRAC I'm also interested in locking a transmitter frequency to stable reference.

So if you had other things that work in conjunction with the streaming then all of that set up is gone. Its always best to keep a local back up copy of the asterisk directory in case you lose you node configs to a hd crash or other mishaps. That way you can build a new box with default setting and just copy over the asterisk directory and bingo you are back on line.

I've been having a discussion with our RF guys on replacing our existing 3 port RLC repeater controller with an app_rpt setup, since we have more than 3 things to connect. There's some apprehension from non PC guys (and even myself, as a PC guy) about the reliability of a PC based system. We're not using our repeater for emergency or disaster response, and it's not operating at the top of a mountain, but, nobody wants something that they have to horse around with to keep it running. My thought would be not to stack a machine with USB dongles, but rather to connect each standalone repeater system to a RTCM. The RTCM would then connect to a hub PC (or multiple if it supports fall through to a second host). That way, if the hub computer failed, the standalone repeaters would revert to simple CW ID repeaters. However, I realize that everything's computers nowadays. I don't know if the RTCM is actually running a small embedded Linux, or if it's arbitrary code of some other nature. I can't tell. I'm trying to get a feel for their reliability thus far. I know that Asterisk and linux will pretty much just sit there, unless I trigger some sort of bug, for a long time. I actually had a HDD failure that took my Allstar node to read-only FS and it continued to run pretty much just fine until I got a drive out there to repair it, so I'm confident that we won't have issues. But, I gather that chan_voter is still a work in progress, I'm not sure if it's advisable to pursue this at this time, or wait until things are further along. I also ran into some comment about duplex being a problem for linked users - there was not any timer available to allow, on a full duplex system or link, non full duplex users to connect to the system and be able to transmit and talk, as their system would be in use until everyone else cleared out, a difficult scenario. Can't say for sure since we haven't gotten there yet but I could see it. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You set the timers on that node to have almost zero hang time (and llittle or no courtesy beep).

I am running node 27871 on this server. The installation of ACID seemed to go OK, I've changed the network scripts to suit, set the timezone, resolv.conf, and moved my conf files over to the new PC. It all seemed to be working OK, the radio side is fine, I can connect to the node from my office PC with iaxRPT, BUT!!... I cannot seem to connect to any other nodes. My connect command does seem to be decoding OK while in an Asterisk shell, but nothing happens (apart from the normal telemetry tone back). The time command *81 works fine. I've tried to initiate a portal config download but I am not sure if this has happened or not. Any ideas on what I might be missing? I do this so infrequently that it's hard to get everything right each time. Michael.

Even if you node shows up in the stats pages. If your node is not in the other nodes list then you cannot connect. That is because those nodes don't know what your IP address is.

I have 2 nodes hooked up to my ACID box using URIx. One is an allstar public node that is hooked up to a UHF repeater. The other is a private node remote base hooked up to a FT-817ND. Audio is working great on both radios. I am able to connect and disconnect with no problems between the nodes. So, to get to the point, I am not able to remote command the remote base either from DTMF via the repeater or CLI. I have tried both a serial and USB CAT cable from the ACID box. I am able to control the FT817ND with no problems using ham radio deluxe, so I know both cables and the radio are working. I did hook up a null modem cable from the port in rpt.conf to my laptop and I am seeing something in putty. I have tried the 3 port speeds that the radio supports for CAT. The data I am seeing using putty is unreadable for all 3 speeds. I do not know what to do next Any thoughts??

I've placed the original PC back into service (I check into the WinSystem Insomniac Net most nights) as I needed to be on the air! When I did this, I was not able to link to nodes immediately, I got a "connection failed" message for around 10 minutes before I could link again, I have experienced this before when the server has been turned off for extended periods (on vacation). I did not have both servers (new and old) running at the same time... and I forwarded UDP 4569 to the new internal IP address. While looking at "asterisk -r" with the new server, after the digits were decoded to link to node 3560 (*32560), I did not get a connection failed message back... just the normal telemetry beep (sounds like DTMF). I'm going to fire up the new server again tonight and leave it going for a while and see what happens. My original question still stands.... do I need to transfer anything else over to the new server apart from the .conf files found in /etc/asterisk/ ?? Will this be enough to transfer the "identity" of the server to a new machine? Michael.

I have 2 nodes hooked up to my ACID box using URIx. One is an allstar public node that is hooked up to a UHF repeater. The other is a private node remote base hooked up to a FT-817ND. Audio is working great on both radios. I am able to connect and disconnect with no problems between the nodes. So, to get to the point, I am not able to remote command the remote base either from DTMF via the repeater or CLI. I have tried both a serial and USB CAT cable from the ACID box. I am able to control the FT817ND with no problems using ham radio deluxe, so I know both cables and the radio are working. I did hook up a null modem cable from the port in rpt.conf to my laptop and I am seeing something in putty. I have tried the 3 port speeds that the radio supports for CAT. The data I am seeing using putty is unreadable for all 3 speeds. I do not know what to do next Any thoughts??

The exact temperature of shutdown is not really known. Here are the words: The temperature at which the THERMTRIP# signal becomes active is individually calibrated during manufacturing. The temperature at which THERMTRIP# becomes active is roughly parallel to the thermal profile and greater than the PROCHOT# activation temperature. Once configured, the temperature at which the THERMTRIP# signal is asserted is neither re-configurable nor accessible to the system. The way I cooked it was to mount the PC at the top of a cabinet containing a 300 watt paging amplifier. Seemed fine until the cabinet fan came unplugged. Then it nicely shut down the PC at the designated temperature.

I've found the weak-point on many of the Atom MB's to be the southbridge/VGA controller. Many boards don't include heatsinks on these chips and they run *hot* --even headless, in text mode. But, there is a simple solution! Just apply a small adhesive attached heatsink (available on Ebay). I've been using this trick for a few years now with no MB failures whatsoever...Also, in very hot industrial areas, I'll put a small fan in the case (Ebay) to move the air around. This helps, too. 73, David KB4FXC On Mon, 14 Jan 2013, Alan Adamson wrote: > If you check the actual specifications, they are good to 55c in a sealed > container and are good to 85C in any form of exposed.

Certainly smaller than my FitPC, but you knew that, cheaper too. Its a single core 1GHz x86, whereas my FitPC is a dual core 1GHz. I imagine its all passively cooled Eric? I was planning to run Allstar on a single core 1GHz ARM at some point in the future, Anthony mentioned in his first post two weeks ago he hopes to port the software to RaspberryPi (not to bring up the debate again, I'm only mentioning it for completeness - my goal is to run chan_voter, which DOESN'T need USB) and I think it would be simple to port to other ARM platforms, for the sake of argument, the Beagle Board, running newer kernel revisions. My FitPC does get quite warm Eric, even under "no load" conditions. I'm not entirely certain what it would do in 35+ degree Celsius heat in the middle of the Australian bush. I hope "work fine," not "explode"! So that might be a consideration for a totally passively cooled unit. My unit is going to be used to conduct a RTCM network, using chan_voter. None of the USB interfaces will be used, say, for URIs or other sound fobs. It'll be connected to the remote stations by long shot wifi links (Ubiquiti Bullet2s and Loco2s over ethernet). Eric, if you're going to use the USB ports on the 3350-AP, have a look at the structure of the USB hubs inside the computer. That'll tell you alot about whether you can use the sound fob with other devices, or you'll run into issues like the RPi. USB performance is critical, and I'm uncertain what the "on chip" USB ports would be like for such an integrated chipset. I hope this helps - technically, it should run it, from a "raw performance" standpoint. However, the practicality might be a little different. I do hope it works - please let me know how you go, I'm rather interested! That is a cheaper computer than the FitPC!

This is very neat because there are no inverters, or additional power supplies needed to run this PC from the same 12 VDC power supply as the repeater. I was concerned that a Dual Core Atom might not be enough, but it seems to work just fine for my node using a URI to control a 70cm repeater. I installed ACID_CENTOS, and it installed clean with no futzing around. No asterisk reboot cycles, all clean.

Arch Linux can be tricky as its in a constant state of flux. I have assumed a certain level of developer understanding but will produce a live cd when I get some time. Before you compile, make sure you do a pacman -Syy followed by pacman -Su when its finished. Check by rebooting with no errors.. The allstar compile process I roughly follow from memory is ; I can document this properly if required... 1. Load the dependencies via the pacman -S. I have updated the github README with the ones I use.. They may be some extras in there as well...:-) 2. First Install the ztdummy kernel driver. Go to the /allstar/ast-1.4.23-pre/trunk/zaptel dir in the asterisk dir and run configure. Then run make and make install. If you get complaints about the kernel source not being avaiable make sure you "pacmaned" the kernel headers.. and done the pacman -Syy and -Su process 3. Reboot and do modprobe ztdummy. Check for zaptel /dev/zap devices.. If not there look for zaptel.rules in udev dirs. 4. Then look in main allstar dir ( /allstar/ast-1.4.23-pre/trunk/) readme and run make install_usbradio .You will get errors at the end due to flash card stuff but ignore these... 5. Then you should have a compiled allstar system. 6. Check asterisk will run by running asterisk -vvvc. You will get lots of not found errros but if it runs and stops its ok. At least it is now compiled. 7. Add your allstar config files to the dir and then restart as above... This is what i do when I am playing around with allstar...

The compile process is the same as my previous email. Just to to let you know, I found the sound on chan_usbradio with a CM108 usb fob was distorted for about 20% of the time when I did the *99 test tone on the PI. It could be acceptable on voice but I didn't test it any further. I then tried to use chan_alsaradio but I think the CPU overhead was too high due to the downsampling from 44.1hz (?) to 8Khz. I have ordered a Griffin iMIC2 usb sound card which has hardware 8Khz sampling built in to see if it will work OK on the PI.( still waiting for it) If it does then it will mean that we will have to use the PI GPIO's for PTT and COR etc but that shouldn't be to hard.....(hopefully :-) ) Regards Anthony, VK2ACP Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2013 09:11:29 +1100 From: Shane Morris To: Eric Guth Cc: app_rpt mailing list Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Arch Linux version of allstar has been stable for 2 weeks now....

Its a single core 1GHz x86, whereas my FitPC is a dual core 1GHz. I imagine its all passively cooled Eric? I was planning to run Allstar on a single core 1GHz ARM at some point in the future, Anthony mentioned in his first post two weeks ago he hopes to port the software to RaspberryPi (not to bring up the debate again, I'm only mentioning it for completeness - my goal is to run chan_voter, which DOESN'T need USB) and I think it would be simple to port to other ARM platforms, for the sake of argument, the Beagle Board, running newer kernel revisions. My FitPC does get quite warm Eric, even under "no load" conditions. I'm not entirely certain what it would do in 35+ degree Celsius heat in the middle of the Australian bush. I hope "work fine," not "explode"! So that might be a consideration for a totally passively cooled unit. My unit is going to be used to conduct a RTCM network, using chan_voter. None of the USB interfaces will be used, say, for URIs or other sound fobs. It'll be connected to the remote stations by long shot wifi links (Ubiquiti Bullet2s and Loco2s over ethernet). Eric, if you're going to use the USB ports on the 3350-AP, have a look at the structure of the USB hubs inside the computer. That'll tell you alot about whether you can use the sound fob with other devices, or you'll run into issues like the RPi. USB performance is critical, and I'm uncertain what the "on chip" USB ports would be like for such an integrated chipset. I hope this helps - technically, it should run it, from a "raw performance" standpoint. However, the practicality might be a little different. I do hope it works - please let me know how you go, I'm rather interested! That is a cheaper computer than the FitPC! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm using a Neoware CA-22 with 1GB RAM, 1GB flash and 1GHz processor. It boots and appears to run fine. I've configured it according to what K0KN and the info from ohnosec.org website. Something it not what it should be. There's always voltages on the parallel port pins I've specified in usbradio.conf. The voltage on pin 3 for ptt is at 2.4V and 4.8V on pins four and five. I have not run any commands on there to manually turn them on. When I run the command from the K0KN website to manually turn on the pin 3, the damn voltage still sits at 2.4V. When I run the command to turn it off, it still sits at 2.4V on that pin. Same thing for the other two pins. I don't understand why one of the GPIO pins sits at 2.4V and the other sit at 4.8V when the pins are set to be default off. Shouldn't the 'off' setting be zero volts, or something very close to zero? Below is what I added usbradio.conf for the parallel pins config: pp3 = ptt pp4 = out0 ;aux1 pp5 = out0 ;aux2 pp6 = out0 ;aux3 pp11 = cor Am I missing something? Something not correct? I'm rather disappointed the documentation is not very helpful in terms of what full configs should look like and the lack of references to teach new allstarlink dummies like me. ~Benjamin, KB9LFZ From telesistant at hotmail.com Fri Jan 25 04:31:58 2013 From: telesistant at hotmail.com (Jim Duuuude) Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2013 20:31:58 -0800 Subject: [App_rpt-users] limey linux and parallel ports In-Reply-To: <1359079494.1680.593.camel@benjamin-hp> References: <1359079494.1680.593.camel@benjamin-hp> Message-ID: Gee, I wasnt aware that the Neoware CA-22 was one of the COUPLE supported hardwares for Limey Linux.... ??

I had an issue a while back with a board trying to access the PP and someone asked me the same question. Since limey runs from memory, make sure after you make changes to your file, do the command, svcfg. This will write any changes to the CF card. That is what I was missing in the beginning. After a reboot, my config file went back to the original which did not have the PP parameters I had set since it kept reloading the file from the CF card into memory. Also, the board I am using now has about a 1.5G CPU with 512Megs of RAM and so far, I haven't had any audio issues. I may upgrade at some point since Im getting more into mini-itx machines and they are getting more powerful these days. Try that before you give up.

The reason I'm asking is because I would like to implement an actual office PABX system that can use both phones and radios, for an office base and a workforce that will mostly be in the field. Of course, why reinvent the wheel - ie, why would I have two separate servers (one for app_rpt, and one for the phone system) when I could potentially run the entire system off the one server? One server makes logical sense to me, of course, and reduces management overhead... but is there any do or die features that 1.6 and 1.8 offers me that would indicate I need another server, or can I just do the whole she-bang (albeit, without Digiums support) on a 1.4 server with app_rpt? I've just been told about an Android 3G smartphone from China that integrates a 1Watt UHF PMR (400 - 470MHz) FM radio, and Android control software. Its also IP67 rated for you types that like dropping your phone in the mud and stuff...! This as a client for an app_rpt network - on both the PMR and VoIP/ broadband interfaces - is of extreme interest to me, for my application. Saves carrying around a separate PMR radio in any case... as for an application to back up onto the 3G network via VoIP when you can't receive a signal from the PMR network... well... I'll see about that...! Thanks everyone! Shane. From Benjamin at kb9lfz.com Mon Jan 28 02:56:56 2013 From: Benjamin at kb9lfz.com (Benjamin L.

It clearly states on the Limey Linux page, address http://stats.allstarlink.org/limeylinux/ that "Single image support for Intel D201GLY2, D945GCLF, D945GCLF2, D945GCLF2D and Igoe Logic I3386G motherboards using cfimg-i686-supported-1.0.9.tgz." That would suggest to me that the image is specific for those motherboards, with drivers also specific to those motherboards. So running a trimmed down, embedded CF image linux on a AMD64 is not going to work. Additionally, the page at that address says "Limey linux is built entirely from sources that the make files in package downloads as it needs them." which is further evidence of this trimming down. Why bloat something that has a half gig of CF space with drivers for a million motherboards you'll never use? Now, I *know* your system isn't an AMD64, but as Jim put it, its not one of those systems listed either. So my suggestion of using ACiD was appropriate, even if I directed you to (not so gently) RTFM. Yes, I know that ACiD might have bloat too, but its better than not having drivers for essential pieces of hardware, right? The reason I *never* picked up Limey is because I didn't possess any of those boards, nor will I ever think I will. I could've gone ACiD too, but its a 2.6 based kernel on x86 - my focus is low power ARM. It turns out, group, that my "low powered" ARM is a little TOO low powered, right? Ergo, the RaspPi. I suspect the CubieBoard may work better, owing to its clock speed, and multiple on chip USB, but I'm not in a position to say, as I'm not a developer of this software. To my credit, I have gotten a Fit PC-3 now, an AMD APU based system, and I am anxiously awaiting the image from a fellow New South Welshman (whose name I don't want to trawl through my mail for at the moment). There is talk of making the image for ARM, who knows, thats the future, I don't have a crystal ball. But I do know one thing - what it says on the Limey Linux page. I felt Jims exasperation - Jim and I have talked on occasion about the kernel drivers issue for the RaspPi, and my explanation of it, which boiled down to "Its a closed source core running open source software." We now know thats been opened, but as the Institute crows about it, Allwinner had knocked that one off first - hence my purchase of a CubieBoard with an Allwinner A10 chip. In any case, I apologise for not being gentle, but its in plain sight. I do seem to remember you said something about "No documentation..." Ummm, I'm not certain how you work that out when I've evidently seen this page, referenced it, and pasted in the comments under scrutiny for your benefit. There is no "secret society" here - I had searched the archives before I posted my question about RaspPi, and found no comments. Since this is my area, I made others aware of it. Of course, Jim may have seen many, many more messages of this type, allowing him to respond the way he did. I'd simply seen it, read it, and understood it. It don't work unless you have one of those motherboards. Oh, you're welcome to try, but should we realistically support such a venture when you are pretty much warned that its not supported? My dropping of the RaspPi thing is testament to this - and not everyone knows about the Cubie yet. Hence my acquiring a Fit PC. Others may see this differently, yourself included, thats the beauty and joy of a free and open society. But I question the merits of a venture to support a software designed for a specific purpose, advertised for that specific purpose, and with limited support, except the gentle grace (or not so gentle grace) of the community. In any case, Jims been around these parts longer than me, hes seen this more than me, I'm only a newcomer myself. I think any kind of final opinion, intelligent or otherwise, should be left to Jim, if he was to so wish. I hope that is of substance enough for you to explain my reaction and my exasperation.

I am currently running a repeater with IRLP node. The repeater controller is PC based and runs independent of IRLP. I also have a hardware auto patch connected via an ATA186. I would like to run Asterisk on this system. I already run Asterisk for my PBX at home, including multiple DID and LD SIP providers. Eliminating some hardware, like the auto patch and the ATA186 would be nice. I did read that app_rpt supports the use of IRLP hardware. But further complicating things is that I am moving towards a small ARM board to run the repeater. In particular, I am building some hardware to interface sound and control to a BeagleBoard. That bring up some questions. Can app_rpt utilize a generic ALSA sound card for audio input and output? Can app_rpt use the GPIO of an ARM board to access COS, PPT, etc?

I managed to get the TX working with the K0KN PLRI, and I'm using DSP for the receive side. I'd don't know what I did incorrectly, but now the radio keeps saying busy even with no antenna connected to it. This never happened before. I've be able to call into the node with the VoIP PBX to the public SIP connection and I can hear myself both ways. With very little latency. No choppiness, and no distortion. To review, I'm using Limey Linux for i686 on a Neoware CA-22. 1GHz VIA C7 processor, 1GB RAM, 1GB flash. I tried using the distro kerneled for VIA, but that didn't work for me for one reason or the other. I still have to figure out why the node doesn't recognize DTMF tones over RF, but I will get to that. Possibly I messed with the volume knob on the radio and have to use the radio-tune-menu again with the service monitor. It's a very crude, first ever, node setup using a 12V 18Ah SLA battery, Kenwood TM-241 radio, old 3A power supply from my CB radio days and lots of solder smoke still lingering in the Lab. It was fun to get this working, and I appreciate the advice from those whom have working systems. Thank you. You are all invited to test it out and make some noise in my local area. It's on 147.565MHz and the node number 28569. I was testing it on 146.52 to hopefully ruffle some feathers and generate some good activity on the call channel, and I was successful. ~Benjamin, KB9LFZ From anthcp at gmail.com Wed Jan 30 07:41:31 2013 From: anthcp at gmail.com (Anthony Percy) Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 18:41:31 +1100 Subject: [App_rpt-users] ARM Arch Linux version of allstar In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Hi all, An update to the Raspberry PI running Allstar email below... Audio is not corrupted with the iMIC....!!!! I received my Griffin iMIC today so I fired up my PI with the Arch Allstar image ( built using the link below) and plugged it in. The chan_alsaradio conf file had been configured from before to us hw devices (not plughw so as to avoid the downsampling etc) and I started up asterisk ( e.g asterisk -vvvc). When we had the CM108 plugged before, the chan_alsaraio would crash when you tried a *99 test tone. However with the iMIC it was stable with a smooth tone emitted when *99 was done!!! Looks like the downsampling to 8KHz/overhead of the CM108 was the problem. The chan_alsaradio driver can use a serial port for the PTT/COR so maybe a usb serial port would work...?? ( I will try this as I have one of these, not sure if its supported by the PI/Arch Linux though) Or we could code and use the PI GPIO ports.... Just thought I would let you all know...

It sounds like your transmit is working ok, but maybe your node radio COS logic is flipped? If so, I'd suggest editing your simpleusb.conf (or usbradio.conf) and changing the COS sense. This should also fix your DTMF decoding issue.. Make sure to restart Asterisk afterwards (astres.sh) carrierfrom=ppinvert ; use either pp or ppinvert73 and good luck, Kyle Yoksh K0KN Olathe, KS ----- Original Message ----- Greetings All, I'm happy to say that I figured out at least a couple steps to get a functioning node that users across Allstarlink can connect to. I managed to get the TX working with the K0KN PLRI, and I'm using DSP for the receive side. I'd don't know what I did incorrectly, but now the radio keeps saying busy even with no antenna connected to it. This never happened before. I've be able to call into the node with the VoIP PBX to the public SIP connection and I can hear myself both ways. With very little latency. No choppiness, and no distortion. To review, I'm using Limey Linux for i686 on a Neoware CA-22. 1GHz VIA C7 processor, 1GB RAM, 1GB flash. I tried using the distro kerneled for VIA, but that didn't work for me for one reason or the other. I still have to figure out why the node doesn't recognize DTMF tones over RF, but I will get to that. Possibly I messed with the volume knob on the radio and have to use the radio-tune-menu again with the service monitor. It's a very crude, first ever, node setup using a 12V 18Ah SLA battery, Kenwood TM-241 radio, old 3A power supply from my CB radio days and lots of solder smoke still lingering in the Lab. It was fun to get this working, and I appreciate the advice from those whom have working systems. Thank you. You are all invited to test it out and make some noise in my local area. It's on 147.565MHz and the node number 28569. I was testing it on 146.52 to hopefully ruffle some feathers and generate some good activity on the call channel, and I was successful. ~Benjamin, KB9LFZ From ke2n at cs.com Wed Jan 30 08:04:36 2013 From: ke2n at cs.com (Ken) Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2013 03:04:36 -0500 (EST) Subject: [App_rpt-users] Repeater hangs whn remote node (RTCM) In-Reply-To: <1359510771.89933.YahooMailNeo@web120302.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> References: <1359510771.89933.YahooMailNeo@web120302.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <8CFCCD79460DB6C-734-49788@webmail-m024.sysops.aol.com> That is the inherent problem with any active-low arrangement. Adding a transistor or SS relay to the signal in question would fix that. It might help to power the radio and RTCM from the same supply so they both lose power at the same time ;-) Ken -----Original Message----- From: Fran To: app_rpt-users Sent: Wed, Jan 30, 2013 2:52 am Subject: [App_rpt-users] Repeater hangs whn remote node (RTCM) My repeater hangs in transmit whenever my remote node (simplex ) radio loses power, the sim,plex node is connected to an RTCM. I have tried several commands to disconnect the Node to npo avail. I end up shutting my Allstar server off until the remote node power is is restored. Just to clarify what is happening at the remote node, the simplex radio loses power NOT the RTCM.....
