Ramesh, I don't know where the problem would be off-hand, but what I would try going back to a single node system, delete the tune file(s) and gradually add things until it either works, or you can determine the thing that breaks it. Do things one step at a time noting the results at each step. Then revert back to the prior step to see if functionallity is restored. One thing that mildly concerns me is that usbradio_tune.conf should never, ever be copied. Tuning must be done from scratch on an addtional nodes as they are added.

Addition of a second node - messed up node 1
by Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi Steve and all; I attempted adding a new node (2424) onto my existing system where I have 2182 and 2248 running. 2182 is a real node using a usbfob; 2248 is my chan_dstar node. I followed the instructions in the ACID admin guide when adding the new node - modified the 4 files as instructed (rpt.conf, iax.conf, extensions.conf and usbradio.conf). That all went fine - got node 2424 setup and reporting to the stats page. I was able to use CLI and connect 2182 to 2424. I then noticed that there was no audio passing from 2182 over to 2424. I then tried issuing DTMF from 2182 and no go - CLI did not show my DTMF! Speaking with Jon (VA3RQ) who recently setup a 2 node system, we edited the rpt.conf and usbradio.conf files such that the 2 nodes specified Radio/usb0 and Radio/usb1 respectively. Similarly, we renamed and edited the usbradio_tune_usb.conf file to reference usb0, and also renamed the file name to usbradio_tune_usb0.conf and usbradio_tune_usb1.conf respectively. No luck - still no audio into the (original) fob. Unfortunately, I'm unable to test audio into the new fob since the mods are not complete! Since I had saved all of the original files, I rolled back to the original 4 files (single node, 2182) and unfortunately, I have the same symptoms - no audio into the fob. In fact when I go into debug mode, I do not even see a carrier from the fob. Audio out of the fob works fine! Is it possible that I've messed up something else when trying to add the second node - i.e., something other than the 4 files mentioned that would have an impact on the fobs ability to sense any of the inputs? Deaf in Toronto.... Ramesh.

URI's I/O fan control
by Will Wright 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hello to the group, I wonder if anyone would like to share a timing circuit and it's programming use with one of the URI I/O pins, lets say to control a fan to keep the transmitter cool on transmit and off when not in transmit. Thanks Will / W4WWM

Please try posting issues and questions to this list first!

All, If you have a question or an issue with app_rpt,chan_irlp,chan_echolink.limey linux or ACID, which can be shared in a public forum, please do post it to this list first! Contacting the developers initially should only be used for confidential messages or communications which is off-topic which don't belong in a public forum in the first place. This is more efficient because everyone can participate and learn from the answers and it ensures that the the authority most cognizant sees the message and can provide the best answer. It also provides a record of the questions and answers which can be browsed in the archives. When answering messages on the list, please be sure that the response goes back to the mailing list and not just to the originator! Our mailing list configuration defaults to sending the response directly to the originator of the message for privacy reasons so you will have to manually override this so that everyone gets to see the response.

Changes to CHAN_IRLP
by Steve Agee 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Jim, I understand you are considering changes to chan_irlp that would prohibit simultaneous connections to both systems at the same time. I'd ask that you at least leave a user selectable flag in the file. For example, on the IRLP Dallas Reflector channel five, I have permission to run other voip systems at the same time. If simultaneous connections are not permitted then I will have to go back to running a separate IRLP node as well. Thanks, N5ZUA
