Files listed, zero bytes...
by Jim Aspinwall 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

Yesterday I made a backup copy of my node (Pi 2 based) in preparation for some control/script changes. 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?

Audio has no bass...
by Bryan Taylor 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

Curious as to if there are any settings in the dial setup that would make the sound have more bass, I have 2 nodes using icom icf-f121 Radios and one using a Motorola gm300 and they all sound fine, the other node is using an old Marconi Marcom vi and the audio it transmits back to the repeater is very tinny... The audio it sends out over the network is really nice. Just wondering if there are different settings for different style audio Thanks Bryan Vo1mxz Sent from my iPhone 6

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

Reverse AutoPatch
by JJC 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

I have scoured the internet to find documentation about reverse autopatch but have had no luck. I have been able to get autopatch working without a problem and have had _limited_ success in getting allstar(dial) to answer. I was able to get allstar to answer and allow me to run DTMF with the following, but really all that I want is reverse autopatch or both.... If I make any real changes to the stanza in extensions.conf I get an error like: Using INVITE request as basis request - 1939985154(a)198.199.84.66 Found no matching peer or user for '198.199.84.66:5060' [Mar 30 16:15:32] NOTICE[575]: chan_sip.c:14351 handle_request_invite: Failed to authenticate user "Caller ID Strings..." <sip.conf> [general] allowguest = no match_auth_username=yes register=REDACTED:XXXXXX@gvgw.simonics.com/2230 context = default allowoverlap = no ; Disable overlap dialing support.

DIAL-RPi-2: Echolink drops off. Why?
by kk6ecm 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

On our DIAL RPI-2 build, Echolink seems to drop offline... not registered, even though Allstar is registered; a restart of asterisk, and all is well again. Any ideas why? Thanks, Bob kk6ecm

RTCM GPS sentence
by James Cizek 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

HI all, Does anyone know which GPS sentence(s) the micro-node RTCM is looking for? I am working on adapting some commercial GPS units that originally provided timing for cellular sites and I suspect that my remaining issue is that it's not outputting the sentence the RTCM is looking for. If anyone knows which one (or ones) it's expecting, it would be greatly appreciated information! My unit is currently spitting out $GPGGA but even after a valid fix is achieved, the RTCM remains in the state "GPS is active, waiting for lock" Thanks James KI0KN

rxdemod=speaker not working for remote base
by Skyler F 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

I just set up a remote base with deemphasized audio, not discriminator. On usbradio.conf when I set up rxdemod=flat, the audio sounds very bassy coming from my remote base, so I changed it to rxdemod=speaker. I restarted asterisk, and now no audio came from the radio, just a dead carrier, even when I turned the rx level to 999 in usbradio.conf. 73 Skyler _____________________________________ Here is my usbradio.conf file: [general] [usb] hdwtype=0 rxboost=1 txboost=0 rxctcssrelax=1 txctcssdefault=250.3 ;rxctcssfreqs=100 ;txctcssfreqs=100 ;rxctcssoverride=1 carrierfrom=usb ctcssfrom=usb rxdemod=speaker !!!I get audio when this is set to flat, but nothing on speaker!!! txprelim=no txlimonly=no txtoctype=phase txmixa=composite txmixb=no invertptt=0 duplex=1 rxondelay=1 rxsquelchdelay=25 rxnoisefiltype=0 eeprom=0 ;gpio=out1 gpio1 = out1 ; in, out0 or out1 gpio2 = out1 gpio4 = in ; in, out0 or out1

Translating voice messages in French : where's the "to" ?
by Toussaint OTTAVI 03 Apr '16

03 Apr '16

Hi, I'm translating the voice messages, so that they are in French, and with "real names". f/ex, instead of "Node 1234 connected to node 5678", I want to hear : "Ajaccio VHF connecte a hub voip" I found the corresponding audio files in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt, and I recorded them in French. But I still hear the "to" in English, and I didn't find any file named "to.ulaw" or "to.gsm". So, where's the "to" ? ;-)
