Dial PI setup steps, please
by Te Bussell 05 Mar '16

05 Mar '16

Hi, Somewhere there must be the complete guide to getting a PI node with dial configured. I have the image file running, set the time, and changed my password. I have a node number previously assigned. I can ping internet addresses, so i am getting out. I feel certain that i need to start a configuration download, but i am in the dark. (Here is a tip for ipad users. Try the free Puffin browser, and flash works.) I have laptops and other computers that i can use. I am anxious to get this going, but my wife is asleep for a very early start time. Anyone? I need to be somewhat quiet. 73 Bill KB9WKR Sent from my iPad

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

remote receivers questions
by Steve Wright 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Greetings! For remote receivers, is there any work being done on using RTL SDR rtl_fm multiple-instances on one dongle, as multiple app_rpt IP connected receivers? I ask, because it seems that a remote (RX only) site can host as many receivers as I can shoe-horn in the box, and as many as I can add solar-panels to feed. It also seems, that I may as well host neighboring areas' remote receivers, and they host mine - for even larger coverage. It just seems a stack of ten GM300s in there is the hard way, and it's a lot of current draw too. Any other ideas?

Re: [App_rpt-users] Acid install by USB

DIAL will support the card. I did not come up with a user friendly way to configure it. I will work more when I have time.

Nobody seems to want to modify it for that and its now obsolete. So I suggest the DIAL distro which can be burned to a usb stick. I dont know if it has the drivers for your wireless nic though. Might have to deal with that afterwards. Try it and see if it works. By the way when you burn the usb stick, do a direct image burn or "DD" with Rufus.

RTCM packet out of bounds by: -1
by Jesse Lloyd 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hi All, Looking back through the app_rpt archives I came across this unanswered topic from Fredric Moses: Hello, I currently have 4 RTCM's running for a few years now on a UHF system just fine... I want to start doing the same to a VHF repeater that I have taken over.. I created a second port in the voter.conf and attached a new RTCM to that port and it worked for a bout a week now.. There was a crew at the site doing work and a power cycle happend on the gear and now the single VHF RTCM is spitting out the following.. 12/04/2014 23:59:15.160 Inbound (Eth Rx) packet out of bounds by: -1 All the UHF RTCM's are connected fine and passing traffic.. The server shows the VHF connected and it is receving audio/cor just fine but no TX audio. If i pull the ethernet plug from the vhf it goes into failover mode and local repeats just fine... But with the ethernet plugged in i get no TX audio and the console on the RTCM fills with the above messages... -- Fredric Moses - W8FSM - WQOG498fred at moses.bz <http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users> I too am having a similar issue. When I arrived on site the host LED would be solid until traffic on the network. From there it would flash repeatedly, Tx Audio & PTT would be up and down, and I would see the Inbound (Eth Rx) packet out of bounds by: -1 error in the RTCM. For me when I added a dumb switch between the RTCM and the Cisco switch (which is set to 10 half) it started to work fine. I'm using 250ms of buffering and it's only a 15ms hop to the server, with very little jitter. I've also noticed I'm getting a large number of packet errors on the various switches that all my RTCM's are plugged into. It doesn't seem to matter if I run the RTCM's in 10 half or 10 Full I get packet errors and collisions on the ports. My hunch is that there is something wrong with the duplex setting in the RTCM firmware, has anyone done any testing to see if there are port errors on the switches that their RTCM's are plugged into? The other thing that I was wondering is if a poor quality GPS signal would cause this error. The antenna has a very good path to 3/4's of the sky, but I have a large building blocking one direction. Not sure if the maybe the GPS accuracy is dropping to say 100 meters or is getting some multi-path off the building and is effecting the timing? I'm using a Trimble Thunderbolt E. I never seem to loose the GPS LED or get any debug info about dropping the GPS location. Any help would be great, I'm grasping at straws a little. Thanks, Jesse
