Frequency Agile Remote - Continued
by Robert A. Poff WB3AWJ 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

Still can't set the frequency on an XCAT. I've done a complete clean install. By running Asterisk in the foreground and turning up the debug levels, I see the CIV command being sent to the XCAT is FE FE 20 E0 08 01 FD Which if I'm right is trying to retrieve memory #1 from the radio. Not write to the VFO (function 05 instead of 08). In rpt.conf I have the remote defined as xcat (remote = xcat) . So what gives? Again, this was working before I updated from a version of app_rpt from about a year ago, to current. Robert A. Poff Loganville, PA.

Matthew, That is correct, sorry for having so much trouble trying to explain.

PL Encode Disable
by Robert Garcia 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

All, I have sifted through the documentation, but I haven't been able to find much that directly relates to this. When using simpleusb as an interface, can you setup one of the I/Os to trigger a PL enable or disable input on a radio? The goal would be to disable IDs and system messages from being encoded as is normally configured on external controllers. Robert N5QM

Help with hanging PTT on BeagleBoard
by Michael Wolthuis 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

This is a new problem I have not experienced. I have a maxtrac RX and a maxtrac TX hooked up I believe appropriately to the BeagleBoard. The board detects COR fine and turns the TX PTT on, however, when the COR drops, the PTT stays lit on the board and the TX stays transmitting indefinitely (at least I haven't found the timeout yet). Any suggestions on what I may have screwed up on this one? I don't have this issue on any of my other Beagleboards. Mike kb8zgl

Freqency Agile Remote
by Robert A. Poff WB3AWJ 24 Jul '13

24 Jul '13

After having the project sit idle for about a year, I've been getting my frequency agile remote ready to deploy. I had everything working fine on the workbench testing with iaxRpt. Then I thought, "I should update to the current version.....". So first I did a system update with "yum -y update". Then I did the Acid SVN update. Now I can't retrieve a memory defined in rpt.conf. example : 40 = 146.970,123.0,-rt Any attempt results in an "invalid frequency" response. And with a serial tracker in line I don't see data being sent to the radio. I've also tried sending it as a direct entry such as *1146*970*2. That doesn't work either. If I restart Asterisk, when I connect the first time with iaxRpt, it does send the init string. And the radio goes where it's supposed to. So I know the iospeed/port/CIV are all set right. This is using a Syntor X with an XCAT on ttyS0 at 19200. Which all worked before I did the update. Any ideas? Robert A. Poff Loganville, PA.
