ACID CD on Thumb Drive install?
by nuhtrue＠gmail.com 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

So I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the proper way to make the ACID CD image copy/boot properly on a thumb drive? When I try using Unetbootin, I end up getting the standard CentOS installation (which I assume means it's missing the correct install scripts or something) My existing portable CD drive hangs on boot with this particular computer. Of course,given enough time there's another way around this dilemma, but in the meantime please humor me.... I can obtain another portable CD drive but I really like to figure these kind of things out... Thanks. Bob KK6RQ

Setting up a Pico node with Pickle
by Eric Moeller 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

I have a Beagle Board with LOX and am trying to set it up but running into a brick wall. I've installed pickle on the SD card, booted the beagle up, logged in and configured the network setting but now what? I've configured a node using the ACID Linux and expected sorta the same thing with it asking me to enter my Allstarlink.org credentials and going from there but after setting up the network I'm just stuck with a command prompt. I've searched through this list server and spend a couple hours on Google but have not been able to find a "How-to" with setting up pickle. Can someone point me in the direction on what I need to do to set up pico/pickle. Eric Moeller N5FOG

Using APP_RPT with PCI-E CM-based sound card with GAME PORT
by Scott 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

I have access to a PCI-E 4.1 sound card based on the CM-chipset (don't know the exact one). In addition to the standard fare of audio jacks -- mic & line in, and line out, it has a game port (MIDI). Can app_rpt be configured to work the game port's pins for PTT (TX) and COS for use in a SIMPLEX and/or FD REPEATER configuration. With thanks,

allstarlink.org Registration
by Tony Olivero 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Hello: I have submitted a registration request to allstarlink.org, but never received confirmation instructions or a response to an e-mail I sent to a contact address listed on the website. Does anyone know how to get in touch with someone to either have those instructions re sent or to change my e-mail address that was used (there may have been a hang up with my League forwarding address). Thanks all for any help. Looking forward to experimenting with app_rpt. Tony AD9O

Good Laugh
by Alan Adamson 14 Jun '12

14 Jun '12

An hour ago, I wouldn't have suggested the title, but the further I get away from it the more I just set back and laugh. Here's what happened. At about noon today I was talking to a friend on my repeater, it was linked to Allstar. I decided to switch to my simplex base. When I did I had this annoying giddie-up tick tick tick sounds. It sounded like packet lost, but was very rhythmic. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I checked the obvious, swapped cables, swapped URI's, tore down all the links, isolated just that one and used the iaxrpt client to see if I could start to take things out of the equation. I replaced the switch that everything was connected too. Still there. Next I rolled back recent svn changes thinking it must have been in one of those. Now the strange thing was that it was isolated to only one URI, and only the TX side of it. I confirmed that with Echolink, IRLP echo reflector, ever way I could think of. Now at this point, it was going on 2 hours of debug time. Next I started pulling out features I had enabled. All along trying to remember when I knew the last time was that it sounded good and what had changed. I even went to the effort rebuilding the ALSA drivers. Still the problem. I was at a loss. I was about to send a note asking if anyone else had ever seen this when I thought.. Hmm I wonder if it's the Transmitter. I pressed its PTT and the sound was there, so I pulled all the cables attached to it and did it again. Yep, still there. Powered it off and back on and everything was perfect again. Hooked everything back up, rolled all my changes back in, rebooted and poof it came right up, not issues whatsoever. Damn, just goes to show you. it's always the *simple* things.. But in this case it was the last thing I checked :(. So, 4hrs of debug, and it was as simple as resetting the TX. At some point, it had got into a strange state. You can bet I won't make the mistake again! Alan

MDC 1200 over RTCM Voter Possible??
by Doug Bade 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

I am curious if anyone has set up rtcm's and used mdc1200 over them especially during a vote??? And I am pretty sure the answer is no, but can 2 RTCM ( non voted direct link) units talk to each other directly without a Host ALLStar Link system.

I got a PTTLOCK timeout.. I have no idea why, it was connected to a reflector at the time. But it most likely caused the allstar node that it was connected too to timeout first.. Question is, where if at all, is that stuff logged in the allstar environment? Or how can I setup logging to monitor either RX or TX timeouts? Alan
