HamShield + AllStar
by Skyler Fennell 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

Has anybody looked into interfacing the upcoming hamshield for arduino with AllStar link? I saw this project on a kick starter, and it can be found by googling. The hamshield will offer a 440/220/144mhz transceiver designed for arduino. I wonder how hard it would be to interface with the raspberry pi. I think this would make a pretty killer remote base/frequency agile node. Kd0whb

RPI 2 DIAL
by Robert Newberry 20 Nov '15

20 Nov '15

I'm running the first time on a RPI2 using DIAL it's asking for my existing domain and fqdn. I have the node I'm replacing in front of me and I'm not sure where to find this information. Thank you N1XBM Apparare Scientor Paratus Communicare Allstar Node # 27086, 41540, 41812, 42086

CSV File of Active Nodes
by Bryan D. Boyle 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Was digging around (just to see who's on...), and was thinking...would it be possible for the database god(s) who also maintain the web page to provide a selection, besides the bubble diagram, of downloading a csv file of the active nodes? That way, may be able to do some fancy sorting in a spreadsheet by bands, states, countries, etc. Just a thought... BB WB0YLE Morrisville PA

How concerned should I be?
by Robert Newberry 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

So I've been on my never ending quest of learning linux. So I was reading about simpleusb and usbradio...please no debates versus quality! I came across a reference to the top command and if asterisk takes up more than 20% or more I should consider simpleusb. Well one of my sites running two nodes which is having audio issues! Is swinging from 20-40% never dipping below 20% Thanks N1XBM Apparare Scientor Paratus Communicare Allstar Node # 27086, 41540, 41812, 42086

Raspberry pi dial uri eeprom broken?
by Scott Weis 18 Nov '15

18 Nov '15

I just set up a new node using a raspberry pi and the dial distribution. I have a uri with an eeprom in it. It was tuned and config saved on the EEPROM. On startup I get the message USB Adapter has no EEPROM installed or Checksum BAD on channel usbXXXXX. I then retuned the URI and did a radio tune save and asterisk said it was saving to the eeprom. Then reloaded asterisk and go the same message as above. Did the whole procedure again using another URI and EEPROM. SAME PROBLEM. Tried both URIs on my x86 acid box and it worked fine. So is this a dial on raspberry pi problem or does this happen on x86 too? Thanks & 73, Scott KB2EAR

Interface existing
by Robert Newberry 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

I'm wondering what other people do if you have a repeater with an existing controller. I have a site that the repeater owner would like to be able to continue to use the existing controller, but be on allstar. My thoughts were basically set it up like a simplex radio. Get the rx audio from the repeater and tie into mic audio at the repeater. Has anyone done this? N1XBM Apparare Scientor Paratus Communicare Allstar Node # 27086, 41540, 41812, 42086

Why no callsign validation
by Skyler F 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

On AllStar link, you don't have to send in a PDF anymore of your license. If I remember correctly, I had to send a picture of my license at one point. Personally I don't care, I find it a lot easier to not have to send in this, but is that why EchoLink now does not want people to have it on their node anymore? I just think it might be easy for unlicensed trolls to get on the air under someone else's call. I have personally validated 3 call-signs for various clubs and a friend and it was pretty easy to register because I didn't even need to ask the club for their license electronic copy / photo. Again, I don't have a problem with this, and I believe if you can buy a 30 dollar chinese radio, and get on the air without a call-sign, it's not much different doing the same on the internet with VoIP, but I want to know what other people think about the subject. Is this one of the reasons why Dave cameron banned AllStar from IRLP? Skyler KD0WHB

list of additional software for allstar /app_rpt
by Pete M 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

I was syncing my node shark installation this morning and was blasted by a question... Is there a list of add-on software /script/ dashboard that can be used with allstar/app_rpt somewhere? many here knows a lot about all those nice script and add-ons.. But for someone that is not connected to this list. It can be hard to find info on those unless you them by name and then can google it. It would be nice to have a list somewhere on the allstar web page about what is available and maybe a link to where they are located. Or am I again late on this and was not cleaver enough to find it? And one last thing.. thanks to all that do a marvelous job on this project.. (Yeah I know sound like some butt liking.. but still I mean it.. The praise not the butt linking.. )
