No Carrier Squelch Mode
by Tim Sawyer 20 Aug '09

20 Aug '09

I am attempting to get carrier squelch mode to work. The relevant parts of my usbradio.conf are shown below. Even with this configuration the repeater is always in P/L decode mode. I know for sure there is not a P/L decoder in the repeater. Any ideas? txctcssdefault=100.0 ; default tx ctcss freq, any frequency permitted rxctcssfreqs=100.0 ; rx ctcss freqs in floating point. must be in table txctcssfreqs=100.0 ; tx ctcss freqs, any frequency permitted carrierfrom=usb ; no,usb,usbinvert,dsp,vox ctcssfrom=no ; no,usb,dsp rxdemod=speaker ; input type from radio: no,speaker,flat -- Tim, WD6AWP :wq

Asterisk and Echolink no direct connected radio
by Todd Birkenholtz 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Fellow Hams and PBX tinkerer's I want to provide a auto-patch and a repeater dial-in for our club repeater using my existing home Asterisk PBX in a Flash setup. Our club repeater is connected to Echolink so I was thinking about creating a Echolink node on my server that users could link to then I would allow an outbound call. On the reverse I would like to provide a repeater dial-in number that would route through my Asterisk server to our club's node via Echolink. Keeping in mind at no time does my Asterisk server actually communicates with a radio directly it is just acting as a Echolink gateway. I have been experimenting with ACID but it appears the radio/usb driver is preventing Asterisk from loading without a actual usb radio connected. If I noload=chan_usbradio in the modules.conf file then Asterisk appears to load but I am still having problems with refrence to it in my rpt.config file. I have been able to configure a Echolink connection but I cant send audio to the connected node when the remote station connects but the Asterisk debug indicates it is. Does anybody have a working Echolink node that they would like to share their iax,echolink,rpt and extensions config file with me. Thanks for your help. 73 Todd Birkenholtz W0IOU

Non-ACID Install
by Tim Sawyer 16 Aug '09

16 Aug '09

Hi, I'm new to both Asterisk and app_rpt. So I thought I'd learn a bit about Asterisk before jumping into app_rpt. I got my Asterisk system installed (from source) on CentOS 5.3 this weekend with the help of the O'Reilly Asterisk book and the documentation for the TDM410. I have a small dial plan working with the TDM410 and two FXS and two FXO ports. "ComedianMail" is working too. Pretty cool stuff! So my question is this. Is it recommended to install the ACID CD and wipe out my hard work, or can I use my existing installation for app_rpt? And would the folks here on the list mind if I ask questions pertaining to installing in this environment? Thanks, -- Tim, WD6AWP :wq

Re: [App_rpt-users] USB Radio config question
by Doug Bade 12 Aug '09

In my case I needed to turn on the software 20db attenuator to get the rx in a tuneable range, and until rx is working I do not think you can set tx....There is a parameter to invoke the 20db pad in the config file....I am using Icom F420 discriminator feeds..and they were too hot to be tuneable....adding the pad in the config file fixed it right up...

USB Radio config question
by Matt Beasant 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi, I must be doing something wrong here. I need pre-emphasised audio for my set up here but when I set the txprelim to yes I cant detect any difference in the audio. I would expect it to be much more toppy if it were pre-emphasised. Also, when going thru the audio level set up procedure, I am unable to set any of the levels right - they all seem to be all or nothing, that is any non zero value results in maximum output level. I've managed to get away with it on the other nodes I have by using external pots but I am clearly doing something wrong! Can I edit the usbradio_tune_usb.conf file to make some changes or am I going to bust something? I've searched on the usual web sites but cant find anything other then the well known audio set up procedure. Thanks in advance for any help or info received. Matt G4RKY

Gain adjustment for chan_rptDir
by Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi Steve / Jim; I am working on node 2461, which is using chan_rtpdir to communicate to the IRLP s/w / IRLP board. I have set the IRLP audio levels to achieve the recommended 3.5kHz deviation on Dave C's test tone. IRLP audio therefore sounds quite good. However, audio from app_rpt is not so good. I sent the test tone from app_rpt and the tone resulted in 2kHz of deviation on the transmitter. Hence, I'm wondering whether it's possible to add a similar 'rtprxgain' and 'rtptxgain' variable to app_rpt to allow gain adjustment between app_rpt and irlp when using rtpDir? Thanks! Ramesh.

how can I get the quad radio pci cards
by destrian 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

I was using the quad radio pci cards for 2 years, and it works well. Now I need more cards but it seems - according the QRVC website- that QRVC do not built the card any longer. Does someone still kept the stock? Or is it possible for me to reproduce the cards? If so, how can I get the gerber file and bill of materials?

PBX in a Flash + APP_RPT + chan_echolink
by Todd Birkenholtz 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

I have an existing "PBX in a Flash" implementation (Asterisk ver 1.4.21.2) I have compiled APP_RPT into Asterisk but can not find the channel driver "chan_echolink" from Digium or from the app-rpt website. Where can I find the "chan_echolink" channel driver? Thanks for your help 73 Todd Birkenholtz W0IOU
