Hello, I have a need to sometimes silence my Allstar node to not make any connect/disconnect announcements. Going thru the docs, I cannot identify how this can be easily done. Anyone know? Thanks.

Dual Mode (DV and FM) systems go-live
by Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) 07 Jul '12

07 Jul '12

Hi All; After months of development / testing and challenges with my repeater site <G>, we now have two fully functional / automatic D-STAR compatible and FM (app_rpt enabled) repeaters on-the-air in the Greater Toronto Area. The repeaters both use commercial grade FM repeaters. The auto-switching between FM and DV is managed by an external multiplexer that Jon (VA3RQ) and I designed. In the case of repeaters that have two audio inputs (TXA and TD), the multiplexer allows for the switching of audio between these 2 inputs (FM audio into the TXA input and D-STAR 'data' into the TD input). For repeaters that have only one audio input, the Multiplexer caters for this case too. Please contact me off-list for further details. Just for the record, we are not selling the Multiplexer, it is an open source project, the schematic is available, you build it, you get to enjoy it :). Cheers! Ramesh.

Wade, There is some information available on the net.

Yes, the URI and URIx work just fine with simpleusb. Set levels with simpleusb-tune-menu. -- Tim :wq On Jul 6, 2012, at 7:02 AM, pete M wrote: > ok I have ts-64 collecting dust, will try that.. > > Just one other thing, will the input/output of the URI will work with simpleusb? > > > > > From: Tim Sawyer > Sent: Friday, July 06, 2012 9:58 AM > To: APP RPT > Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] manually adjust rxtone and rxvoice > > Simpleusb needs a COR and optionally a PL line from your radio.

Simpleusb needs a COR and optionally a PL line from your radio. Here are the steps to switch. Of course you may want to rename rather than delete at steps 2 and 3. 1. copy /usr/src/astsrc/configs/simpleusb/simpleusb.conf to /etc/asterisk/ 2. delete /etc/asterisk/usbradio* 3. delete /etc/init.d/usbradio 4. touch /etc/init.d/simpleusb 5. edit /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf rxchannel=SimpleUSB/usb 6. reboot -- Tim :wq On Jul 6, 2012, at 6:49 AM, pete M wrote: > Thanks Tim > > Yup did try boost or no boost, flat audio, ect.. > > Can you tell me how an I switch to simpleusb from usbradio? > > > > > From: Tim Sawyer > Sent: Friday, July 06, 2012 9:45 AM > To: APP RPT > Cc: Pierre Martel > Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] manually adjust rxtone and rxvoice > > I don't know anything about the IC3200A but some radios just won't work with usbradio.

manually adjust rxtone and rxvoice
by Pierre Martel 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Hi! No mater how I try I cant adjust my node to work with a small ic 3200A as my radio. Got direct connection to the discriminator, same for modulator, and I got my self a cor signal.. Its all working perfectly with my old sound card on my win xp echolink node.. when I connect this to my URI I have to use the lowest possible setting for txvoice and txtone but its ok.. when I try to do rxnoise, it allways fail. from time to time I will have the rxtone pass, but it wont detect station that are more then 10 miles from the radio.. and for rxvoice , it will work ok if rxtone worked.. I did all this setup on a Ic-706 mkIIg and all was so easy.. or Should I start back from scratch? and how do I do it?

Radio connection with TDM400P
by wade 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Good evening all, I am just starting out with all this Asterisk stuff and during my research I had a question that I couldn't find an answer to. Instead of finding and modifying a USB FOB or buying a URI, can I use a TDM400P card in the computer with FXS boards installed? Is there anything I should know about hook up and computer config. before hand? Schematics, drawings, or pictures are always a big help. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Wade KC0LMT

Tone Controll
by Eric Harrison 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Is anyone using tone control in the usbradio.conf file? (txtoctype) No matter how I set this No, Phase, Notone, the tone still rides out the squelch tail, so instead of just hear the voice audio only I get repeater ID'S and CT's as well. Is there somethig else I'm missing? Eric (N7JYS) Marshall's Communications
