Hi All; Agreed, this has nothing to do with app_rpt but there is a lot of Asterisk expertise here! If anyone is using the SNOM M3 DECT phone with Asterisk, please contact me off list. Thanks! Ramesh.

connpgm / discpgm
by Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Hey Guys; I need to execute a couple of scripts when a connection is first established and then disconnected. I have the following in rpt.conf: connpgm=full_path_to_script/name_of_script discpgm=full_path_to_script/name_of_script This doesn't seem to be calling the script - I don't see any attempt to call the script when monitoring CLI either. Any ideas? Thx! Ramesh.

New rc.updatenodelist script
by Stephen Rodgers 27 Sep '09

27 Sep '09

I put a new version of the rc.updatenodelist script on http://dl.allstarlink.org/installcd/rc.updatenodelist A few things have changed: 1. nodes3.allstarlink.org node server supported 2. Added additional check for garbage downloaded 3. Automatic reselection of a new download server when 100 successful downloads have been completed. This helps balance the load on the node servers. 4. Added a Back off timer to reduce server load if a node isn't authorized, or there is no network connectivity. To install in ACID, you must save your old copy of the script in /etc/rc.d/rc.updatenodelist, then download and copy the new script over the top of the old script: cd /etc/init.d cp rc.updatenodelist rc.updatenodelist.bak wget -O rc.updatenodelist \ http://dl.allstarlink.org/installcd/rc.updatenodelist And then reboot your system to load the new script Steve WA6ZFT

Packet Modes and USB Interface
by John (WB5NFC) 27 Sep '09

27 Sep '09

Is anyone in the group using an Icom IC-207 as a node radio? I recently purchased one at a bargain price at a local hamfest. The radio has a data plug for packet operation and is menu-selectable for either 9600 bps or 1200 bps. 9600 bps has two modes, G3RUH or GMSK. Other than pinouts, the owner's manual is little help. I've never messed with packet... For best audio quality and reliability, what settings are most appropriate? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. John / WB5NFC

Hello to everyone
by Orland Lopez 26 Sep '09

26 Sep '09

I finally get to be where I can post questions, Comments regarding this excellent software....Pheeew. I wanted to let anyone know that if they are any Spanish Speaking Hams that need assistance setting up their nodes I am more than happy to help. I've been working with Jose in the Canary Islands, Spain, setting up their system and we are just about done. For me this has been a learning experience relearning the OS as I drifted away from it, but It is all coming back to me. I got my own system on one them IPAQ 500MHz computer with 512Meg of memory running rtpDir, yes yes i know that sound cheap bur funds are not the greatest to get an URI at this very moment. There are quite a few things I dont get about the syntax used in most of the configuration files but will read on past threads. I want to thank the creators of this project for all their effort in advancing RoIP. -- Gracias y 73's Hasta la Vista KI6LNX

echolink announce callsign
by James Nessen 25 Sep '09

25 Sep '09

Ok, so I have a couple echolink announce requests (probably nitpicky, but hey). 1. Have the choice for the call to be announced with letters or phonetically? i.e. Kilo Six Juliet Whiskey November vs K6JWN 2. Have the -L or -R announced as Link or Repeater i.e Kilo Six Juliet Whiskey November dash Lima vs Kilo Six Juliet Whiskey November Link or K6JWN-R vs K6JWN Repeater Jim, K6JWN
