[App_rpt] WOW! way to go Allstars!!
by Will 17 Sep '07

This is great guys, I have already started the to add the necessary packages on FC6, but for some reason can't find the rpms for libasound and libasound-devel. Also, would like to now since I have the ARIB card almost working hi hi, I wonder can I run it and the usbsound fob on the same box as 2 radio ports? I would like to configure my FT857D as an agile HF/VHF-UHFremote system and the other to controll the controller to link up a gateway to a wide coverage repeater here in Huntsville, AL. Will / W4WW

[App_rpt] New! app_rpt support for inexpensive hardware
by Stephen Rodgers 15 Sep '07

15 Sep '07

Steve Henke, W9SH, and Jim Dixon have completed the coding of a new channel driver for asterisk named chan_usbradio.c which allows app_rpt to work with modified USB sound fobs based on the CM108 chip. There is an initial write up about this new hardware interface on my site at http://app-rpt.qrvc.com/usbsoundfob.html. The USB channel driver has DSP code in it for CTCSS detection and generation, squelch, pre-emphasis and de-emphasis, audio level setting, and soft limiting. You only need to make 3 connections to a repeater. Discriminator audio, transmit audio. and PTT. A COR input is supported, but not required. The hardware is really inexpensive! USB sound fobs can be bought for $7.95 at places like geeks.com. You will need 3 resistors, a Shottky diode, and an NPN transistor in order to complete the modification. A schematic detailing the modifications and pictures of the USB sound fob before and after modification are posted on at the URL above. I am working on a set of detailed modification instructions with pictures so that those who want to use this interface can modify the USB sound fob themselves. Have Fun! Steve Rodgers, WA6ZFT

[App_rpt] Cannot understand Radio requirements
by Mohamed A. Gombolaty 09 Sep '07

Dear All, I am very interested in using the radio option in conjunction with my already created asterisk network, but I have no experience in the radio part nor have I any close idea about. I studied this application requirements and saw the hardware needed they describe a radio quad which uses RJ 45 but I can't see where the RJ goes in order to be able to communicate with the radio devices, I have absolutely no knowledge in two way radio devices so I hope some one could complete the full picture for me behind the radio quad. And what I plan to use this feature is to expand my * PBX network to remote sites and use it to talk to onsite engineers through the two way radio devices using iaxrpt. -- Thx MAG
