Is it possible to vote with SSB? I picture a simplex HF setup with voters / simulcast all around the world linked with the web. Any similar ideas? KDØWHB

Weird URI problem
by KH6KL 15 Nov '15

15 Nov '15

11.14.2015 I'm not sure which board to post this on... My repeater is a Motorola R1225, 25Watts, w/ PL. The computer is a BeagleBoneBlackC. I'm only using the COS, PTT, Rx Audio, Mic and ground. This system has been working on the AllStar Network since May 2015. About 2 months ago a weird problem started: The Xm hangs on, but PTT voltage is at 5v. The URI red led is off. If I just wait the timeout timer kills the Xm but the the PTT doesn't work until I reset the 1225. The Rptr Rx led is off the whole time, so there's no incoming signal. This only happens when the URI is connected to the accessory plug. I put my spare R1225 on-line and the same thing happens. Note: I have everything working off of an Astron SS30 power supply. I looked for ground loops, but didn't find any. I borrowed an URI and the system worked perfectly. I returned the URI and put the repeater on-line/stand-alone for two weeks with no problems. I sent the URI back to DMK engineering and it passed their test, so it was returned to me. I put it on line and the same problem started again. I swapped the the two URIs and my machine worked perfectly but the other machine started to kerchunking by itself. I returned the borrowed URI, and put my machine on-line/stand-alone. I would like to know if anyone has had this problem and what was your solution. I called DMK engineering to see if they would warranty the URI, no decision yet, but I ordered a new URI to get this node working. Aloha, Pat KH6KL

UFW Firewall Blocking unwanted traffic
by Loren Tedford 15 Nov '15

15 Nov '15

I am not aware of how to block a node number if their is a problem however here is what i came up with for the Debian or Dial Distribution or if your running Ubuntu Server etc.. I install ufw here is some command line tips sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install ufw sudo ufw allow {Port Number} I dont suggest using default ports with ssh because they get hammed really hard and on my data center I do use default port however i also run Fail2ban on the server I wont cover fail2ban because its pretty easy and self explanatory for the most part.. Example using all default ports for allstar sudo ufw allow 222/tcp <-- Ssh port sudo ufw allow 4569/udp <-- Iax port for allstar sudo ufw allow 5060/udp <--- For sip if you have to use it I always stay clear of this particular port it gets hammered alot harder easier to break sip traffic.. sudo ufw allow 5198/udp <--- Echolink port sudo ufw allow 5199/udp <-- Another echolink port.. sudo ufw allow 5200/tcp <-- And yet another echolink port.. If you use allmon and would like to access it sudo ufw allow 80/tcp sudo ufw default allow outgoing sudo ufw default deny incoming sudo systemctl start ufw sudo systemctl enable ufw here is the documentation that helped me out from linode.. https://www.linode.com/docs/security/firewalls/configure-firewall-with-ufw Mark KC9ZHR helped me create a script that has pretty much cured most of my hacker issues here is that script.. Look it over and put a # over ports you wish to keep out of the ban list.. This script has solved about 90% of my hacker issues on sip ports and iax ports.. So far no one has been successful but i am always looking to keep the system secure the best i can.. http://kc9zhv.com/iso/ufwblocklist Here is how i run it on my allstar servers.. wget http://kc9zhv.com/iso/ufwblocklist sudo ./ufwblocklist Hope this helps anyone out their dealing with unwanted traffic.. Oh almost for got if their is an ip that you wish to allow you can add via typing sudo ufw allow from 10.10.10.1 or you can sudo ufw allow from 10.10.10.1/24 Loren Tedford (KC9ZHV) Email: lorentedford(a)gmail.com Main Line:1-631-686-8878 Option 1 for Loren.

Audio popping
by Robert Newberry 14 Nov '15

14 Nov '15

I have a 6m mastr ii at my office which is a low RF site. I had this poping sound like audio cables being connected into a live audio source. I guessed/summarized that RF was getting into things. I installed ferrites at the input and output of the DMK URI and I also bonded the PC cabinet to the ground of the repeater chassis. The problem was fixed. I have a two repeater site with one desktop pc controlling a 6m mastr ii and a 2m msr2000 and I was hearing the same thing. This is at a high RF site. I took the same approach and the problem is reduced, but not eliminated. Does anyone have any suggestions as to getting a better reduction. I'm figuring if I'm on the right path if what I've currently done has made an improvement. I was wondering if I put the URI into a sealed metal box if that would do anything.

Rambling thoughts...

Any reason Allstar could not be run over an installation of a Broadband-Hamnet network? Just thinking of an infrastructure independent network with the functionality of Allstar. Brian KE6IYC Sent from my iPhone

Remote Base Timeout
by Jamey Wright 11 Nov '15

11 Nov '15

I have a 2M remote base (TM-271) running on a node here. How can I change the activity timeout? There have been several instances where I have been actively using the node and I get an activity timeout message. First it will announce timeout in 180 seconds. If I do anything like change power level, frequency, etc, it then announces activity timeout in 3597 seconds, then about 15 seconds later announces activity timeout in 3604 seconds and continues to announce activity timeout every 30 seconds or so. Disconnecting and reconnecting is the only way to stop the countdown. Thanks Jamey WR4JW

DIAL distro now available for RPi2
by Jim Duuuude 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

The DIAL distro for Allstar is now available for the Raspberry Pi 2 at: http://dl.allstarlink.org/dial/rpi2_dial.img It has basically the same contents as the x86 DIAL distro, but runs on an RPi2. It is approx 2GB in size, and will function on any SD card 2GB or larger (for larger cards, an option is provided for expanding the root partition to the full size of the card). Jim, WB6NIL
