Registration issues
by Randy Ballard 07 Dec '13

07 Dec '13

My nodes 27365 and 27751 both on same server is showing on the status page but not showing in the rpt_extnodes on other nodes im using standard port 4569. we have been seeing this with several nodes in our group over past month or so of coarse if we define in the rpt file we can connect but would be nice if it was registering. sometimes it may show up in a few hours or a day generally a reboot and its gone again Thanks for any help in advance 73 Randy KB3HJC

Hello, How do you adjust the audio levels on the node only. In the irlp world I use "Aumix". What do I use in the App_rpt world. Repeater using 2 gm300 and DMK Urix. Sal N6SPD Node 28365

Re: [App_rpt-users] Beagle Board-xM + LOX OS and power consumption

Can't help you there. Don't know but I bet the RTCM is pretty low current draw. -- Tim :wq On Dec 24, 2011, at 8:27 PM, Ron Morell wrote: > Tim, > OK, good to know. Now that the new firmware has the "fail over" to become a simple controller, is the CTCSS still generated in that mode with the new firmware? This device is so new, it is hard to understand just what to expect from it.

Noisy Sound FOBS
by Ron Simpson 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Hey guys, I just got in some really cheap CM108 type sound FOB's from China, they work, I use the DSP for COR and CTCSS with the DB25 pins for ptt. However, I am hearing some really noisy sound when I access this node. I setup a DMK URI on the same node, no noise. Has anyone encountered this before? Is it the cheap sound FOB's or is there something else I need to do. I have my audio voitage divider feeding the RX Input, I have that fed by a 10uf cap. No DC bias on the chip. I am feeding the FOB with a VHF Maxtrac 300 discriminator audio, JU551 in position A. plenty of audio, PL detect and COR is very reliable. I use this as a RX only node. A very simple hardware configuration. Any ideas? Ron Simpson, N6GKJ Amateur Radio ................... Have you ever noticed that when you are looking for something, it is always found in the last place you look?

Re: [App_rpt-users] local telemetry
by Jim Kehler 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

That works with "status" commands, i.e., * 1 - Force ID (global) * 2 - Give Time of Day (global) * 3 - Give software Version (global) * 4 - Give GPS location info * 5 - Last (dtmf) user * 11 - Force ID (local only) * 12 - Give Time of Day (local only) because there are two commands defined for the time/ID functions (local or global). But the question remains how to do that with "ilink" commands, which are what do the standard "70" and "73" DTMF commands. There don't seem to be different local/global ilink commands for "system status" and "full system status". * 5 - System status * 15 - Full system status (all nodes) Maybe there's a way to "turn off" the propagation before the command and turn it back on after it's done? It would be nice to be able to get a full system status on the local node without waking everybody up that's connected. 73, Jim KH2D On 2/22/2012 8:24 AM, Bill South wrote: > Check the status values in your "functions" stanza of rpt.conf.
