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

Since I've installed my new node on a laptop, I want to be able to close the screen and have it go off and keep the laptop alive so the node will run. Where do I make these setting changes? Thanks 73 Jim W7RY

Does anyone remember who was selling the “IC NODE” ? It was an IRLP box that I want to convert to a Allstar node. I cant seem to find the persons name or call. He was in the mid-west somewhere. Thanks! 73 Jim W7RY

Re: [App_rpt-users] Repeater Audio?
by Alan Adamson 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Yeah, Mark to the rescue. My audio problem is solved. There was a nodeemp parameter that I missed on the voter.conf configuration. This means that NXDN digital is up and functional on Allstar via an RTCM :). bet I sound pretty funky too in my best synthesized voice :). If you want to hear it. Node 28656 is setting here on my floor, no duplexer and hooked to a dummy load and my service monitor :). I'll be playing with a Beaglebone and carrying an HT so I can listen to the system for a while. I'll leave that node down off my normal hookup so it's just an island. I can hook it to my remote base if you want to hear A vs. B. Levels were set with analog, so no promises of what they might be on digital, but I suspect they will be very close. Alan From: app_rpt-users-bounces(a)ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Alan Adamson Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2012 9:47 PM To: app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org Subject: [App_rpt-users] Repeater Audio? isn't exactly Allstar related, but sorta. I've got a challenge that I'm not sure how to resolve. I think I've said this prior. I've successfully glued an RTCM to a New Icom NXDN repeater. This repeater is running in mixed analog mode and the Allstar is gated to analog only. There is no external controller running other than the RTCM. The internal controller functions when there is a digital signal and that doesn't come across allstar. For now that's an issue I'm willing to accept on that repeater. By using the Disc Out and the Mod in, this setup sounds *awesome*, I'm just blown away at how good it all sounds end to end. I'm about to head down this path on a second repeater, but this one I want to bring up as either Digital only or mixed digital. The controller has the above mentioned Disc out, but that only works with an analog signal. To get *transcoded * audio out, you have to use a pin called AF OUT, it's fixed level, but it's not discriminator, at best it sounds like speaker level. This is the only way to get an intelligent audio signal to feed to allstar when running in digital mode, there is no equivalent of discriminator out when in digital mode. Because I'm using an RTCM, I also can't *process the audio* or at least it's not obvious. And putting that audio back out into the network, it sounds really bad. it's too bassy, and muddy, basically it's de-emphasized and it really needs to be pre-emphasized. Is there any way with an RTCM to tell anything that I've got de-emphasized audio and to help it out? (it really needs some form of low pass put on it and the mid/high frequencies boosted). Also for note, I'm running my RTCM in conventional mode, not voter mode. and I have a CTCSS gate that is valid with COR *AND* CTCSS (in digital in NXDN they call that RAN codes). So I either need to filter between the radio and the RTCM or in the Allstar code if possible. BTW, I really have the same problem coming the other way, FM audio coming from Allstar and being then digitized to NXDN digital (AMBE+2 for those that want to know) *can* sound *really* good, but can also sound really crappy. If the person on the talking end is mumbling, or has a very deep voice, it doesn't sound worth crap, if on the other hand the person has a bright voice and talks clearly, it sounds amazing. This has nothing to do with the *emphasis* of this audio, it's FLAT going into the discriminator, the radio from there handles the transcoding. So, as a start, I'm looking for a relatively easy (and cheap) way to take speaker quality audio from the repeater and put it out *improved* on allstar with a RTCM. Note, with a URI, I could do that, but I don't seem to know how if possible with the RTCM/Voter/Rpt.conf stuff. Anyone faced a similar challenge and found an acceptable approach? I thought about trying one of the CAT audio boards, or maybe building a 3 or 5 band graphic equalizer, but I can't be the only person who's had this issue and solved it? Thanks in advance, and let me know your thoughts. ps. I'm happy to give anyone a demo, just let me know and I'll reconfigure my repeater for digital and show you. I'm testing some analog stuff at the moment, and the new repeater is setting on my floor currently. Alan

Audio delay
by Ron Simpson 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Hey guys, Have been running my nodes for several months now. Several users complain to me that my aux receiver node audio is delayed and an echo is heard when you try to listen to the repeater output when using the aux receiver node. The aux receiver node is co-located with the server. I am running a quad PCI card in my server. My system consist of a full duplex UHF link on node 27936, my aux receiver is on 147.6900 mhz, 27937. Node 27937 is a receive only link to node 27936. Node 27936 is setup as a mode "0" simplex link running full duplex. (No repeat audio). Is there a buffer setting I can change to reduce that delay time? Any help would be appreciated Thanks!! Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android
