GPS, messaging, and BM

Has anyone on this list tried GPS updates on BM? Supposedly it should work. I'm wondering if anyone has successfully tried it. I am also wondering if there are any test subjects will to try a text message with me. N1XBM Apparare Scientor Paratus Communicare Allstar Node # 27086, 41540, 41812, 42086, 42658

First attempt
by Michael J. Wolthuis 31 Jan '16

My first attempt to start up /usr/local/bin/DMRGateway & I get Segmentation Fault immediately. Anyone else had that issue? I have DMRLink working as a peer, connected to our C-Bridge. I have AMBEserverGPIO working and listening on UDP. Do not yet have Asterisk started, is that the issue? Mike kb8zgl

I was able to resolve the problem in /opt/dmrlink/ambe_audio/dmrlink.cfg I had to create a peer pointing back the master I have configured in /opt/dmrlink/bridge/dmrlink.cfg I had to put the IP 192.168.X.X in the IP field using 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1 would not allow things to work. Everything seems fine. I was talking to a ham on analog he said the audio was a little hot. I noticed in the DMRGateway.ini there is a agc gain adjustment. Is this a OK adjustment to bring the audio down a bit? I also noticed that if I key too quickly after someone is done talking on analog my transmission on DMR will not go out. I found waiting a few seconds, works fine. Would this have something to do with a hang time setting? Other than that I can not find any other issues.

ambe_audio.py and bridge.py
by Robert Newberry 30 Jan '16

So I am working on getting everything to run at boot. I've been adding one process at a time to rc.local. So far so good, when I tried to add ambe_audio.py I got this error. raise error.CannotListenError(self.interface, self.port, le) twisted.internet.error.CannotListenError: Couldn't listen on 0.0.0.0:50001: [Errno 98] Address already in use. So my repeater is a peer to dmrlink in /opt/dmrlink/bridge/dmrlinkcfg. I also set the same thing up in /opt/dmrlink/ambe_audio/dmrlink.cfg This obviously does not work, so can anyone straighten me out?

DMRGateway
by Robert Newberry 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

So I followed instructions from previous emails. I first went to my rpt.conf and did this rxchannel = usrp/127.0.0.1:34001:32001 Then Configure dmrlink.cfg in /opt/dmrlink/ambe_audio as a master Configure the repeater to point at the Pi as a peer. cd /opt/dmrlink/ambe_audio Test it by running python dmrlink.py in ambe_audio Watch the log stop dmrlink.py If you have rebooted DMRGateway should be running. Check it with ps ax | grep DMRGateway If not start it with /usr/local/bin/DMRGateway & Make sure asterisk is running and connect a node to it so you can hear it. start python ambe_audio.py Everything looks OK on the output, other than not hearing myself. I am also using TS2 TG2 which by the looks of the default ambe_audio.cfg in /opt/dmrlink/ambe_audio has TG2 in the filter. Is there any other ports I need to set? It looks like most things are set default.

DMR Gateway
by Mike Zingman 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Progress has been made. I finally got a chance to focus back on the return channel of the gateway and it works. I have had successful QSOs using the new code where: Analog Radio <----> DIAL w/ USRP <----> DMRGateway <----> DMRLink <---> TG9998 This was a full two way path with the DV3000 doing both encode and decode. ambe_audio.py has been extensively modified to support the return channel and DMRGateway is tasked with the Allstar to DMR linkage. This code is not ready for prime time yet (the configuration files need to be updated with additional values, error checking, code cleanup/refactoring) but an Alpha release will be available to all testers soon. Once the code is cleaned up all source will be released to allow others to modify/extend. I specifically want to thank Cort for his amazing code base. Without it, there is no way I could have added this functionality. Open source rocks. This is so cool, thanks!!!! Mike

Brandmeister

Well I set my bridge up for 3100 and I'm being heard on BM 4639, but I can't hear anyone. I checked that I am bringing 9-3100 both directions. I'm sure I'm missing something, just not seeing it yet. N1XBM Apparare Scientor Paratus Communicare Allstar Node # 27086, 41540, 41812, 42086, 42658

Monitor tool
by Robert Newberry 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Is there any software available to monitor dmrlink? I was thinking something along the lines like how I use allmon2 to monitor my analog network. I've noticed people running c-bridges have a website like allmon2 where they can see who is connected. N1XBM Apparare Scientor Paratus Communicare Allstar Node # 27086, 41540, 41812, 42086, 42658

I was putting my DV3000 together with my RPI2 and I noticed my clear vilros case with no longer fit together. Anyone have any case suggestions?
