Thanks. I was thinking about creating multipule rpt.conf files, and having them rotate or have a script which edited the rpt.conf file. Your idea with the audio files is so much better.

Urix & maxtrac are not passing certain DTMF tones back to the node
by Mike Parie "AA1PR" 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

hello, I purchased a maxtrac locally off a friend n1ndn, he had it running on his allstar node via a uri, so I know its good or at least was then so I purchased my own uri from DMK & cable off ebay to get it installed & opeating however the Urix & maxtrac are not passing certain DTMF tones back to the node I can use dtmf tones like *70, *80 & *81 however *3, *1, *2 etc to connect etc & *76 to disconnect dont work it seems the only setting I really need(ed) to change was in simpleusb.conf was "carrierfrom=usb" to "carrierfrom=usbinvert" which I did I rebooted the system & soon discovered my issue any help is greatly appreciated

Change courtesy beep based on events

Is there a way to play a different courtesy tone based on a different state of the machine, for example if the repeater is running on battery or AC line or in my case if a file exists or not. KDØWHB

Re: [App_rpt-users] Quick sound fob question

Oh. Well thanks for the replies. I don't see how the URI is 25 times more expensive than the sound fob.

Quick sound fob question
by Skyler Fennell 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

I previously got the CM108 sound fob from startech and had to solder to the tiny pin. With this one http://ebay.com/itm/291156304476?_mwBanner=1&varId=590306532025 It looks like it already has both LED's installed. I am assuming the red led is the same as the transmit LED. If this is so, does that mean I don't have to solder to the tiny pin on the CM108 and I can just drive a transistor with the same wire as the LED for PTT? Skyler KD0WHB

K8055 from velleeman
by pete M 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

anyone used a Velleman K8055 on an allstar syte?? Got this here for the last 5 years or so, got it to play a bit with usb stuff.. Now that the playing is done I would like to know if it could be of some uses. here is the link to what I am talking about: https://www.velleman.eu/products/view/?id=351346 this could be usefull in case we need to reset something remotely while we are connected in ssh to the allstar machine.. or we could automate the rebooting of a router if we loose some connectivity? I for one would put one out put on my msf5000 reset switch.. that way I would not have to go to the repeater site every 5 or 6 months to reste it cause the rx vco is unlocked for no damn reason..

DIAL Distribution Question
by Steve Mahler 11 Oct '15

11 Oct '15

I have a new AllStar node in development. I grabbed the DIAL ISO and attempted to overwrite my fairly virgin ACID distribution. After complaints about buffering the install hardware search functions started. The network started (IPV6 and IPV4). The disk partitioner started but them complained that there was "No Root File System". This is a Dell 960 with dual 250 GB drives. But, they are configured in the disk controller as a RAID 1 appearance (I did my ACID install as RAID 1). Does the DIAL distribution allow for RAID Controllers? ...STeve - KF5VH

Simleusb.conf question
by wg 10 Oct '15

10 Oct '15

Hi, This maybe a repost or question posed before and I think I saw something somewhere but can't find it. I have two nodes experiencing this issue since I changed to simpleusb with the dmk URI. Both nodes have the ctcss tones ENC/DEC set on them and at the radio works fine. Thru the node I can key them up without sending the tone, the radio doesn't hear anything of course but the node repeats without the tone. I've gone thru all documentation I can find and can't seem to solve the problem. Another issue is on the repeater when you unkey you can hear the last second of your transmission, I've seen this somewhere before but can't find it again. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks to all of you who keep this going, Aloha Wayne KH6XP wooddragonsmall --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

DIAL install hangs
by Steve Zingman 09 Oct '15

Darren, Thank you VERY much for the report & fix Most fixes don't require it but, I'm tweaking the ISO right now anyway. I will include the ipv6 disable in the next rev (soon) > First I would like to say I do like the way this installs much more quickly and was an easy boot from a UBS Flash. > I have an Intel DN2800MTE motherboard. It requires me to add parms on boot: > video=LVDS-1:d video=eDP-1:d > This allow for my external VGA monitor to display. > So far... So good... Next the basic packages get installed and the system shuts down. > Upon startup, some packages are add/removed and then the system hangs. What I found was that my network router supports IP v6. I don't have it specifically > configured. The end result is that the DNS name servers are not set so that the steps in rc.local can find the hosts. In order to work around the issue I added the following: > video=LVDS-1:d video=eDP-1:d ipv6.disable=1 > This causes IP v6 not to be started. IP v4 took over (DHCP) and obtained the correct settings and updated /etc/resolve.conf correctly. > I hope this helps others and adds value for future documentation. > Thanks & 73's > Darren > KJ6KFB -- "Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about." 1st Law of Logic
