Node 28515
by Mike Shafer 15 May '16

15 May '16

I was informed by a local ham that he was unable to link to another node through our Allstar repeater, node 28515. When I tried it I got confirmation tones followed by "connection to node number nnnnn was unsucessful". After verifying info information per Allstar Link.org suggestions in the article [Cannot Receive Connections or Make Connectios to Other Allstar Nodes] including proper port forwarding I was only able to get connections and commands to work intermittently.Yesterday the node was listed with green background, today is is not and show up as "Node 28515 is no longer in the database". Everything appears normal during reboots. Could you please check 28515 status and make suggestions as to why the system has gone down. Thanks, Mike W0GJTSent from Yahoo Mail on Android

Hi All, I am looking for an Allstar RTCM module. Due to the exchange rate I'd like to see if anyone has some for sale a bit cheaper than brand new. Please email me directly if you do. I am located in Australia. Thanks Hayden VK7HH

W0JRL Image

I was just told to put this out on the group: If you are running W0JRL's Image for the raspberry pi, do not run a system-update currently because it will update to a newer version of raspbian which breaks AllStar. Please wait until he fixes this. More info: jlappliedtechnologies.com

Link Activity Timer
by Steve Mahler 12 May '16

12 May '16

The rpt.conf file has the following variables ... ; ;LINK ACTIVITY TIMER ;lnkactenable=0 ; Set to 1 to enable the link activity timer. Applicable to standard nodes only. ;lnkacttime=1800 ; Link activity timer time in seconds. ;lnkactmacro=*52 ; Function to execute when link activity timer expires. ;lnkacttimerwarn=30secs-ann ; Message to play when the link activity timer has 30 seconds left. ; Can someone say definitively if the timer runs for the time a remote is connected to the AllStar Server -OR- the time of an active transmission from a link? That is does it time out a set of users or time out a forgotten interconnection. ...STeve - KF5VH

Log into the RTCM and select "d" for diagnostics and pres "1" for set initial tone level then set for 3khz deviation. That's what I do at least. They match my Acid nodes. k0jsc On Wed, May 11, 2016 at 10:00 AM, <app_rpt-users-request(a)ohnosec.org> wrote: > Send App_rpt-users mailing list submissions to > app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > app_rpt-users-request(a)ohnosec.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > app_rpt-users-owner(a)ohnosec.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of App_rpt-users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

RTCM transmit adjustment
by James Cizek 11 May '16

11 May '16

Hi all, For those of you using RTCMs on your repeaters.... I was wondering what procedure you use to set the TX level on your RTCM. There are great tools built into the RTCM/Allstar for setting squelch and RX levels, but TX is left pretty much to your imagination. Curious how folks are going about this. On the hardware-only path controllers (SCOM, Arcomm, etc...) it's very clearly documented about how they'd like you to set levels throughout the audio path. There is even reasonably good documentation for setting TX levels with a URIx. The RTCM, not so much. I've got a few of the RTCMs deployed now and things sound really good, but I am following my own made-up procedure based on what I think it should be. Got to wondering how others are doing it and if I could improve my methods any. Thanks for sharing! James KI0KN

more XIPPR XIPAR or whatever it's called
by Steve Wright 11 May '16

11 May '16

Righto, I got most of it running. NOT for the inexperienced as the passwords are hidden deep in www conf dirs, and it exercised my find and grep skillz to the max! But therein is enough information for most l33t hax0rs to find it. Email me if you want to WORK on it and I'll be more concise. Now to add some usbaudio and serialPTT goodness and see if the voter will fly! What fun! S

Help Tuning Stats Server
by Tim Sawyer 10 May '16

10 May '16

While Jim is in the hospital I'm attempting to get the new stats server working. But I'm out of my element here and need help. The new server is getting killed by all the status updates and requests. I'm not sure if Apache is to blame or if the server can't provide enough threads or just what the problem is. It looks like there is plenty of free memory. If you have experience with high volume CGI applications on Debian/Ubuntu please email me. -- Tim

Which extensible PBX?
by Steve Wright 08 May '16

08 May '16

Greetings, Which extensible PBX for general ham radio use? I mean, we have a couple specialised distros for app_rpt use, and that is good. But for other general usage, I tried XIPAR, pbxiaf, freepbx, and had a good read of a bunch of others. Most stuff is just plain broken, unsupported, installer is broken, insanely complicated, or some other very irritating combination of various breakages. There's so so so many interesting modules, toys, and apps, and adding them to ham radio would just be such a blast, but I emphatically do not look forward to building a larger system completely from scratch, nor do I look forward to being an admin on such a system. There are numerous projects lying adrift. Where is the hope? Steve
