Kewl! Just my future my plans with my rtcm too, I wanting to get it portable. Look forward to the pic. And any further insight on mark's subscription based hosting platform?

I decided recently to start building my mobile data carry alongs based upon a cradlepoint router, so far so good. So my Tmobile mobile device is comprised of a cradlepoint, and their 4G usb FOB. This works great for what I need it for?. Recently I found myself in an area where I didn't have very good tmo coverage so I grabbed a Verizon 4G lte FOB. I haven't thought about *incoming* data until working on my linking projects. > > > > This is where my mobile plan fell apart. > > It appears that most all of these 4G/LTE providers are going to a Natted private network on the 4G/LTE side. This isn't true of their 3G network, but is of their 4G side. Well as you might imagine if you don't have control of the NAT ad port forwarding, you can't put a server on user side of a 4G device :(. > > BUT then I had an epiphany (probably late because everyone else is already there)? > > The RTCM works so well for remoting my repeater?. Why not just use it as the mobile controller and instead of running a server remotely, just run an RTCM remotely back to a server. I think this will solve my problem. And perhaps make this even simpler to deal with along with a 4G type data connection. > > Anyone already wandered this path and what are you using? > > > > Thanks, > > Alan > > > > _______________________________________________ > App_rpt-users mailing list > App_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org > http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users >

Hooking URI to accessory port of Yaesu vx7000
by Bradley Haney 03 Jun '12

03 Jun '12

I have got some good info from the group on pin outs on the DB25 side of a vx 5000 repeater, I know mine is a 7000 but close but I am having a little trouble on what should i set the URI up to.. not sure if it shoudl be duplex 3 or 2, 1, or 0.. The allstarbox i do NOT want to be doing the repeat functions so i am adding this to the repeater as the add on. so that way if the box crashes the repeater just keeps working. By Chance does anyone have a good set up USBRADIO.CONF file they would like to share how they connected to a yaesu repeater ? Thanks bradley

Hmm, did I just fine another bug?
by Alan Adamson 02 Jun '12

02 Jun '12

So I have a node that I can connect to another node on the same box. This is a hardwired connection so I have telemdefault=0 set on it. I was testing time outs and found what appears to be an issue, but then again, maybe not if I set the time out value on node A to something really short. say 5 seconds. When I have node A connected to Node B (the hardwired node), if I transmit on node A for more than 5 seconds, I get the timeout message and then the transmitter shuts off.. HOWEVER, the linked node keeps transmitting and follows the PTT of the transmitter that caused the timeout. Now what I'm about to go test is that I'll be that the above is by design and what will time out the node B is when it's totimer expires.. Did I find an issue or is it working as designed and the 2 TO timers are totally independent of one another (as they should be), but also connected to the originating cause - meaning the tx that is held keydown for longer than node A's timer but still holds node B in a PTT state?

command mode
by w6reb 02 Jun '12

02 Jun '12

How do you change the command mode to something other than *4 ? Commented it out but still works, so there’s something somewhere else that directs this to *4 other than in the rpt.conf stanza. I’ve got someone that likes to play around.

Re: [App_rpt-users] RTCM question
by Alan Adamson 02 Jun '12

02 Jun '12

Thanks Jim.. hoping to have all this in *service* next week. Levels still need a tweak or two. I complicated things a bunch because the repeater is a new Icom IDas digital NXDN repeater, but it's running in hybrid mode with 25khz analog and 6.25khz digital. For now the Allstar side via the RTCM will be connected via analog, but at some point, I hope to move it to the digital side, not to do anything with the digital bitstream, more because the range of the repeater is so much greater when in digital, audio will still come out to the allstar side via analog, but decoded from digital when I get to that stage (course I have no idea if DTMF will decode when I get there or not :).)

Folks, I will be running a panasonic CF-29 Mk4 for my server at the repeater site. The issue is lack of USB ports. Is anybody running a hub successfully and if so, which make / model? Jay, W5GM

My new challenge
by Alan Adamson 01 Jun '12

01 Jun '12

Ok, this can't be as hard as it appears. How on earth can you pass dtmf through once you are linked to a node? Scenario User connects to node A, node A is connected to a box that wants DTMF to control it. User A wants to go into some form of *mode*, where they can enter DTMF from a mic keypad and have it sent (not mutted) to the box connected on node A. I at first thought it was command mode, but no, that just sends the command sequences (not dtmf) in the software to deal with remote commanding. I want to send live DTMF. Another option, is perhaps there is a way to not mute DTMF on a node stanza basis? Thanks, Alan

Hello Bradley,Might be a problem with the Web Transceiver itself. I can't seem to connect to anyone at the moment.73Kyle K0KN--- Original Message ---Hello all. Got a odd one here.. not sure what happened but i do not get any audio from the node to my web transceiver. I get audio when i test it coming to my echo link node on my iPhone, but nothing through the web trans. I canTX on the web trans at it works fine but no rx. any thought? Bradley
