Echo-stink
by Johnny Keeker 05 Jan '15

05 Jan '15

I've found the 'permit=w1aw,w5yi,etc' line in the echolink.conf only allows for 29 allowed calls. Any more than 30 entries in the list prevents incoming requests on or not on the list access to the node. Short of checking for typo's, using a backslash\ to continue to the next line, or adding another 'permit= line' hasn't proved any results. ???

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

Radio Console

I'm trying to develop a TAXI radio dispatch application. Something like this: http://www.motorolasolutions.com/US-EN/Business+Product+and+Services/Dispat… I have 3 radios (with different private frecuencies) connected to the asterisk with 3 URI interfaces. The basic features of app_rpt and iaxrpt are working OK. Now, the problems... 1) Sometimes i need to talk to 2 or 3 of the radio channels at the same time. With the iaxrpt I can select and talk to only one radio, only one active call. 2) Also, i need to listen to the audio of the 3 calls (base radios), not only the selected call. Sadly, i can't open iaxrpt multiple instances in the same PC... 3) Is there any way i can detect wich taxi is talking to the radio? I'm a programmer, but I'm a newbie in the radio field. It would be great if any of you can sell me some consulting hours to accomplish this project. Thanks in advance John

Router issue
by Harry Romano 07 Nov '13

07 Nov '13

Hello All, I have 3 nodes total 2 nodes are connected with fobs to computer 1 another the 3rd node is connected with a fob on computer 2 . The 2 nodes on the first computer work great. The node on the 2nd computer will not connect to anything except the allstar node list( the fob works ). In my router (Linksys) I have the ports forwarded to the first computer but when I try and forward the ports to the 2nd computer the router says overlapping ports. The computers are set to 2 different static IP addresses. All three nodes log into the allstar web-transceiver page but the node on the 2nd computer will try and connect then it immediately disconnect. They all show up on the node list. Is there a way to make the 2 nd computer with the single node work behind my router. I also tried to DMZ the second computer but still it does not connect. I could sure use some help please. 73 Harry Romano KC4RPP

multicasting.

Got a problem with one of my repeater. I live in Montreal QC, and as many of you know we are bless with a small mountain right in the middle of the city. (Mount-Royal) While if you have the blessing of having a repeater on top of it, the coverage is marvellous. (but I am not blessed at all!!!) So I have nice repeater to cover the north, east, and south of the city, but the damn mountain prevent me from covering properly the west part of the city. So I was looking at the rtcm to make a multicast/voter system on the other side of the mountain. I have a MSF5000 UHF at the main repeater site, would I be able to use that with the rtcm and I can have a TKR-820 as the remote repeater would I be able to use it too? Or I also have a Desktrac that used to be the UHF repeater before the MSF500 came along.. What would I need to do make sure that its all stable? I think I would need at least 2 rtcm, But I would loose the dsp decoding of ctcss and squelch? Lots of question.. Pierre VE2PF

allstar.org site comment
by Doug Crompton 06 Nov '13

I briefly mentioned this in a previous message. There is lots of great info at the allstar.org website on Alllstar installation, setup, configuration, etc. I can appreciate the time that was taken to put this together. But I have a few complaints. One is that the information is only offered in HTML and it is hard to print. The text is reduced contrast and in general HTML printing is less than desirable. It would be great if these snippets could also be made available in PDF so that a user could print them out the way they are meant to look. I have taken several of them and reformatted them and converted them to PDF. In doing so I have found considerable misspellings in the text. In one document at least 20-30 or more. It is real easy to spell check this stuff so there is no excuse for that no matter how bad you spell! I am attaching the USB radio setup in PDF formatted and spelling corrected. I am sure users like myself would be glad to contribute to an effort to make these documents available in a more printer friendly format. Again I am not trying to knock that site, I appreciate the fact that it is there and the work that went into it. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio

Long Squelch tail problem
by Bill Hurlock 05 Nov '13

05 Nov '13

I had to go back to my URI interface and my FT-736R. I have it set up to do tone encode and decode using the URI. All the encode and decode are working however when I unkey there is a squelch tail that lasts about 1 to 2 seconds. I'm allowing the URI to determine COR thru DSP. The connections are setup for raw audio both ways with the node supplying the pre and de emphasis. I have played with the settings but nothing changes the problem. It isn't a consistent duration of tail. I know it is in tone decode mode because if I turn tone off on the portable I can't open the squelch thru the node. Anyone have any ideas......

Beginner Help - Echolink and Allstar
by Jake Litwin 31 Oct '13

31 Oct '13

I am a beginner to allstar. I have just setup echolink on my Allstar node hub. It is showing up on echolink.org. Two things I need help with... How do you make a call out to a echolink node from the Allstar node? Trying the standard dtmf prefix plus the echolink node did not work. I used the echolink app on my iphone to test. It says Welcome To All Star Node 28980, Echolink Node W9JSL-L, so it looks like it is connecting properly. The problem is that on the app its in receive mode and no option to transmit. Is there something in echolink.conf that needs to be configured to allow the echo iphone app to transmit?

Re: [App_rpt-users] Resistor divider
by Johnny Keeker 31 Oct '13

I use the capacitor it good design practice to isolates the circuits although it will not strip the pl or dpl. If I want to strip pl or dpl, use a Communication Specialists Board. You can try removes their audio cap and add jumpers. "Just kidding". Another consideration, take a look at, pin 16, connector P904, on the IF/Audio Squelch Board; RX PA. The audio is clean and de-emphasized.

I've read you take the two resistors and put them in series. I would tap my URI in the middle where those two resistors meet.
