I have Allstar node 28839 and the problem is I cannot connect to nodes. 28839 will connect to any HUB but I get a connection failed when I try to connect to any node other than a HUB. Nodes *can* connect to me but.... I can't connect to them. when I try to connect to a single node I get this on the CLI :*[Mar 6 19:17:17] NOTICE[327]: chan_iax2.c:4071 __auto_congest: Auto-congesting call due to slow response*, and the announcement of "connection failed" also when connected to a HUB, in transceive and try to connect to another node, no matter the node # I get *-- <Zap/pseudo-619610436> Playing 'rpt/remote_already'* "remote already in this mode" announcement Help? Thank you all for your time Jim Frederick KF6QBW AllStar Node # 28839

Curious - node in Salt Lake?
by Alan Adamson 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

I've got family in and around the Salt Lake area. Find it hard to believe that there isn't a node there (maybe I need to send someone an RTCM :). ). Anyone know of an AllStar node available in the SLC valley? Thanks in advance, Alan

Passing CTCSS / PL Tone Over The Network
by Chris K7AZ 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Can anyone help me with eliminating passing CTCSS / PL tone from a receiver discriminator onto the network? I am using an URIx FOB with external ComSpec CTCSS / PL decoder and squelch gate COR. The 167.9 Hz CTCSS / PL tone is really noticeable while listening using IAXRPT and occupies 50% of the green bar graph. I realize adding a High Pass or Notch filter would help but is there a configuration setting change that will eliminate the tone? Thank you, Chris Hill K7AZ

AllStar RTCM Radio Thin Client Module
by Vince VE3ELB 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Hello All. I would like to ask does anyone use's the Micro-Node Allstar RTCM Radio Thin Client Module (Model MN-5000). I am looking to use one in a remote location where I would not want to have or leave a computer to control a repeater. It looks good but would like to know how well it works. I am very happy with mu URIx but this RTCM look like the ideal unit for the remote Repeater location. Also can it be used as a repeater controller like the URIx. any info you have will help, Links or photos to one thats all setup would be great. Thank You. Vince VE3ELB

Back to the basic

Ok I posted a few days ago that I hade problem loading acid on fairly new MB (dual core amd) Some here told me to stick to P4 and such... But being abit stubborn I started looking around. I dont know if I am entering a no go world here but anyways, I intslled Xipar, and it worked, I did not configure it, but it did intsall and my URI started flashing... Now Is this a good place to discuss Xipar stuff or is there another place? Xipar is not as straight foward to configure (well at least in theory from the docs I found on there web site) and I will need a little help here, specialy regarding the part where I need to connect to allstar So Is here a good place to talk about it or can anyone point to a more suited place? Or I would really prefer to find a way to load centos 6 the acid way? ( I am more confortable there ;-))) Pierre VE2PF

Add p25 channel driver chan_usrp to app_rpt distro
by ikjtel 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Greetings Permit a brief intro - I'm a contributor to the op25 project - which is a "not-for-profit project to bring together folks that are interested in implementing APCO P25 ... under the GNU Public License (GPL)." We currently have a software release that includes an asterisk channel driver (that was designed for use with app_rpt) - for more info please see the wiki page which is http://op25.osmocom.org/wiki/wiki/RepeaterPage The current method for installation of chan_usrp consists of copying the two files chan_usrp.c and chan_usrp.h from our source tree into asterisk/channels, and then doing a source build. That procedure is described at the above linked wiki page but it seems to be causing a lot of pain for our users to compile everything, I was wondering if it might be possible to merge this channel driver into the distro that you have. It should be fairly innocuous - it was simply cloned from chan_rtpdir (IIRC) with our additions. There is still much work to do such as proper P25 handling of DTMF digits and working out analog vs. digital repeating. Nonetheless, app_rpt provides an excellent set of semantics for doing two-way PTT via P25, and it provides a nice bridge for doing true simultaneous multi-channel ops. Even without proper DTMF support and even though repeating currently requires a redundant digital/analog/digital conversion process in order to fit into the app_rpt model, the current capability exists to transmit and receive P25 using either the Ettus USRP hardware or using conventional NBFM transmitter and receiver radios and supports simultaneous real time multi-channel operation in FDX... 73 Max KA1RBI

Node ID Not Working
by Vince VE3ELB 05 Mar '13

05 Mar '13

Hello All. I am using the URIx as a repeater controller and everything works great I just can't get it to ID at the set time or when there is no activity on the node/repeater. I have noticed that it will only ID when you key up the repeater or when I am are connected to another node and after you have had some activity on the node/repeater. I would be grateful if any one can help me fix this and have the repeater ID. Thank You idtime=1800000 politeid=1500000 Running: CentOS 5.9 {Final} app_rpt 0.30012 Vince.
