VOIP Conference in Las Vegas
by Keith Williamson 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Is anyone planning to attend the annual VOIP Conference in Las Vegas coming up on April 10th? I'm on the fence about attending and wouldn't want to be the lone guy running an Allstar node in a room full of IRLP node ops. ;^) In case you're not aware of it, here is the URL to the Nevada Amateur Radio Repeater Inc website that describes the event: http://www.narri.org/voip_conference.html To quote the webpage: *The conference is open to all forms of VoIP communications, including IRLP, Echoirlp, Echo link, D-Star and All Star Link, and associated applications. Those interested in presenting a topic should let that be known as they register for the conference.* * * 73's, Keith KF7DRV Allstar: 2541

Issue with archivedir recording on ver 0218
by Keith Williamson 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Hi, I just upgraded from version 0210 to 0218 by doing a full build per Jim's instructions. Everything seems fine so far except that recorded transmissions are now slowed down and very choppy sounding (like speaking though a fan). Has anyone else encountered this? This is a resend of similar email I sent yesterday where I attached a pair of sample wav files (before & after). I guess it didn't get posted because of the attachments. 73's, Keith KF7DRV Allstar: 2541

Kenwood Remote TRX
by Jann Traschewski 18 Mar '10

18 Mar '10

Hi, I have seen in svn revision 565 of app_rpt.c the new "support for Kenwood TM-D700A as a remote". Do we need a special interface (like the TM-G707 needs) or can we simply use a serial cable? Does the dedicated DATA connector in 9600bps Packet Radio mode fit our needs for "flat" audio? Where can I find the informations which has been required to implement this feature? I have another radio from Kenwood (TM-V7) and a selfmade programming cable for the memory store. Could this be another transceiver for a remote controlable station?

OK it worked, I was using a disc with an older version and somehow got it mixed up with the latest and greatest version. I popped that thing in there and took it like a champ. I'll try installing the limey version at a later time.

12.5 kHz repeaters support
by Jann Traschewski 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Hello, my 12.5 kHz repeater system has a long noise tail compared to my 20 kHz repeater system. Both use the USB URI with flat audio and carrier from dsp in carrier squelch mode. Moreover the rxnoise tuning comes with a warning: db0fox*CLI> radio tune rxnoise tune rxnoise maxtries=12, target=27000, tolerance=2750 tries=0, setting=2, meas=15368 tries=1, setting=4, meas=21645 tries=2, setting=5, meas=26274 tries=3, setting=5, meas=25744 tries=4, setting=5, meas=26047 tries=5, setting=5, meas=26010 tries=6, setting=5, meas=26393 DONE tries=6, setting=312, meas=26393, sqnoise=5990 INFO: RX INPUT ADJUST SUCCESS. WARNING: Insufficient high frequency noise from receiver. WARNING: Rx input point may be de-emphasized and not flat. usbradio.conf setting of 'carrierfrom=dsp' not recommended. New repeater systems in germany are now limited to 12.5 kHz. Would be nice to build them with the Asterisk/app_rpt system. Are there any plans to adjust the code for 12.5 kHz systems? I'll have a talk about the Asterisk/app_rpt system in two weeks at a conference in germany.

Hello, Everyone, I have a question that i saw it in the past emails I am trying to install the image on the intel D945GCLF motherboard, it will install and tried to go to the Phase1 post install but fails, instead, it gets me the log in prompt, and I have not set a root password at that point. I read something about it last year and cant seem to find it in the archives. as hard as Im trying I cant remember Can you guys refresh my mind . I cant remember the default passwords when this happens so any help is really appreciated. Gracias y 73's Hasta la Vista KI6LNX

Audiostream
by Jann Traschewski 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hi, we did have an audiostream through the internet (Sox, Lame, Ices, Icecast) on our old repeater system. It has been implemented using a Y-cable and feeding the TX-audio to another soundcard (line-in). I could use the right channel of the URI (txmixb=...) doing the same, but I wonder whether it is possible to "extract" the TX-audio by software and pipe it to Lame for MP3-encoding? Are there any other guys trying this?

COR Problems
by Mark Guibord 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hi Jim, Steve I'm having problems keying up the node when it's configured for COR from the USB interface "carrierfrom=usb". The signal is switching from low to high at pin 8 of the DB25 but does not key the transmitter. Is there a way to view the status of the COR input to the USB dongle? Thanks, Mark

CTCSS and carrier squelch
by Jann Traschewski 08 Mar '10

08 Mar '10

Hello, our repeater is in "carrier squelch"-mode. Since there is much traffic on our repeater we are used to use different subtones for different user groups just for the initial call to request a group member to continue the qso without subtone (so nobody else in the group will be disturbed). Unfortunately this seems to be impossible. We tried these configurations in usbradio.conf: #1 (we tried "0" in rxctcssfreqs/txctcssfreqs in CTCSS dsp-mode) hdwtype=0 ;txctcssdefault=71.9 rxctcssfreqs=0,67.0,71.9,74.4,77.0,79.7,82.5,85.4,88.5,91.5,94.8,97.4,100.0, 103.5,107.2,110.9,114.8,118.8,123.0,127.3,131.8,136.5,141.3,146.2,151.4,156. 7,162.2,167.9,173.8,179.9,186.2,192.8,203.5,210.7,218.1,225.7,233.6,241.8,25 0.3 txctcssfreqs=0,67.0,71.9,74.4,77.0,79.7,82.5,85.4,88.5,91.5,94.8,97.4,100.0, 103.5,107.2,110.9,114.8,118.8,123.0,127.3,131.8,136.5,141.3,146.2,151.4,156. 7,162.2,167.9,173.8,179.9,186.2,192.8,203.5,210.7,218.1,225.7,233.6,241.8,25 0.3 carrierfrom=dsp ctcssfrom=dsp rxdemod=flat txprelim=yes #2 (we tried to disable CTCSS) hdwtype=0 carrierfrom=dsp ctcssfrom=no rxdemod=flat txprelim=yes Is there a way to pass CTCSS tones through the repeater in "carrier squelch"-mode ? I don't care whether it will be decoded/encoded by the software or just passed through the repeater (0-300 Hz passthrough). Currently passthrough of 0-300 Hz seems to be blocked by the software.
