Anyone use the linode scripts?
by Loren Tedford 11 Sep '16

11 Sep '16

I am working on one my Virtual Containers in Proxmox its a Debian 8 installation however I for some reason asterisk just doesn't even start after installation.. You can find the info of the scripts https://github.com/N4IRS/AllStar/tree/master/platforms/linode Has anyone else attempted to run this stuff in Virtualized environments or containers?? I honestly see no reason that the software its self couldn't run in the container but curious if anyone had some of the older scripts that actually worked..

RTCM 9.6 MHz OCXO
by Joe Moskalski 10 Sep '16

10 Sep '16

I felt I needed to let those on this mailing list know my findings with simulcasting with the RTCM units since I have received a great deal of help and information from people on this list. For the past week I have had a two (2) site simulcast system up and running on UHF using the RTCM units. I have done a great deal of testing and proving on the bench and it is so far working beautifully. The one issue that was made apparent to me early on was that in order for the RTCM's to be suitable for simulcast, the processor inside it needed to be clocked to a more accurate source. This source is supposed to be the Programmable Clock Generator Module in order to produce a GPS locked 9.6 MHz reference for the processor. Unfortunately this unit is not currently available. Knowing this, I started to go down the road of possibly designing my own but stumbled upon a cheap, plentiful supply of Symmetricom 9.6 MHz sinewave OCXO's. I took a chance and ordered a few to experiment with to see if the RTCM would be able to use this in place of the supplied crystal for a clock. I found they did, with that I decided to modify the RTCM with an SMA connector just about the audio adjustment pots and use this OCXO. I trimmed the frequency on the units to match each other and used them to produce the processor clock. After a week of testing I have found the results in the overlap areas to be exactly as I would expect them on a public safety/commercial simulcast system. While in an overlap region where both transmitters are within 3 dB of one another, to the ear you hear no audio phase wandering. Of course this has only been a week of testing so I wouldn't call it case closed yet. I will say that if this system remains this way after testing for 6 months to a year than using a 9.6 MHz OXCO is a viable alternative to achieve the needed precision and accuracy needed for the processor clock to make it suitable for simulcast. If anyone has any questions about my system feel free to contact me. i will more than happy to share everything I have done with anyone. Thank you to all on the list that contribute. 73's for now Joe KC2IRV

Allmon2 ideas
by Loren Tedford 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

I wonder if we could make allmon2 a little more friendly by giving it a installation script like some of the other big cms out their do.. I had some thing in mind like using msql database or some thing to hold all the data I wonder if that is possible?? Anyone ever thought of this? I had at one time looked at it on github and thought about modifying in that way but at the time i just modified it to get it working because we were in a pinch and i didn't have time.. My next thought is to whether we could integrate with that keydown logs using mysql with node numbers basically just store each one in a databse idk i am probably rambling here but any thoughts or ideas??

Allstar with Yaesu 8800r node radio
by John McKain 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Good afternoon group, I am in the process of reviving my Allstar node from a PC to a Raspberry pi3 and looking at using a spare Yaesu 8800r radio. While googling, I haven't found much about people's experiences in getting it functional. I see where I can purchase a URI to 8800 cable, but would like to see if anyone has had success before spending the money for the cable. Additionally, in there a sample conf file I could look at that works with the 8800? Any info would be appreciated. John K6JRM

Help requested
by Doc - KØHTF 09 Sep '16

Hi. I am not one to cry uncle but even with help from two professional computer men we have not been able to get AllStar to work here. I can connect to the system and that is it. My radio link is up and fully functional. 438.1 MHz & 100 Hz. Tone. Should I be seeing a screen with a console like EchoLink or IRLP? I am new to Linux also. I have a Raspberry Pi-3 and a URIx interface. What would be involved in getting someone to write a micro-SD chip for me to just plug and play? Obviously the chip will be supplied. The Wi-Fi would be nice but not necessary. I think if I could once get on the learning curve may not be quite as steep. I have been a ham since 1957 and have an extra license and many years as a broadcast engineer (had First Phone with radar endorsement) but by jingo this has me bewildered and buffaloed! ==> NO offense intended. I sent this earlier but from the wrong e-mail address. 73 and travel safe and thank you.! Tom Doc

Assistance with TM-d710 and URI-x with DIAL
by Michael J. Wolthuis 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

I am helping a friend with a new node. He has a URI-X, Kenwood TM-d710 and DIAL. TX audio is working fine. RX audio is not. I have the usbradio.conf file set with carrierfrom=usb If I change it to carrierfrom=usbinvert then I can get DTMF through and audio, but it is keyed 100% of the time and no TXAudio works. So it seems it should be set for usb. I tried DSP, didn’t seem to work either. The cable between the URI-X and the d710 uses the PS2 connector and is a pre-made cable from uricables.com I am at a loss of what else to try, should I build the loopback tester that I see in the archives?

Help Connecting To Echolink Nodes
by k7ksn＠yahoo.com 03 Sep '16

03 Sep '16

Good Day, My apologies if this topic has been covered before. I am a newbie to Allstar and learning everyday. I am running the Crompton RPi2-3 V1.02beta version on a RPi-3 and have successfully enabled Echolink. I can receive calls to my node from other Elcholink Nodes and can successfully connect to the Echolink test node by entering *33009999 and getting repeated audio back, so port forwarding must be correct. That being said, I cannot connect to any other Echolink node even making sure to add 3 and and leading 0's to make up a 7 digit Echolink node number. Any help s greatly appreciated. 73'sBrien Morris - K7KSNNode 43585

Private nodes not connecting
by N6GKJ Land 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Hi guys, I have 2 RPI 3 servers running the latest N4IRS release. I have a private node on each server. RPI3 #1 is 10.0.0.200 NODE 1000:4568 RPI3 #2 is 10.0.0.201 NODE 1001:4569 Neither node can connect to the other. I am using the CLI inside the asterisk program to manually connect using rpt fun 1000 *31001 from server 1 or rpt fun 1001 *31000 from server 2 Listed here is how the scripts are defined. extensions.conf RPI3 #1 [globals] HOMENPA = 209 ; change this to your Area Code NODE = 1000 ; change this to your node number [default] exten => i,1,Hangup RPI3 #2 [globals] HOMENPA = 209 ; change this to your Area Code NODE = 1001 ; change this to your node number [default] exten => i,1,Hangup [radio-secure] exten => ${NODE},1,rpt,${NODE} [radio-secure] exten => ${NODE},1,rpt,${NODE} rpt.conf RPI3 #1 rxchannel = dahdi/pseudo [nodes] ; Note, if you are using automatic update for allstar link nodes, ; no allstar link nodes should be defined here. Only place a definition ; for your local nodes, and private (off of allstar link) nodes here. 1000 = radio(a)127.0.0.1 <https://us-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/compose?to=radio@127.0.0.1>:4568/1000,NONE ; This must be changed to your node number 1001 = radio(a)10.0.0.201 <https://us-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/compose?to=radio@10.0.0.201>:4569/1001,NONE ; and iax port number if not the default RPI3 #2 rxchannel = dahdi/pseudo [nodes] ; Note, if you are using automatic update for allstar link nodes, ; no allstar link nodes should be defined here. Only place a definition ; for your local nodes, and private (off of allstar link) nodes here. 1000 = radio(a)10.0.0.201 <https://us-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/compose?to=radio@10.0.0.201>:4568/1000,NONE ; This must be changed to your node number 1001 = radio(a)127.0.0.1 <https://us-mg6.mail.yahoo.com/compose?to=radio@127.0.0.1>:4569/1001,NONE ; and iax port number if not the default I am not having any results with this. I did not uncomment node register line in iax.conf for either server and also in rpt,conf I did not uncomment the status report lines I just simply want these two servers to talk to each other on the same lan The nodes in both of these servers are HUBS.
