RTCM error messages fixed

A big thanks to all that helped me in the last few days, Paul, Michael, Mark's (both), and Sam, and with earlier issues, if I hadn't have already thanked the group, I am now ! .. BTW: the error was fixed by having the rxchannel="radio/usb28842" changed to "voter/28842" in rpt.conf and removing the word "Master" from the line "client1 = pass1,transmit,master" in voting.conf (simple interface, non voting use) Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, from my family to all of yours, ...

multicast with msr2000
by pete M 24 Dec '13

Hi, my vhf repeater is an msr2000. with a100 watt full duty PA. I could have a second msr2000 with exact same exciter/receiver board but different PA. First would a msr2000 be a good candidat for multicasting? And does the fact that we would use a different PA at each site a problem?

The thing is that I own a web site hosting company and I don't have itty bitty servers. They are all dual processor with servers boards that don't always have IDE or SATA drive connectors. They are intended to use add-on SATA RAID controllers. I may have an old Promise SATA 150 controller but I'll have to look at the SD drive requirements. I really have no reason against a SD drive other than the hardware I already have on hand and not wanting to spend anymore money. My server will be blessed to be in an actual data center with full time APC/UPS and backups. This brings up another point - has anyone got a distro that puts Asterisks in a Virtuozzo or OPenVZ container? OpenVZ is free and allows easy backups and container migration if a server goes south. Perhaps I can help the group develop a distro like this if there isn't already one.

Deploying Site #1

We are finally in a position to deploy site #1 of a simulcast system. Is the RTCM able to operate without a computer configured somewhere? Like "failover."

Server Hard Drives
by Bob - AF6D 23 Dec '13

Our chosen server is a dual processor dual core Opteron with RAID 0, 1 or 5. We plan on using RAID 1. I was planning on using green drives that power down when not in use but something tells me that Asterisks is going to want full spin-up to avoid dropped data packets. Your guidance is appreciated. Happy Holidays!
