does anyone else have this problem? I did a test on AVRS on aprs and echolink says my node freq is 0.000 Bradley

Re: [App_rpt-users] Noisy Quad PCI audio
by Ron Simpson 24 Jan '12

Ok, I will give that a try. However... with no tx audio connection, that noise is encoded and sent to nodes I connect to. This noise is sent from node to node with no input. I will try a different PC. 73, Ron - N6GKJ Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android

Noisy Quad PCI audio
by Ron Simpson 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hey guys, I am running an 800mhz VIA ITX Board and a quad pci card. The board is 2004 vintage. I have a distinct noise on TX audio both through my node and remote base. I have shielded cables to both remotes, I have replace the power supply and greatly reduced the high pitch noise. An interesting note: the tx audio port is quiet when first booting the node pc. Once asterisk is running the noise returns. Has anyone seen this before? Do I have a bad main board or did I miss something else.. Thanks for your help! 73, Ron - N6GKJ 73, Ron - N6GKJ Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android

URIx setup
by Will Mitchell 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Hi guys, This is my first post and need some direction. I am trying to get a USB radio and device operational. I have the server loaded with XIPPR. When loading I answered all questions. It is running and useable with IAXrpt. The download config from Allstar took place. I am using a DMK URIx 9095 and it is plugged into the server and blinking green. My first question is even though the configuration was downloaded I am not finding a /etc/asterisk/usbradio.conf file? For instance I tried to give a command to it with no success. (radio key) Other info I am trying to setup a simplex to start. Thank You for any help, Will, K1ZGB – node 28290

Using GPIO lines on a URI
by Marshall Oldham 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Greetings, Has anyone used the GPIO lines on a URI to active a 12 volt DC fan when the PTT is active? I have a friend that who wants to implement this on his All-star node to keep his transmitter cool. I guess that we would need to use a relay with the GPIO line to protect the URI? Any thoughts or suggestions? Marshall - ke6pcv

Can anyone tell me how to disable the connect/disconnect messages from my node? I want to hear when MY node connects, but don't what to here them when someone else connects. Thanks 73 Jim W7RY

new "transparent bridging" application (for those who might be interested)
by Jim Duuuude 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

For those who might be interested: I just added a new application to our distribution that allows for devices, such as a Voter/RTCM board (and other hardware) to provide "transparent" transport of audio/keying. Please the the comment section (from the source file): /* This application is intended to provide a generic "bridging" functionality for radio-oriented Asterisk channels. The idea here is that certain radio applications lend themselves to needing a "generic" (passes audio and tx/rx keying completely transparently) to and from two or more endpoints. An example of such an appication might be replacing (or providing equivlent new functionaliy of) one or more full-duplex UHF control links with an IP-based one(s). app_radbridge allows multiple instances of radio-oriented channels transparently "bridged" together. The config file (radbridge.conf) allows specification of each "bridging" instance and what radio-oriented Asterisk channels are to be associated with it. There is no need for any other specificaiton of configuration. The file format for radbridge.conf departs somewhat from the standard usage (at least for radio stuff) of the Asterisk config file architecture. In most other radio-oriented cases, an instance of whatever it is gets defined as a "Stanza" in the config file. In this case, because of limitations in the way that Asterisk parses config files, that was not possible. Instead, all config information goes into the [general] stanza, and each line of config info defines a different instance of radio bridging. For example: [general] instance1 = Voter/1234,Radio/5678 instance2 = Voter/1235,Radio/5679 This example would define two radio bridging instances "instance1" and "instance2", each with 2 channels associated with them. The supported channel types are "Voter" (chan_voter), "Radio" (chan_usbradio), "SimpleUsb" (chan_simpleusb), and "Zap" ("Dahdi") (chan_dahdi, for the couple of devices that use this channel driver, such as the PCIRadio card, and separate analog channels using an ARIB board or such). Rather then "adding" (which would actually be a lot of *removing* optionally) this functionality in app_rpt, it made more sense to create a separate application specifically for this purpose. In addition, this allows for a system that is merely provided for doing this bridging application and nothing else radio-oriented, to not have to run app_rpt at all. */ Jmi , WB6NIL

Does anyone have a pinout of a URI to a Cat250 Controller handy. Randy
