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

RTCM -> "Warning: GPS Data time period elapsed"
by Hayden Honeywood 09 Aug '16

09 Aug '16

Hi, I am having this issue with my voter board and a Garmin GPS18x LVC. The status page indicates a GPS lock, but the board keeps throwing this warning every 2 seconds or so. I've loaded the SNSRXCFG.cfg and checked that the unit is in NMEA mode. The selected sentences are left as default although I did check and GPGSV, GPRMC and GPGGA are all selected as I read in another thread on here. What other NMEA settings do I need? NMEA 2.3 mode on? Regards Hayden VK7HH

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?

12VDC to 5V USB power

Hi Guys: I am presently running my Pi from a walwart supply. I'd rather run the Pi from my station supply, using a DC to DC converter. I recall this topic being discussed before - but can't put my finger on the reference converters at this time. I have found these devices on Amazon, wonder if anyone has any experience with them: https://www.amazon.com/Autek-Converter-convert-adapter-DCCON-5U-0/dp/B00BMI… Thanks! Ramesh. Sent from my iPhone

Hi Hayden, we had a lot of trouble with the Garmin 18x LVC. We used different power supplies, we had a look at the protocol and so on. Finnaly we changed the baudrate from the rs232 in the rtcm and in the gpsunit with the snsrxcfg tool from 4800bd to 9600bd. Now it works ! Probably you can try this.

IAXRPT issue on Android
by John Griffith 29 Jul '16

29 Jul '16

Anyone here experiencing the network keying up when IAXRPT is started? Apparently you have to touch PTT and touch again on the Android before it will release, then it works fine. The Admins of the repeater system I connected to had to disable my node because I didn't know it was keying up all the repeaters, and I didn't know it. John Griffith N7OKN

Sending courtesy tones to a hub from linked repeaters
by Stephen - K1LNX 29 Jul '16

29 Jul '16

Is it possible to send a distinct courtesy tone to a hub from a connected repeater? We have a small network we are building and our founding member would like to hear distinct courtesy tones from each permanently connected repeater on our dedicated hub, but I wasn't sure if this was possible as it looks like all telemetry is set for each local node instead, i.e. the linkunkeyct = X parameter in rpt.conf. All the repeaters (with the exception of mine, I have an SCOM 7330 I will be using so I can manage my own tone outputs) are using app_rpt as their repeater controller. Ideally, I would like to send whatever courtesy tone is provisioned for local output (unlinkedct) to be sent to the hub. I did see some references in documentation in regards to "foreign" telemetry output, but I'm not sure if that's what I need or if it will accomplish it. Is this possible? 73 Stephen K1LNX

Macro handling
by Stephen - K1LNX 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

Will macros take more than two digits? I am starting to play around with them (and admittedly not a ton of experience), but I can't get the following to work for whatever reason: [2376] macro = macro [functions] ; Macro Commands 423 = macro,1 4231 = macro,2 [macro] ; connect to NETDA Hub 28741 1 = *328741# 2 = *128741# Does this look right and should it work? I did restart Asterisk/did an rpt reload etc, but no change. If I dial (or send from the CLI) *423, I expect it to connect to my hub nobe, *4231 to disconnect, but it does not work. 73 Stephen K1LNX

app_rpt and Hamtronics Exciter
by Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

Hi Guys: Working on the 2nd 220 repeater project. I have been feeding audio out of my fob into the 'E2 - AF Input' pin of a newer T302 (220MHz) exciter. This exciter is replacing the former T301 exciter. My issue is that the limiter on the exciter seems to be 'a little suspect' - I can set it to ~ 4.8k one day; set my TX levels and then the next day, I find that the limiter seems to have drifted off up to around 6k or even higher! I have been using the E2 input for audio and E5 (modulator input) for PL tone. I am planning on moving the audio input to E5, so essentially feeding E5 with composite voice and PL. I did a quick search of the mailing list to see what others were doing. I was able to find three posts (from Bryan Fields, Robert Poff and Sam Nabkey) referring to an "audio mod". Is the "mod" just as I describe it above, or something more than that? I see reference to a series resistor of 4.7K, so presumably this is inline with the composite audio / PL output when injecting into the modulator input? Cheers, Ramesh, VA3UV
