Evening all, It's been a long time since I am sure I did this on my first node build. In the morning I connect to the Winsystem and my node then gets then connects and disconnects while this net is on. I would prefer to only get the first point that my node connect to and then disconnects from and have no other node reports in-between the actual net. I have removed the Echo link connection broadcasts to reduce but would like to reduce the All-Star connection broadcasts please. Whomever helps thanks Kind Regards Keith Handscombe 154e886

uncommnet

So I've gotten into the usbradio.conf file and made some changes. I've also looked at the rpt.conf I was looking at the status reporting section and depending on if I'm running acid or limey. I need to uncomment. I did a startpage search and found reference to removing # but I do not see that in the file. What am I missing? -- Apparare Scientior Paratus Communicare -N1XBM

which file

I bought a URI for my Allstar node. I am having problem with it at this time. problem is when I plug the URI into a usb port it keys up everything that is connected to me or I'm connected to. it does this with or without a radio plugged into the URI. to unkey the node I have to unplug the URI from the usb port. and it don't matter which usb port it's plug into. which file should the URI use? as I see 2 possible files. one called usbradio.conf and the other simpleusb.conf. 73 Russ WL7LP AllStar 29332, 29265

Control opp codes
by Robert Newberry 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Well I'm making headway here. Now I'm confused again. I was looking at a way to have the URI stop asserting the PTT line after hearing a certain DTMF. I see cop, 3 ;system disable. Does this mean DTMF 3 will disable the system? I noticed on ohnosec the rpt.conf.sample it says change these to something other than listed below. Also what exactly happens on a system disable? Thank you Apparare Scientior Paratus Communicare -N1XBM

64 bit
by Ken 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Basically all computers you buy today are 64 bit architecture. If you mean 64 bit operating system (64 bit version of CENTOS) app-rpt will probably run on that. A couple of years ago, as an experiment I installed a 64 bit system, then ran the ACID install script and - while it made various warning messages during the compile - it ran just fine. Over the years I have seen where several other people have done the same. 73 Ken

That did not work here and I dont know why. But as soon that I switched to centos 6 All my device worked perfectly. So I need centos 6 . But the acid instalk script fail all the time. And I dont have the time to modify it. But at the same time the xipar install worked on first try. This will also give mw thw chance to try the voting receiver stuff for cheap cause I have some thin client and usb dongle that I will connect to some gm300 that have the output blown but receive perfectly. --- Message initial --- De : "Ken" <ke2n(a)cs.com> Envoyé : 26 septembre 2013 04:54 A : petem001(a)hotmail.com Cc: app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org Objet : 64 bit Basically all computers you buy today are 64 bit architecture.

Help please with Beagle/LOX combination.
by R.K. 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Greetings, Wonder if there is someone out there who would be kind enough to “ take me by the hand “, figuratively speaking, and guide me one step at a time, through the process of getting my Beagle/LOX combo up and running. I have had this thing for months now and I have had some help from one fellow, but for whatever reason I just can’t get the numbers to fall in to place, so now I want to go back to the start and have another go. Where I am currently at is, I am able to log on to another Node from my Beagle, but I believe my transmitted audio is very rough and difficult to understand, but then the next issue is, I am unable to hear the person I am connected to. I have been following the rantings on this forum for a while now and been applying bit and pieces that I believe relevant to my situation, but I still come up short of a perfectly working combination. I have no need for much of what many of you guys out there are doing with your gear, I am retired, wife and I do a bit of driving around the country, and all I want to do with my gear is that when we set up camp for the evening somewhere is drag the Beagle/LOX out from the back of the car, set it up and just talk. Nothing fancy. Anyway, if any of you out there are willing to take me under your wing and guide me through the process of getting this thing working then it would be very much appreciated, please contact me off list at vk3ant(a)arrl.net Thanks everyone.

Allmon+Lighttpd
by Ian 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

Hello, I have Allmon running with Lighttpd on my PI and I have noticed while connected to a remote node via [ ssh ] to monitor, I see continual [ remote manager connect; remote manager disconnect ] prompts after a connect to the remote node from Allmon when logged in as admin. There is no indication that the connection is connecting/disconnecting so I'm guessing that I just haven't quite set things up properly. Any comments/suggestions most welcome. 73, Ian..

some more progress
by Robert N. Newberry 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

So I was able to get manual download and now my login screen shows N1XBM/R. I also now show up on allstar link. I tried connecting to my node (radio not connected yet) with the web transceiver I hit connect and nothing. I tried hitting the number keys and nothing. I also tried an automatic download of my server config and that did not appear to work. It said my server should reboot when done and I did not get a reboot. So I guess I am making some progress here. I need to figure out the web transceiver and why I can not download my server config from the website. -- Apparare Scientior Paratus Communicare -N1XBM

Getting there!
by Robert Newberry 25 Sep '13

25 Sep '13

OK so I got a node #, PC, repeater, URI, and I'm burning a ISO as we speak. >From my rudimentary understanding it looks like a lot of the node configuration is done online and the first time I update my PC I will need to do a manual update. So if I want to also use app_rpt as a controller I'm confused as to where I set the important stuff, such as: ID Time out timer Code to shut the transmitter off in the event something goes wrong. PL tones encode/decode I assume I must have to bring up a script and manually edit it? Any good write ups in the internet about this? I'm getting pretty excited about this. If I can get this one repeater on the air. I have many more repeater that I want to link together for a multicast system. I'm sure I'll have even more questions then.
