Resistor divider
by Robert Newberry 30 Oct '13

30 Oct '13

I need help, I am using a Mastr II and a URI. I want to use the vol/sql hi for my discriminator audio. I was going to use a resistor divider to pad down the audio. Has anyone ever done this? Could you explain it in more detail to me. 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. I assume one end goes to vol/sql hi, but where does the far end go? Thanks for your help Apparare Scientior Paratus Communicare -N1XBM

Need to switch a controler with 2 node from a simple pc to a real server hardware platform ( 2 power supply, hot swap raid (mirror) scsi hard disk, 1U 19 inch rack space, 8 gig ram, 2.0ghz dual core xeon cpu ) When it’s free why not use it! beside the /etc/asterisk/ folder are there any other file I need to back up to the new controler? Will stick with Acid...

having localplay say date
by Geoff 28 Oct '13

28 Oct '13

Is there a 'dow' (day of week) setting that would allow Allison, in conjunction with the time, to say what Day of the week it is? I've edited chrontab to have an hourly chime that spits out the local time. Mondays are hard... I need help ;-) Ultimately, I'd like to be able to hear; Today is Monday, October 28. Good morning, the time is 11 o'clock, AM. If there were a speech engine that could take text and convert it to speech, then I suppose a string with the variables would be generated, but that's not -really- the direction I wanted to do. Ideas? -Geoff/W5OMR 29655

App_rpt audio recording ( archive ) bug
by Matt Beasant 27 Oct '13

27 Oct '13

Hi, Somewhere between version 0.303 and version 0.320 of app_rpt the achivedir audio recording got broken and now only works for traffic coming in from the internet and not coming in from the radio - a silent file which includes any courtesy tones is recorded instead. I updated Asterisk on one of my nodes over the weekend and now this feature is broken - does anyone know of a way I can install version 0.303 on this node to fix the problem? I tried to use viewvc to seek out the version I need but the system there seems to use different version numbers ( 1.493 etc ). Any help greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Matt G4RKY

URI to Alinco cable schematic
by Doug Crompton 27 Oct '13

27 Oct '13

Does anyone have a link for a URI to Alinco connection schematic (DB25-DB9) or for that matter to other radios also. There seems to be a big market for $50+ pre-made cables that use less than $10 in parts for those that don't know how to use a soldering iron. No offense to those trying to make money but some of us would rather do it ourselves. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio

creating new server
by Doug Crompton 24 Oct '13

24 Oct '13

Ok on the allstarlink.org page under creating a new server it asks for lat/long. but it forces you to use the map. The map does not display! All I get is blank space with lat/long entry blocks below but you cannot manually enter any values. I am using firefox latest version and win7. Anyone else having this problem? 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio
