Disable the TXENA
by Skyler F 30 Sep '16

30 Sep '16

Is it possible to disable the T X E N A announcement when re enabling the transmitter? I have a script which disables the transmitter and re-enables every time that I switch channels on my remote base. It is sort of annoying that it goes throughout all links that have telemetry enabled. 73 Skyler

I think we're on the wrong track with our fixation on cmedia hackable chipsets. It's too hard. Why can't we use one of the other DSP modules and some serial USB _TX signalling?

audio for direct VCO FM
by Steve Wright 02 Jun '16

02 Jun '16

Gurus, What are the limitations with audio-driving a 50MHz FM Transmit VCO directly? Sorry that's a really open-ended question. I suppose it will vary per each chan_ driver as well, as well as the emphasis settings and so on. So dealing with the issues of emphasis, compression, (audio)bandwidth limiting and so on - how much can be taken out of the radio and handled by the chan_ drivers, and how different are they each? It was suggested elsewhere, that everything over 12KHz be not permitted anywhere near an FM modulator stage, but how much does that actually happen with the CM119 chipset? I ask because on a transmit-only site, there hardly seems to be any point to having a "transceiver" there at all, when a clock generator, buffer, PA, and filtering, is a fairly simple unit. Cheers, Steve

Re: [App_rpt-users] Node list problem on node 29997
by Jeremy Lincicome 31 May '16

31 May '16

After doing some research, I think the problem is being caused by the ISP. 29997 seams to be the only node having the issue. I think there might be a routing issue with Forethought. I'll contact Forethought tomorrow and see what they say. However, I think it's weird that I'm only seeing the issue on allstarlink.org and register.allstarlink.org.

Remote control does not work if functions stanza is changed
by Skyler F 31 May '16

31 May '16

Is this a bug or am I not supposed to do this in app_rpt? : Under my node this works fine: [1001] functions = functions [functions] DTMF stuff here IF I do this however, [1001] functions = functionsVHF [functionsVHF] DTMF stuff here Everything works EXCEPT if I do a remote command from another node, so if I am on node 1002 and do *41001, it will say "I OWN COMMAND" but I can not execute any DTMF successfully. If I do *41999 *70, I don't hear Allison's pretty voice :-( 73 Skyler KD0WHB

Send telemetry packet
by Skyler F 31 May '16

31 May '16

I really need to send a standard telemetry packet, not a Playback or a localplay. The playback nor local play command solves my problem, and the only telemetry that gets it right for my situation is the connect, disconnect, status etc telemetry. SO let's say I want to send the digit "1" over the network. How can I do this the way AllStar does it, NOT LocalPlay or Playback? Shell/CLI command? A playback on a full duplex node seems fine and will play local and remote, but when duplex is set to zero, the playback command will only play local. The playback command also disregards the fact that a remote node has the telemdefault set to zero, so the node will still transmit even if it does not want telemetry. So again, I need to send a standard asterisk telemetry packet, like a digit or a "Connected" announcement without actually connecting. Any suggestions?

docs.allstarlink.org error?

Is the following from http://docs.allstarlink.org/drupal/node/69 true, where it says, "(currently not supported)?" ctcssfrom=dsp ; no,usb,dsp ; no - CTCSS decoding, system will be carrier squelch ; usb - CTCSS decoding using input from USB FOB ; (currently not supported) ; dsp - CTCSS decoding using RX audio in DSP. ; rxdemod option must be set to flat for this to work. It seems to only apply to usb - ... from USB FOB. Comments? Thanks, Bob k6ecm 73

more - usbfob replacement
by Steve Wright 30 May '16

It seems perfectly trivial to use these breakout boards, a handful of CM-119 chips, and haywire the other components on top. Cost - about $35, for TEN of them. QFP48 are not as difficult to solder as they look. Easy to do anything you like with any pin. No pcb to make. All parts COTS. Can mount four of these boards on an RPI3 proto shield and just plug 'em in. https://www.adafruit.com/products/1377 http://www.aliexpress.com/item/10pcs-free-shipping-CM119-QFP48-new-original…

Maxtrac GM300 TX audio to JT270M
by Loren Tedford 30 May '16

30 May '16

First off I want to thank Skyler he is the only one that reached out to me today as i am struggling with figuring out the pin outs on this particular setup.. I am going to rewrite this question here a little bit.. First off we are looking to do take the TX side of a duplex cable from uricables and place spacer pins or Ethernet solid core wire in the pins to go to the JT270M With Skylers Help i have come up with the pins on the Maxtrac that should be forwarded I think but not too sure.. 2,3,7, However what pin placement should they go on in the mic connector.. Also Their is a few more options it looks like and not exactly sure what to pick from.. Here is the link where i was sent . http://radioaficion.com/cms/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Leixen_VV-898_Microp… So.. I am not out at the repeater site so I have no clue what pins are taken and not on the TX side of that cable.. Anyone that can lead me to a better direction as to which pins to cross and where that would be great..
