DTMF passthrough (silly question?)
by Anthony Percy 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hi all, Does anyone know if its possible to allow DTMF tones to be heard on the app_rpt repeater? Currently all DTMF tones are "swallowed" by app_rpt (or more specifically chan_usbradio?) I have searched the asterisk docs where it talks about DTMF being terminated by the channel driver and then regenerated by asterisk but the "how to do this" alludes me so far! regards Anthony Percy VK2ACP

Hi All; Has anyone experienced an issue with the USB fob and other devices that keep on falling off the device list on DELL SFF PC's? This is happening on 2 separate DELL boxes (I don't have the model # handy).. one box is an Asterisk / app_rpt box and the other is a D STAR box communicating with an external GMSK modem. Thx! Ramesh.

Using 1750 Hz Toneburst
by David Osborn 11 Jun '10

11 Jun '10

Hi guys, Just want to check that I'm not doing something wrong here... We have a couple of users with no CTCSS facilities who would like to use our nodes. To that end I thought I'd try enabling 1750Hz access as per http://app-rpt.qrvc.com/node/156. When I reloaded app_rpt, I couldn't get my node to respond to me at all when attempting to wake it up with my hand-held- not even with CTCSS. Here's what I put in the [Node] stanza: ; Your Repeater ; [2483] ; Change this to your assigned node number rxburstfreq=1750 ; set burst frequency to 1750 Hz rxbursttime=500 ; set minimum decode time to 500mS rxburstthreshold=15 ; set minimum s/n ratio for decode Commenting-out these lines restores normal operations. This is the latest ISO build of AllStar - downloaded and installed only a few days ago. Have I made a booboo, or do we have a snag here? Cheers David GD4HOZ (2480 - 2484)

needed: Linux package building guru

We are formulating a distribution of libshout/ezstream/lame for web streaming purposes and have a problem with building from sources. We are interested in building an 'ezstream' that only does mp3's. We dont care about ogg, vorbis, or theora. Unfortunately, when you just load the latest libshout and ezstream source, ../confiugre them and make install them, the ./configure script for ezstream dies claiming that libshout is not installed (when it clearly is). My package builder dude at least found a kludge that required installing some rpm's and stuff, but we would REALLY like to distribute just the sources so that it will be able to be built on whatever. Obviously, the package install of libxml2-devel is desired and necessary but all the rest of the yum/rpm stuff in there is a bunch of poo. If you can help, please download: http://allstarlink.org/acid-stream.tar.gz. There is a 'doit.sh' file in there that builds it in the current state. Although it works on ACID, we really would prefer doing it right. Thanks!! JIM WB6NIL

Desktrac and URI
by Shane Young K0SEY 06 Jun '10

06 Jun '10

Since it was raining today, I decided to take advantage of my recently destroyed windows workstation and try to get my repeater back on the air. I'm using a desktrac repeater and was reading the notes: http://app-rpt.qrvc.com/node/138 There are two types of connections. One for flat audio and one for processed audio. I'm interested in hearing from others who have tried both and which worked better. --Shane

G'day mates -- New functionality for our Aussie friends
by Jim Duuuude 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

First of all, congratulations on convincing your government into letting you make outbound autopatch calls to your local PSTN. In honor or this occasion, I have added a new parameter (the 'patchconnect' parameter in the rpt.conf clause for each node) to specify a sound file that is played both on the air and over the tele when the called party answers, in order to address the regulatory issues involved with this in your country. Its implemented in app_rpt version 0.250 which will be available on the SVN server in about 1/2 hour from now. You know, even though its not a requirement here in the USA, its not a bad idea to use this feature to avoid potential embarrassment and/or potentially jeopardizing ones license. Just a thought...
