<DIV></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>I've been really busy (and productive) today.<BR><BR>The new
version (0.60) of the RTCM/Voter board firmware now supports the
following:<BR><BR>Notification via CW of host connection failure (with the
option of repeating it <BR>periodically if still failed, along with option of
repeating it after receiver un-key).<BR><BR>Notification via CW of host
connection restoral after failure. <BR><BR>"Offline" repeat mode, where it
becomes a "dumb" repeater if host connection is lost.<BR>Includes settable
hang time. The "Notification via CW of host connection failure"
feature<BR>also can serve as a CW identifier in this mode (and was designed to
do so).<BR><BR>The CW speed, CW strings (content of messages), and some other
stuff is user-settable<BR>from a menu.<BR><BR>Speaking of menus, the "big
humongous" main menu is now split in to 3 nice, smaller ones.<BR>The 2
sub-menus are IP (networking) parameters, and "Offline Mode"
parameters.<BR><BR>The only thing it does *NOT* do is generate CTCSS tone when
transmitting. I doubt it ever<BR>will, since we are pretty much out of code
space in the processor. This would require the<BR>use of floating point trig
functions to calculate generation constants (or from a table), neither<BR>of
which we have room for.<BR><BR>The 0.60 version will be available on SVN at
2115 PST tonight.<BR><BR>JIM WB6NIL<BR><BR><BR><BR>

<DIV dir=ltr>Not at the moment as the firmware currently stands. However,
that's not a bad idea.<BR>It could simply act as a totally "dumb" controller

<DIV dir=ltr>Yeah, that's the general idea. The location of the Linux
server running app_rpt/Asterisk can be<BR>more or less anywhere within
Internet connectivity of all of the receiver and/or transmitter
sites.<BR>Of course, "Internet" can mean either some sort of public
Internet connection, or a privately-provided<BR>Internet connection
(low-cost microwave link(s), etc).<BR><BR>The only limitation is that an
RTCM/Voter module *must* be located on the same LAN as the
Linux<BR>server, to at least provide a GPS-based timing reference. A
system could be set up with a server<BR>located in some sort of datacenter
"on the ground", and all the radios could have an RTCM "on the<BR>hill"
with them, and as long as there is Internet connectivity of some sort
between each of them<BR>and the server, the system will work nicely. That
is providing that there is an RTCM located at<BR>the server location also
(whether or not that particular RTCM has radio hardware connected to
it<BR>or not).<BR><BR>One minimal Linux server can easily support 1 or 2
dozen RTCM's (on 1 or 2 allstar nodes),<BR>and a larger server could
easily support MANY dozens of them on dozens of allstar nodes.<BR>Of
course, you REALLY dont want to put too many of them on a single server,
being a potential<BR>single point of failure. For pretty much any
practical purpose, the reasonable limitation is<BR>the point of
failure/redundancy issue, not technical limitations.<BR><BR>I'm not sure
if you were clear on this, so I thought I would mention that the RTCM is
not just<BR>usable as a GPS-timing-based Multi-Receiver Voting system
and/or a Simulcast Transmitter system.<BR>It can also be used as a
"generic" radio interface for a conventional (non-GPS-based) either
simplex<BR>or full duplex (repeater) radio. The advantage of doing this
would be to not have the Linux<BR>host "on the hill" with the radio (as
mentioned above). In addition, the RTCM allows for<SPAN
class=ecxApple-converted-space> </SPAN><BR>portable/mobile operation
with a mobile/portable Internet connection in both the GPS-based<BR>and
non-GPS-based environments.<SPAN
