My site has no internet yet Need of pc no. Beagle bone black x3 $59 each repeater 1 ,repeater 2, and one hub. Use a PC at a site no way ! Reduce power consumption not increase it! Two URI interfaces Need ups no way. Battery power site with DC to DC converter to power the beagle bone blacks.

What about building a hub at the site connect to the hub and then to the local nodes ? If you wanted to connect to a specific node or join the nodes full time to the hub. Mike AE4ML Sent from an iPhone 5 iOS 8 Mike.Lussier(a)gmail.com AE4ML(a)arrl.net AE4ML(a)amsat.org

Multiple Repeaters Per Site
by R. Wayne 21 Mar '15

21 Mar '15

As we continue to grow we are committed to using Allstar. But we are already at a loss as to how to put multiple repeaters on the air from the same site. Sure, we can use multiple URI’s I think and a single PC. But we prefer RTCM’s and they cost $$$. The real question is the use of external controllers like an Arcom RC-210. They have 3 ports plus a 4th basic port. We have 2m, 440 and 900, plus a WX receiver. URI’s are cheaper but if we do the PC approach can we declare separate config files/directories, or would we need to install something like OpenVZ and mount each USB device in separate containers? PC’s at remote sites concern me especially without redundant power supplies. A RC-210 would allow the use of only one RTCM and the ports would be linked to through the RC-210. One node number for three repeaters, although that isn’t my preference. How much audio delay could be expected using an external controller? Thank you in advance. Wayne

AllStar Asterisk on a Raspberry Pi 2
by Steve Zingman 20 Mar '15

20 Mar '15

Just a note to let people know that we have AllStar Asterisk running on the new Raspberry Pi 2. Right now it's in alpha test. I can report that it works great. No USB or network issues. Audio is clean and sounding good. CPU utilization is very low. Right now, we are using chan_simpleusb, but we will be testing chan_usbradio soon. We will continue to support the Pi 1, Odroid and the BBB Debian platforms for the foreseeable future. Any enhancements that can be back ported to the older platforms will be. If all goes well, we will proceed to Beta test on Sunday March 1st. Stay tuned. 73, N4IRS and N4IRR -- "Anything is possible or impossible if you don't know what you are talking about." 1st Law of Logic

I got my system on the Raspberry Pi2 and have been trying to get the URIx attached to software but have been not able to get that done. I am sorta new at attaching hardware to linux. I used this base image < https://images.collabora.co.uk/rpi2/jessie-rpi2-20150202.img.gz> for install and got the https://www.dropbox.com/s/zcrcj7oqddh06yc/rpi2.tar I just don't know how to on hardware. can someone point me in the right direction? Tnx, Marty KD4HLV IRLP Node 4745

more networkd stuff
by Doug Crompton 20 Mar '15

Chris, Here is an important caveat.... to override a system-supplied file in /usr/lib/systemd/network in a permanent manner (i.e even after upgrade), place a file with same name in /etc/systemd/network and symlink it to /dev/null This is somethign you have to be careful about in Archlinux.... the etc/systemd/... files take precedence but in this case these files would be in the mix since they do not exist in /etc/systemd/network.

Unable to connect completely via Zioper
by Rob 19 Mar '15

19 Mar '15

I am unable to get Zioper to connect. I have installed, uninstalled, installed, etc. Sometimes it makes it all the way to asking for my password but sometimes not. I have tried connecting with my Wi-Fi enabled yielding a connection score of 4.67/5.0. Once I got as far as it asking if I wanted to use VOX and I answered yes. It went no further. I have the appropriate login and assume that if I didn’t it would let me know sooner in the process. I won’t post it here Any suggestions?

same error again
by Robert Newberry 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

So I posted yesterday about this and I've been trying to track it nightly using the CLI. I got the exact same error this morning at exactly the same time. What I don't know is this a problem with my node or could my cable modem that I use as a router doing some sort of restart every night. Thank you if any of you can help. If you require more information I will do my best to provide it. Thank you, Bob/N1XBM [Mar 18 01:05:07] ERROR[12980]: chan_usbradio.c:2635 usbradio_read: HID process has died or something!!

Cheapest node, works great!
by Skyler F 18 Mar '15

18 Mar '15

Who would think the baofeng would work so well, but I set up a cheap node with a homebrew sound fob, and I got better audio reports than my Motorola SM120! I set up 2 baofengs so I could have a full duplex repeater for close range (I don't have a duplexer, so the range is limited). I used a VOX circuit for activation! The vox circuit will even activate on only a carrier , and was perfect for this. I decode tones in the radio then use the COS pin on the homebrew FOB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QopvHGM-9_k (vox circuit) And thats it! •USB sound fob $13.00 FREE shipping •Baofeng - $40-50 (2x if you want full duplex) •Computer- My grandpas old Pentium 4 Dell dimension 8400 FREE •Parts for VOX and sound mod - Simple transistors found in my parts bin, or could be salvaged off of broken electronics- FREE Sound fob: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829128002&cm_re=icusb… Discriminator Audio is a MYTH and the baofengs make perfect portable nodes! Great way to get on the AllStar air without paying a lot especially for young hams like me :-) Skyler KDØWHB Skyler Fennell amsatnet.info KDØWHB electricity440(a)gmail.com
