What to do when your repeater gets keyed and no one comes forward and Identifies.. Today during my qso with another ham this happened and the individual keyed right over me while i was talking of course i was in full duplex with the repeater using IAX rpt so i unkeyed hoping the individual would id no one came forward.. What steps do i need to take and what other actions should I take?? I have already started recording every key down automatically with our system... any thoughts?

Understanding ilink,9 usage
by larry 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

Recently I installed a Dial version on a RPi2 In it includes command to use ilink,9 to send a text message to another node. I am unable to find additional info about ilink,9 and how it works. Could someone give me an explanation if how to utilize it? Also what if anything needs to be pre-configured locally or at the receiving node to use this function. A command syntax example would be nice as I am confused by the comment following the defined DTMF of 809 Rpt.conf defines .... 809 = ilink,9 ; Send Text Message (9,<destnodeno or 0 (for all)>,Message Text, etc. Thanks Larry - N7FM

Did I once read I could configure 2 nodes radios to function with 1 uri? I'm not sure where to find info on that. Thanks

ACID Crontab
by Steve Mahler 05 Apr '16

I am having some problems with cron entries running when I am not expecting them to run. This is an ACID distribution and the crontab is set from the root account (crontab -l | crontab -e | etc.). My crontab file looks like (with the questionable lines commented out). The starting comments were taken from a search for CENTOS 5 crontab man page. Just what am I missing?? # # Fields - KF5VH # # minute - any integer from 0 to 59 # hour - any integer from 0 to 23 # day - any integer from 1 to 31 (must be a valid day if a month is specified) # month - any integer from 1 to 12 (or the short name of the month such as jan or feb) # dayofweek - any integer from 0 to 7, where 0 or 7 represents Sunday (or 3 letter name like Mon) # command - the command to execute # */5 * * * * /etc/asterisk/scripts/wxzip/Alert0 10,25,40,55 * * * * /etc/asterisk/SANITYBOOT/sanityboot 03 02 * * * /sbin/ntpdate pool.ntp.org >> /etc/asterisk/LOG/ntptimelog # 07 00 * * 1 /etc/asterisk/scripts/WXA/oobuild 44 # 58 23 * * 1 /etc/asterisk/scripts/WXA/ooclear 50 # 07 00 * * 2 /etc/asterisk/scripts/WXA/oobuild 43 # 58 18 * * 2 /etc/asterisk/scripts/WXA/ooclear 50 # 06 00 1-7 * 4 /etc/asterisk/scripts/WXA/oobuild 46 # 58 18 1-7 * 4 /etc/asterisk/scripts/WXA/ooclear 50 The cron log shows ...

DIAL serial console?
by Bryan Fields 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

Would it be possible to get the DIAL install to enable serial console during install and after installation? I run all my systems headless and actually had an issue finding a monitor yesterday to install on a non server hardware lacking IPMI/iLO. Serial would be a nice to have on ttyS0, 115200n8 by default. Thoughts? -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice 727-214-2508 - Fax http://bryanfields.net

Files listed, zero bytes...

Delete the whole tree structure and try the transfer again. It's not really safe to SFTP (or any tenuous-remote copying) over an existing production directory tree. SFTP first to a temp dir, and then login and cp -a Steve

I should know better - the only way to access the file system is with the SD card running... fine... Still, the not accepting file transfers and not spitting errors is odd. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Files listed, zero bytes...

Later yesterday the control/script changes were made, but I did not have a chance to review or test until this morning. The method of the copying was through BitVise SFTP, selecting then dragging the highlighted files/folders to a local folder on my PC. ? It appears that those files actually did get copied this morning. Only a bit later did I try testing the control/script changes on the node and a few worked as expected, a few others unsure. I went to look at the files changed to see if I had the command (DTMF) strings correct and notice in the SFTP window that MANY files on the node now show zero bytes. ? OMG!?!?! ?How/what zero'd out files that I was merely copying? I tried to SFTP a couple of the files back into the node and while I see what appears to be a successful copy status, the file still shows zero bytes.? Before I down the node and put the SD card in the PC to view the file system there, or in my Mac... and try to copy them back from the supposedly successful backup. Has anyone got a clue about such an event?

Re: [App_rpt-users] Difference between Dial and Acid

Thank you Dave. Once you get here, ring me up and we’ll have you and wife over for dinner. I’ll have my tower up by then and you’ll be able to hit my repeater from Queen Creek.

It is built to operate the old Pentium4 and the newer architecture Dual Core processor PC's. It runs off of Debian and uses simpleUSB. Overall solid product. I've not had an issue with it. Good deal your running the WINsystem off your repeater in Mesa. I am getting ready to move to Queens Creek as I'm in the process of applying for a home loan with Ryland homes and hope to move in November. I plan to apply for a 440 repeater frequency to run my Allstarlink network. Hawaii/Mainland Allstarlink network. I am also running my other nodes in a DataCenter in San Francisco and it is working great. What is your repeater frequency? Look forward to further dialogue as I plan to move my family to Arizona. My wife is from Thatcher and I'm from Hawaii.

Thanks, Steve. I realized I only replied to you rather than reply all, so I'm copying it back to the group.
