Jim Dixon's passing, and Allstar Link transition
by Steve Rodgers 26 Dec '16

26 Dec '16

Hello everyone, It is with deep regret that my long time friend Jim Dixon passed away on 12/16. I've known Jim since we were teenagers, and our interest in electronics engineering was self-reinforcing for both of us. Jim was a bright and caring individual who really loved socializing with others. With regard to Allstar Link, Jim did give me access to the servers, and I have been working to transition control to Steve Zingman N4IRS. He will take over management of Allstar Link. We are doing a lot of work behind the scenes to make sure that Allstar Link continues to be as Jim envisioned it. In the near term, Steve and his team will create a non-profit entity for Allstar Link. Management of Allstar Link is such that it requires a team of individuals all working together to ensure its long term viability. We currently have a transition team in place running the day-to-day operations, node numbers, etc. Final note: At this time donations to Jim's Paypal account should not be sent to his account since we don't have control over it. We will set up something soon to handle incoming donations,and will let everyone know when it is in place. Steve WA6ZFT

Saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. I was fortunate enough to have lived near him several years ago and enjoyed his wit and humor. He was very generous and got me started in Allstarlink.org <http://allstarlink.org/> with a remote base and repeater. He will be missed. Wayne W6IZK nodes 28146, 29629, 2009, 29454, 2099

EchoLink and APRS issues

#yiv7871433602 blockquote, #yiv7871433602 div.yiv7871433602yahoo_quoted {margin-left:0 !important;border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important;padding-left:1ex !important;background-color:white;}Greetings everyone and Happy Christmas! I am new to the AllStarLink community and have recently built a repeater. I am trying to get EchoLink and APRS to connect, but have thus far been unsuccessful. I am able to log into EchoLink via the Windows App, but not on the AllStarLink repeater. Because I can get logged in with the Windows App on the same network, I don't think it is credentials nor router settings. I have been able to connect to other AllStarLink nodes, but thus far haven't found anyone active to test my audio. Perhaps you can advise me on what I am doing wrong. Here are printouts from my echolink.conf, gps.conf, and modules.conf files (passwords removed). Let me know if you need any other information. Any advise is very much appreciated. I am sure before the end of this, I will have many more questions.

hourly message
by Ken 24 Dec '16

24 Dec '16

Hi Ramesh A cron job will work, of course - using the: /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt fun nnnnn *xxxx" Format, where nnnnn is the node number and xxxx is a function that you have designated for the localplay command. You can also use the built-in scheduler where you call a macro. The macro must be defined in the [macros] stanza and typically use a function that is defined in the [functions] stanza. The only problem I have found with the macro approach is that, if you intend to issue several playback commands in one macro, they will not necessarily execute in the order that you list them. Ken

Using scheduler to play custom (local) voice announcement
by Ramesh Dhami 24 Dec '16

24 Dec '16

Hi Guys: I'd like to play a custom ulaw announcement over my repeater (at say an hourly interval). This custom announcement is different from my repeater ID. I see that I can call a macro from the scheduler; I'm not sure whether I can invoke Asterisk's System command directly from a macro, or whether I have to make a call to a local extension that invokes the System command (which then plays my announcement). Hopefully there's an easier way! Appreciate some guidance. Thanks! Ramesh, VA3UV

chan_dstar : missing source code of dextra_cli
by Steve 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

As far as I know that source code was never released unfortunately. I'd love it if someone where to prove me wrong offering the code. 73 kb9mwr -------- Quote -------- Hi, I'm trying to connect app_rpt with my dstar reflector. I'm using "chan_dstar" channel driver, and I'm following the readme included with chan_dstar.c I need a dextra client called "dextra_cli", which seems to be a part of RtpDir from KI4LKF. I found an executable versions of "dextra_cli" for Windows and Linux, but I don't know which is the CPU target. This executable does not run on my machine (Debian 8 on x86 VM), and I didn't find the source code to recompile it. Does someone know where to find the source code for "dextra_cli" ? Thank you in advance. 73 de TK1BI

Private nodes connecting through public hub
by Corey Lardinois (KB9BNA) 22 Dec '16

22 Dec '16

Hi all, Sorry if this has been discussed before and I haven't seen it, but I'm working on networking a few repeaters with AllStar. The intention is to have these repeaters permanently linked. I am considering using my public node number as a hub and linking each repeater into the hub using private node numbers so that the entire network appears as a single node number for both incoming and outgoing calls. Additional repeaters would likely be added to the network later without needing new public node numbers. In that configuration inbound calls to the network should work fine into the hub, but I believe the *4 command mode would need to be used from the private nodes in order to originate the outbound call from the hub node. Instead I'd still like to be able to support the standard *1,*2,*3 commands from the private nodes so that calls will originate from the hub without users needing to use the *4 command. I've experimented with functions *1,*2,*3 running a cmd script to pull the "Last DTMF command executed" from rpt stats, but it doesn't appear that extra digits of the command (i.e. the called node number) are captured in the last DTMF command string. And it doesn't appear that the functions stanza supports the X wildcard. Any thoughts on how I could accomplish this? Thanks, Corey Lardinois -KB9BNA
