Delay
by John Locke 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi all, I'm trying to develop a ambulance radio dispatch application. The basic features of app_rpt and iaxrpt are working OK. The radios are conned with URI interfaces. The problem is that there is a delay of about 1-2 seconds between the call of the operator and the audio received in the radios. Also, there are 2 operators (in the same room) connected with iaxrpt to the same channel and the other operator can hear the delay too. Is like an annoying echo. The network is ok and we are using a "standard" PC for the task. Do you think that a faster PC would solve the problem? Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance John

Noise heard
by Robert Newberry 15 May '15

15 May '15

So ever I put my mastr ii on the air with acid using a dmk uri using usb radio. Ok hopefully I've given enough specifics. Certain users I hear on the repeater will sound like someone is quickly turning the audio on/off real fast or another example like I have a loose intermittent connection and someone is jiggling the wires which I know isn't happening. It isn't very noticeable but where the repeater normally sounds very good the one little hiccups is noticeable. A user yesterday was telling a story and was quite excited so he was hot audio wise. I know people have spoken of limitations with the DSP and audio. Is this some sort of thing with the DSP going nuts and doing something strange with the squelch. I've tried my best to explain it over email. I might be able to record it. I can also give more details if needed. It's really not a big deal, just would be nice to know what it is.

Id Script
by Loren Tedford 15 May '15

15 May '15

Hi I am trying to figure out the custom ID scripts I tried following the directions here from this site however was unable to figure out where i messed up. http://www.allstarnode.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=94 Pretty simple setup really just have 2 files however im using .wav files that i converted using the asterisks convert site located here.. http://my.digium.com/en/products/ivr/audio-converter/ I was able to figure out how to make one id play but cant get the script to rotate nor can i figure out how to reset the script to 0 if there was no repeater traffic after the last id my thought was to have an announcement on first key example Welcome to the KC9ZHV repeater located in Olney, IL then from every Id after that have a wav file that just says KC9ZHV Repeater. After the repeater has been quite for 10 minutes or so have it restart with the first wav file.. Not sure what i missed my thought is if i modified this slightly to .wav file and put my node number in like it says my theroy is it should have played idk though any thoughts would be apriciated thanks Loren Tedford (KC9ZHV) Email: lorentedford(a)gmail.com

High pitch audio
by pete M 14 May '15

14 May '15

Got 2 repeater linked together at the same site One msf5000 UHF one tkr750 VHF If I listen to the UHF repeater the audio is nice and have low and high sound (in the limit of 3hz of course)No mather if the receiving repeater is the VHF or UHF. I even asked a friend to switch from VHF to UHF on his radio and I could not detect wich was the source beside from the courtasy tone and the end if his TX. But on the VHF side the audio is High pitch no bass.. here is my config in usbsound.conf for the TKR750 [usb28739] ; VHF hdwtype=0 rxboost=1txboost=1rxctcssrelax=1txctcssdefault=103.5rxctcssfreqs=103.5txctcssfreqs=103.5;rxctcssoverride=0carrierfrom=usbinvertctcssfrom=dsprxdemod=flattxprelim=notxlimonly=notxtoctype=notonetxmixa=voicetxmixb=toneinvertptt=0duplex=1rxondelay=1rxnoisefiltype=0eeprom=0 Is there a something obvious that I miss?

CTCSS enable/disable
by LaRoy McCann 14 May '15

14 May '15

First, I am using RPI2 for the controller but I think this is more a generic question than a specific RPI2 question. I can set "ctcssfrom=usb" in simpleusb.conf and then I have to use tone to make the controller receive commands or key the repeater. After changing simpleusb.conf I issued the command 'asterisk -rx "rpt reload"'. This would not make ctcss be required to key the repeater. I had to 'astres.sh' before it would require tone to key the repeater. Not sure if the 'asterisk -rx "rpt reload"' should have worked or there is a bug somewhere? What I am actually trying to be able to do is to enable/disable Rx CTCSS from dtmf commands. I have configured a function for the cop=56(Rx CTCSS enable) and cop=57(Rx CTCSS disable) commands. When I enter the dtmf for the cop=56 function the controller talks back "rx pl ena", so I know the function is working. But I can still access the repeater without a CTCSS tone. Can this be done? I have searched all morning and can not find reference to it. LaRoy McCann, K5TW --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com

I saw that the Dayton Hamvention is using Echolink and IRLP to link the repeaters coming into the Dayton Hamvention. Any Allstar activity at the Hamvention this year? 73, Eric 4Z1UG / WA6IGR Allstar Node: 28422 Check out my Podcast at: www.qsotoday.com<http://www.qsotoday.com> 4Z1UG(a)guth.us<mailto:4Z1UG@guth.us> Israel Direct: 077-950-9451 USA Direct: +1-720-377-3840 Skype: ericrguth

Talking to the node via Zoiper
by kk6ecm 14 May '15

14 May '15

I have Zoiper up an running on my iPad, and can send DTMF codes, to which the node responds, and I can hear the TM. However, when I talk into the mic on the iPad, the node does not receive it. I have the codecs in Zoiper matched to the allow=ulaw, etc, in the stanza in iax.conf. What am I missing that is required to send audio? I read somewhere to use the "Mute" on Zoiper so all audio is not sent to the node (reverse PTT of sorts?). Thanks, Bob kk6ecm

Connecting to two nodes in monitor
by Skyler Fennell 13 May '15

13 May '15

Last night I was connected to two nodes in monitor, the win system and the wan system because I wanted to listen only to the traffic. Will the two networks hear each other because the wan system disconnected me.
