Registration issues

Tonight I had a user tell me that one of my nodes wouldn't connect anywhere. Verified, rebooted the server, still nothing. Tried running the rc.updatenodelist script manually and it just sits there. However, after running the following command I do get an update and can now connect to other nodes. /usr/bin/wget -O /var/lib/asterisk/rpt_extnodeshttp://nodes1.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/nodes.pl When I checked two other nodes they had the same problem and same work-around. I ran that same command for nodes2 and it works. When I run it for nodes3 it times out. Could a problem with nodes3.allstarlink.org be causing the rc.updatenodelist script to choke? And could that have been causing my nodes to not be able to connect to others?

I've found the 'permit=w1aw,w5yi,etc' line in the echolink.conf only allows for 29 allowed calls. Any more than 30 entries in the list prevents incoming requests on or not on the list access to the node. Short of checking for typo's, using a backslash\ to continue to the next line, or adding another 'permit= line' hasn't proved any results. ???

Good thought, although I am using rxondelay. I discovered the burst is just inherent of a simplex node. Just a note, I configured the BBB for usbradio and enabled the rxsquelchdelay with success, however the audio produced a pulsing attribute. A tradeoff, so I'm back to simpleusb. Next I plan to try an audio delay board. Over kill but it's all in the spirit of ham radio... Thanks to those responsible for the BBB JK -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 9/29/14, k5tra <k5tra(a)austin.rr.com> wrote: Subject: RE: [App_rpt-users] Multiple nodes To: "'Johnny Keeker'" <cypresstower(a)yahoo.com> Date: Monday, September 29, 2014, 5:29 PM Hi Johnny, I've been using TK-941 radios in full duplex repeater mode. I am using a COS interface/buffer circuit in the RX radio and a DMK URI. Is your GM300 running as a simplex link radio? If so, 'wonder if rxondelay parameter would help?

On the radio side it's clean but on the internet side, I still have a squelch burst. Also used an alinco dr135, it's worse. In both instances I'm using simpleusb and cor. I've also tried usbradio, it eliminates the burst but there are other artifacts it produces, like a ripple in the audio peaks.

I have a private node with 6 voted receivers usng RTCMs. I'd like to add a 7th RTCM to this node that is always mixed in rather than voted. I'm able to make this rtcm work as a 7th voted rceive with no problem. Everything Ive read seems to indicate that if I change Gps pps polarity to "none" this will achieve my desired results, however I am unable to get audio out of my transmit rtcm from thiis 7th site. It does change color to cyan in Allmon indicating it is non voted input but I do not get any indication or audio when that units COR goes active. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks, Tom

Chuck, Actually, BBB for $55, uSD 16GB for $8 and USB FOB (modified) for $12 is well under $100 for a very good node. Tom / K5TRA

I use K0kn email scripts with Gmail. Things will chug along fine for a few days and then google locks me out and I have to log in via a Web browser and type in the goofy letters to get things happy. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to fix it? Or better yet what I'm doing wrong.

Multiple nodes

So as it stands I have a one node system. I have another URI on the way and will have BBB soon. The eventual plan is to have a few repeaters and some simplex nodes at people's houses for RF hot spot access. What is the best way to tie these together? I understand you can set permanent links that will reestablish connection if lost. Is there other ways of accomplishing this? I only ask because I have my one node setup with email, autopatch and all other kinds of bells and whistles. I'd like to be able to do all of this from other RF locations and I wonder if I need to just set each node up accordingly or can one node be the workhorse and the other nodes just be dumb connections. Did I make any sense with that question?
