Allstars Link
by Ed Harwood 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Hello to the list. My name is Ed Harwood (W5CVE). I'm learning Linux as I go and I just got a Raspberry PI 2 this week. It came with a SD chip that had NOOBS installed. From noobs I installed Raspbian. Well noobs was removed during the install. I downloaded the rpi2_dial.img from the Allstar Link page so that I can setup an Allstars node. Now I don't know how to install that file. Can somebody help me out and provide some answers? Thank you so much in advance. Ed Harwood, W5CVE Sent from my iPhone

RxCTCSSfreqs / EchoLink
by Steve Mahler 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

Does anyone have information on ... 1) In rpt.conf, setting variable rxctcssfreqs, where is the table of valid RX tones? 2) In rpt.conf, setting variables [tr]xctcssfreqs, is there a limit to the number of tones added to the list? 3) Can the EchoLink section be configured to say ... W9YB Connected ... but NOT say ... to node 41111? ...STeve KF5VH

dahdi in ACID
by kk6ecm 27 Feb '16

27 Feb '16

I'm getting the following message in ACID (CentOS 5.4) (I know, but deciding to leave it for now :-) [Feb 26 12:27:51] ERROR[10463] codec_dahdi.c: Failed to open /dev/zap/transcode: No such file or directory It appears transcode is not being generated. The repeater seems to work fine, but it keeps adding to our /var/log/asterisk/messages file. Any ideas for a solution, or should I even be concerned? Thanks, Bob kk6ecm

New Node and Question
by Steve Mahler 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Hello from Lafayette, Louisiana. Node 42316 has just been tied to its repeater. It sounds great. We are going to try tomorrow to get a discriminator tap off of the receiver so we can have multi PL. I have some questions. If you are willing to talk with me about a couple of issues ... please send you phone number and I'll call you (or suggest something else ... I could talk to you on your node). The system is ACID. We would like to bring back some functionality of the previous SkyWarn controller. And although I have used Asterisk for some simple projects, I need some help with understanding how the config files are processed by app_rpt. The topics are: 1) Interaction between the COR, CTCSS and override settings 2) CTCSS RX/TX lists ... can you have a PL in the RX and not in the TX, and have the default PL generated? 3) I need help understanding the DTMF command structure and adding new commands. 4) Solicit comments about SWISSARMY (K0KN) ...STeve - KF5VH

DTMF Passing on RTCM voter system
by Jesse Lloyd 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

Hi All, I have a very simple setup. We're building a stand alone repeater with one voting receiver and putting a WLAN link it to tie the two together. So rpt.conf [1] rxchannel = Voter/1 duplex = 2 hangtime=100 althangtime=100 totime = 495000 voter.conf [general] port = 667 buflen = 125 password = **** [1] client1 = rtcm1,transmit,master client2 = rtcm2 txctcss = 100.0 txctcsslevel = 30 txtoctype = phase txprelim = yes thresholds = 255,1=10:20 mixminus = y About as simple as it gets. I have a device with requires me to poll it via DTMF. As it stands I can't get DTMF to repeat out of the transmitter. App-rpt mutes the audio. Any ideas on how I can get this to work? I don't need to control any of asterisk's functions with DTMF. I can see chan_voter.c:1529 voter_mix_and_send: Voter 1 Got DTMF char 5 so I know it's decoding. Everything I've read deals with sending DTMF to another node and out to RF, but this is keeping DTMF inside the same node. Thanks, Jesse

Dial
by Skyler F 25 Feb '16

25 Feb '16

I apologize for the earlier e-mail pointing out the small bugs of DIAL letting it down. DIAL is an awesome operating system, and has had a lot of work put into it from Steve. Despite the few problems I found, it beats ACID by a lot, and is awesome that it runs both on raspberry pi and computers! I don't want the bugs I pointed out to scare anyone away from this distro. 73 Skyler KD0WHB

CM108 USB fob fixed
by DuaneVT . 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Thank you to Steve and Bob for getting right back to me with a clarification of the PTT mod. My impression was that the red LED was PTT and not MUTE due to the way the instructions showed the red and green LEDs without mentioning that they were added to the original PCB. I did the trace cut to isolate the red 330R resistor and wired to the CM108/13 pin. Great idea to reuse the onboard red LED. All works fine now. I noted a Facebook comment apparently referencing these "fob" questions. Thanks for not offering any help. Perhaps one day I'll know it all like you. But for now, my hands are full learning Linux, R-Pi2,app_rpt, and Allstar Link from scratch. I hope soon to have my MSR2000 linked in the network. Thanks again for those who took the time to be nice. 73, Duane

duplex=2, hear myself, repeater
by gregory 24 Feb '16

24 Feb '16

Hi all, in duplex=2 i can hear myself for just a sec when i unkey. Is the correct was to solve this is to change to duplex=3 and wire the rx radio audio out/cod to the tx radio audio in/ptt? hardware = kenwood tx radio, kenwood rx radio, asterisk on pi2, uri, duplexer. wiring PDF here w6fbw.digitalattack.org/wiring.pdf
