Re: [App_rpt-users] Squelch Tail Elimination
by Bryan Fields 29 Mar '15

The RTCM has a manual squelch threshold pot. It will function as a bilevel squelch with a strong signal. Are you feeding the discriminator audio to the RTCM and have it set up as such? If you cannot use discriminator audio you may need an audio delay board in place as well. This is not a standard configuration if you're feeding non discriminator audio to the RTCM.

signal level good enough for a URI-X?
by pete M 29 Mar '15

29 Mar '15

Anyone can confirm if a signal level of 70~90mVrms with an Output impedance: 1kΩ or less Coupling: AC coupling Frequency response: ±2.5dB at 10~3000Hz is enough to drive a URI or should I use the included pre amp in the URI-X? trying to use the RD line from a tkr-750 to do USBRadio control of a node. thanks And while I am at it, pin 10 and 11 of the tkr both are signal input, 10 is TD (tx data) and 11 is TA (tx audio) If I feed one side of the output to the pin 10 (TD) for tone signal and the other side to (TA) and apply repeated audio would that make sens? Cause I did try that and It did not seem to work.. thanks again for your input Pierre VE2PF

I have about 50 installations of usbradio where I don't experience these issues you claim. Will you please quantify your statement as to whether or not the issues you claim are for the BBB release, or any ACID release - and also if it pertains to only the BBB or any computer platform. I have baseline performance specifications using usbradio and PC hardware. While the performance does change slightly due to the exact radio adapter device, the overall response and distortion specifications are very consistent when using G.722 -u-law. My performance specifications show that any distortions or response issues contributed directly by app_rpt, any channel driver, or the radio interface are well below detection by the human ear. In fact, I can guarantee you that more distortion is generally experienced when running simpleusb audio through any radio. In other words, there is more distortion and response issues because of the radio then from this application and its supporting hardware in usbradio. I'll apologize that I had to hijack this thread from the arm-allstar email group and re-post it here - because I'm no longer allowed to participate in your group directly.

Changing audio level of link
by Andy Wittman 28 Mar '15

28 Mar '15

Hello All, I am curious to know if there is a setting I can adjust to increase the volume of audio coming in from a link. My rx and tx levels are good, when turning on parrot mode everything sounds great, but when I link in to a repeater, the incoming audio is very low. On the other side of the conversation I receive good audio reports from my side. I am using a simplex node running on the BBB with a Baofeng 888. I switched it and my HT to WFM but the linked audio is still very low. Thanks in advance, Andy KK4ZKP

Cannot Connect to Node
by Jamey Wright 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

I am having issues with a new node I recently set up. I had post a couple of weeks ago about having issues with WebTransceiver connecting to it. At the time it was improperly registering (showing up using the wrong IP address). That problem has been corrected but I still cannot access it using WebTransceiver. Using the AllStar portal, I go to Network-->All Online Nodes and my node number does not appear in the list. When I go to Network-->System-Wide Node List, my node appears and is highlighted green. When I go to Network-->Node Status-->27981 I get a black page with a white rectangular box with: "AllStar Link [surrounding node 27981] status as of 03/27/15 02:31:50 GMT" I checked the iax.conf file and the node number and password are correct. No clue where to check next. Thanks Jamey WR4JW

AllStar Asterisk on Raspberry Pi 1 and 2

Leon, Now that's a blast from the distant past. :) It's built from the SVN. Asterisk is at 1.4.23 That's the last version Jim is supporting app_rpt on. From what I remember, Jim says that later version of Asterisk break things app_rpt rely on. 73, Steve N4IRS > good deal steve > been out of touch what * version are you guys using and any plans to > move to more current versions? > 73 leon wa4zlw > On 3/26/2015 11:06 AM, Steve Zingman wrote: > I've updated the scripts and tar files for installing AllStar Asterisk > on the Raspberry Pi platforms. > > The Pi 1 is at <https://github.com/N4IRS/AllStar/blob/master/rpi1.tar> > The Pi 2 is at <https://github.com/N4IRS/AllStar/blob/master/rpi2.tar> > > All of the scripts, patches and platform specific files are at: > <https://github.com/N4IRS/AllStar> > > 73, Steve N4IRS > 73, Steve N4IRS -- "Anything is possible if you don't know what you are talking about." 1st Law of Logic

Server "reboot" command via radio and DTMF?
by kk6ecm 26 Mar '15

Two questions: 1) Is there a way to perform a command line "reboot" from a radio using DTMF? It seems the COP are for controlling within Asterisk. I am aware of COP,1 to warm boot asterisk. 2) Is there a reason this is not a good idea? Thanks, Bob kk6ecm
