Disable Transmit
by Skyler F 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

While I am at it, the script I am writing for my remote base also requires the radio is not transmitting while the frequencies are being switched. Is there a cop command or a way to disable Transmit on the remote base for the duration of the script? 73 Skyler KDØWHB

Web Transceiver keying
by DuaneVT . 25 Apr '16

25 Apr '16

I have Web Transceiver running on my Win10 laptop. I can connect to my repeater/node and can hear Ok back through AllStar Web Transceiver. Repeater receiver audio is passed to the repeater transmitter and back to me on the laptop. I can connect and control the node fine. BUT, locking or holding down the CTRL key to transmit results in the repeater keying for 1 second only, dropping to receive and again keying for 1 second again. This continues until I release transmit. I do not hear my laptop mic audio passing to the repeater and no solid keying; just this 1 sec key, 2 sec unkey cycle. Any ideas where to look? Thanks, Duane KA1LM #42996

Web transceiver replacement?
by DuaneVT . 25 Apr '16

25 Apr '16

Now that the Web Transceiver is unusable via Java, what does the average ham use to get into the node system from their computer? I know I can get into MY node via IAX if I use my IAX password and its IP address. If my node is on public dynamic IP address, the AllStar Link server knows its actual current address. How can I or anyone else know its current address to PC-remote node access it? I have several Club hams who would like to PC access the node system. Basically, how do we replace the Web Transceiver? Thanks, Duane KA1LM #42996

Raspberry Pi 3 Wfii Question
by John Grassham 24 Apr '16

24 Apr '16

Greetings from a newbie, Steep learning curve here so bear with me. I have a Raspberry Pi 3 (running DIAL) with URI that I am trying to configure to use WiFi. All of the instructions that I can find with a Google search do not seem to work with this version. Does anyone on the list have experience working with the Pi 3? 73, John Grassham, KC5ZXW

Another newbe question
by George Burton 24 Apr '16

24 Apr '16

Just loaded Dial, when I neared end it wanted me to Enter my Allstar Portal user id: and then to enter the Portal PW. I was told by a friend to enter the allstarlink.org webpage login information. Well that didn't work and I checked the my webpage login and password before I used it. I received "Invalid user name or password" Then Allstar Link Portal Config Download Failed..Exiting. So what does the program want me to enter at that point? At this point is there a method to recover or do I need to reload Dial and follow the prompts? George

AllStarLink - pre-alpha port to Asterisk 1.8.3.32
by Stacy 23 Apr '16

23 Apr '16

All, I've finally decided to put the code I was working with to port the AllStarLink modules from the current Asterisk 1.4.23-pre to 1.8.32.3 on Github in my repository. Note that this is very very pre alpha code, and while it will compile and run (I'm currently running my test node of 42088 with it and have it listening on the WINSystem) there are quirks and bugs with it that will frustrate you and prevent it from running right. My Github repository for this is at: https://github.com/KG7QIN/AllStarLink-Asterisk-1.8 This is the source code only, there are no pre-compiled packages here to download and run. You must know how to compile Asterisk 1.8.32.3 from source to be able to compile and use this code. Due to how some things changed between 1.4 and 1.8, you cannot just take the AllStarLink modules, compile them and drop them into an existing 1.8 installation and expect them to run right. They will load into Asterisk, but app_rpt will not run correctly. The README.md file lists some things with this code, and also tells what modules have been ported (most have, but a few still remain). I'm releasing this in the hopes to help move AllStarLink forward with the eventual hope that it can be ported to Asterisk 13 (consider this a waypoint or gateway release towards that goal). Anyways, feel free to test this. I'm open to collaborators on this. And please use the bug reporting system for the repository on Github for reporting anything with this. We don't really want to kill this mailing list with reports for a currently unofficial port of the AllStarLink modules. Thanks. -Stacy KG7QIN

Re: [App_rpt-users] RTCM voter problem - SOLVED
by James Cizek 23 Apr '16

23 Apr '16

Well, after many of you offered your time and thoughts on my voter problem, Jim WB6NIL graciously donated a couple of hours of his time to remotely help me and he uncovered the problem. All 5 of my RTCMs were purchased within the last 6 months, and I suspect all 5 have the same problem (will verify that today) The problem is that the microprocessor crystal is running too fast! There is 9.6Mhz crystal that drives the MPU, on the particular unit that Jim helped me diagnose, it's running 2.5 khz too fast. There is a sanity check in the firmware that makes sure the correct number of samples were taken in the last second (it's supposed to be 8000) and fails if the sample is incorrectly sized (mine is taking 8003 samples). Jim helped adjust the code to be more tolerant of the sampling error and my whole system instantly worked. I have since tested it with ALL my GPSs (they all work great!) So I now have everything working, including the voting. I haven't contact Micro-Node about it yet. Jim told me that voting should work fine but this clock error would probably not be acceptable for Simulcast (something we have no plans on doing as of now). Since mine are deployed at mountain top sites, I'll probably pursue a crystal that is running at the correct frequency and use "standard" firmware so that if the decision is ever made to play with simulcast, I won't be right back in this same boat. Thanks to all that helped out, and a HUGE thanks to Jim for taking the time to troubleshoot this. BTW- This clock error will NOT effect the RTCM in mix client mode, it only affects it in voting or simulcast mode! Thanks all, have a good weekend. 73 James KI0KN On Tue, Apr 5, 2016 at 12:56 PM, James Cizek <james.m.cizek(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I posted this problem many months ago and I came to the conclusion at that > time that it was my 1PPS signal from the GPS into the RTCM that was the > problem.
