RTCM & Thunderbolt "GPS Waiting for acquisition"
by Jesse Lloyd 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Hi All, I'm attempting to get an RTCM and Trimble Thunderbolt E to talk. I'm using TSIP for the connection. Using debug level 14 I see "GPS Receiver Active, waiting for acquisition" Using debug level of 40 I can see packets coming in "DEBUG: TSIP: ok, 0, 9 - 14: 00 00 04 00 00 00 When I use Trimbles software "TrimbleStudio" I can see that the GPS's mode is "3-D, Auto"; its Status is "doing position fixes"; its Almanac is "complete & current". I can see the Lat/Lon and Altitude updating, and 6 satellites are being used for a position fix. It's in monitor mode TSIP 9600 8N1. I can't figure out why the Trimble software says everything is good, but the RTCM says the GPS is waiting for acquisition. Any ideas? Is there a debug level in the RTCM that might provide more information? Thanks, Jesse

CM108 USB fob no PTT/red LED
by DuaneVT . 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

I'm running DIAL on a R-Pi2 into a modified USB fob for connection to my repeater. Everything seems to load and be configured fine, but I can't get the fob PTT to trip. I believe the PTT FET is driven from the red LED on the fob (pin13) and I can't get a new unmodded fob to cycle the red LED either. Simpleusb-tune-menu "f" test of PTT and audio shows no LED/PTT activity, but tone is OK. Audio courtesy tones and hang time and receive audio passes the in/out of the fob during COR, just NO keying. Now I did install DIAL on the R-Pi2 without CM108 attached if that was important. Ideas where the config is unright? 73, Duane KA1LM #42996

Allmon2
by larry 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

This is more of a question for Tim Sawyer but Doug or others may have some input as well so decided to post it here. First let me say...I run a mixture of Acid, BBB & RPi2 nodes and I am new user of Allmon. Just recently I set up Allmon2 so I could group all my nodes on a single server for easy monitoring and control. What I discovered was when using the Allmon2 Control Panel there is a selection option that says "Say Time of Day (local only) the TT way" Not fully comprehending what the outcome would be .. the curiosity factor kicked in... Tried it!! Just happened to be controlling an ACID node at the time. It issued a *74 command defined on ACID servers as ilink,16 which is a "Reconnect links disconnected with "disconnect all links" command. On the BBB and RPi2 installs *74 is not defined by default. The equivalent Reconnect function calling ilink,16 is *77 on the BBB and RPi2 which is not available in Allmon2. Unless you defined a function *74 on the BBB or RPi2 there is no action by Allmon2 in its present configuration. I do realize that ilink functions can be redefined numerically on a per node basis. I would assume it is also possible to customize option commands in Allmon along with caption of the function it will perform? Can you point me to the file to make or add command changes? Or is the solution to reprogram all nodes to match Allmon and whatever *74 is customized to perform on each node? if so the Control Panel option message ought to be changed as it is misleading. Any Pointers? Thanks Larry - N7FM

Enable Inband DTMF Tones??
by KM6HK 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Inband means that DTMF is transmitted within the audio of the phone conversation, i.e. it is audible to the conversation partners. How is this accomplished on a Allstar controlled repeater? In all cases the DTMF tones are muted by Allstar and not allowed to be heard by the recieving station. This is a use case issue for us, as we need to control other systems down the links that are listeningm so we nee in band audio on the tones, which, ideally, should be regenerated before transmission. We have tried various combination of linktolink=yes / propagate_dtmf=yes, / and *4, but none of that is working. in the following chart of duplex states, there does not seem to be a choice for half Duplex w/ telemetry tones, repeated audio, and hangtime.. duplex= Submitted by hwstar on Sun, 05/17/2009 - 14:13 This configuration option tells app_rpt how to handle audio passed through the radio interface. Please note that it does not perform the same function as the duplex= configuration option in the configuration file usbradio.conf. In rpt.conf, duplex= can be set to one of 5 different modes: Mode Description 0 Half duplex with no telemetry tones or hang time. Special Case: Full duplex if linktolink is set to yes. This mode is preferred when interfacing with an external multiport repeater controller. 1 Half duplex with telemetry tones and hang time. Does not repeat audio. This mode is preferred when interfacing a simplex node. 2 Full Duplex with telemetry tones and hang time. This mode is preferred when interfacing a repeater. 3 Full Duplex with telemetry tones and hang time, but no repeated audio. 4 Full Duplex with telemetry tones and hang time. Repeated audio only when the autopatch is down.

Re: [App_rpt-users] Dial bug

Yes. 4569 is forwarded properly (I am currently sshing into it remotely on my other port I forwarded) Thanks Kevin. do I simply do the wget? I don't have to run anything, and what folder do I have to place it in?

Dial bug
by Skyler F 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

I am having a problem with AllStar registration on the Raspberry pi 2. I have the device connected to the internet for hours, and stats.allstarlink.org shows the node is active, but allstarlink.org/nodelist.php does not show the node in green, and I can not make any outbound connections nor can any node connect to me. So the only way I have been able to fix this is by first doing service asterisk reload (service asterisk restart gives me errors, another bug that needs to be fixed) killall rc.updatenodelist (nothing is returned, that means that upload node list program is not running!!!) rc.updatenodelist & Now it actually starts the process and the node list updates so I can connect to people. 73, Skyler

How to connect two repeaters through a hub ?
by Toussaint OTTAVI 21 Feb '16

21 Feb '16

Hi again, Another "beginner" question : ;-) - I have two duplex repeaters (n° 1 and n° 2), on two separate mountains. Each one has app_rpt configured and running, alone. - I'd like to install a hub (n° 3) in the city, to connect repeaters 1 and 2 - the connection must be permanent : the audio of repeater 1 must be linked permanently to the audio on repeater 2 I read a lot of things, but I do not really understand what to do : - Do my repeaters 1 and 2 have to "register" (in iax.conf) to my hub 3, as ther would register to allstarlink.org ? If so, how should I declare the corersponding "server" in iax.conf on 3 ? - Do I need to declare 3 in the nodes stanza of 1, and 1 in the nodes stanza of 3 ? Or 1 in the nodes standa of 2, and 2 in the nodes stanza of 1 ? - How to make the connection between 1 and 2 (through 3) permanent ? (ie, without having to type DTMF commands to connect) Thank you for this great piece of software ! But I think mastering it will require some time, HI :-) 73 de TK1BI

No courtesy tone from IAX2 client ?
by Toussaint OTTAVI 20 Feb '16

20 Feb '16

Hi, I've got a single node, with a duplex TRX, and IAX2 client. I have two users : - a radio user - an IAX2 client (Zoiper), operating in "vox" mode. When the radio user unkeys, the correct courtesy tone (unlinkedct) is sent, to both users. When the IAX2 client unkeys ("mute" button), the courtesy tone (linkunkeyct) is never sent. I tied various settings, without any result. Any idea ? Is there a possibility to disable or to override courtesy tones elsewhere than in rpt.conf ? f/ex, in extensions.conf ? 73 de TKBI My settings in rpt.conf : unlinkedct = ct1 remotect = ct3 linkunkeyct = ct8 nolocallinkct = 0 nounkeyct = 0 holdofftelem = 0 telemdefault = 1 telemdynamic = 0

Documentation Question
by Steve Mahler 19 Feb '16

19 Feb '16

Has anyone generated a document that outlines ... 1) the full list of COP comands, the list of parameters for each, and how they interact 2) the full list of ILINK commands, the list of parameters for each, and how they interact 3) the steps necessary to build custom macros (for an RF or IAX or SIP user) If the document doesn't exist, does anyone have a fancy but well documented set of CONF files that they would be willing to share. Or, any other useful pointers. Thanks, ...STeve - KF5VH
