Courtesy tone
by Bryan Taylor 18 Feb '16

18 Feb '16

Hi all, I am wondering if this scenario is possible: Have an icom radio at home connected to pc running Allstar. This radio is on same frequency as local repeater. The system works great runs great and sounds awesome. Wondering about courtesy tones... Can I have a courtesy tone that fires only when the traffic is from the local repeater, no courtesy tone from network traffic all the while having no connect/disconnect announcements. Basically the only time I ever want to hear the Allstar software make any noise is when someone keys up the local repeater and the system sends back a courtesy tone to them. Other than that I want the node to be totally silent. Is this possible? I can get the tones to work but I get the connect/disconnect announcements. Thanks Bryan Sent from my iPhone 6

Hub vs Node?
by Jim Aspinwall 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

What if anything are the specific differences between a single node (tied to simplex, repeater, Pi box and headset...) that can presumably only accept one in-bound call/connect, and a hub, to which many can connect and bridge through/over? Given a certain amount of specialization or purpose/interest-built hubs I am interested in having a purpose-built hub for a few systems and users not exclusive but so as not to impose on others' hubs and traffic. What does it take to do this?

Installing DIAL on Debian 8 x64 ?
by Toussaint OTTAVI 16 Feb '16

Hi, I'd like to install DIAL on a Debian 8.3, in a virtual machine. My Debian is x64. Can I safely run the x86 install script here : https://github.com/N4IRS/AllStar/platforms/x86/jessie or should I necessarly reinstall a x86 Debian before ? Thank you in advance. 73 de TK1BI

RX/TX on DIAL
by Josh W4ZZK 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Evening all Would appreciate a little insight to an issue here. Perhaps this is very simple. Have the DIAL box pretty much "good to go" with the USB FOB, cabling from a M120 Motorola, within the hood of a DB25 is a 4n33 Opto for keying the rig with PP2 (and using PP10 as COR). To test some abilities, I've gotten Echolink enabled on the node, and have RX audio from the radio through the computer to echolink, as well as over the phone to the Portal. This part seems to be just fine. Unfortunately, the computer is not sending signal to TX. I have "simpleusb.conf" configured with: pp2=ptt pp10=cor Have I missed something simple in addressing the machine to use pp2 and pp10 for rig control, rather than USB FOBs onboard points? Again, this is new... bear with me as I learn the ropes! Thanks! Josh, W4ZZK

Excellent - thanks. BW and hardware won't be an issue where I think this would go. Today's Topics: 1. Hub vs Node? (Jim Aspinwall) 2. Re: Hub vs Node? (Steve Zingman) 3. Re: Hub vs Node?

Trimble Gone Mad
by Tim Sawyer 14 Feb '16

We had an episode of 3 Trimble GPS units showing intermittent loss of lock. The problem started at zero hours Zulu and lasted for about 2 hours. All units are located within a 20 mile radius in Orange County Califorina. The problem cleared on it own but I'm wondering what the heck happened. Did anyone else have this problem? -- Tim

So I've was listening to a conversation on one of my nodes today. I looked used the top command and I saw around 180 to 190 percent. Is this possible for it to read over 100 percent? This is on a rasbperry pi 2 running dial. N1XBM Apparare Scientor Paratus Communicare Allstar Node # 27086, 41540, 41812, 42086, 42658
