alright, so things did NOT go as planned with a fresh install. This is the lovely message I get, and I got it once before, only to have solved, if memory recalls, by doing a complete re-install. Of which I do NOT want to do again. I've had this issue in the past, in 2013, and the issue never got solved. FWIW, the URI was plugged in during the install and when running firsttime.sh asterisk -r [Oct 17 22:52:16] NOTICE[6334]: app_rpt.c:22024 rpt_master: RPT thread restarted on 28569 [Oct 17 22:52:16] WARNING[6334]: app_rpt.c:22036 rpt_master: rpt_thread restarted on node 28569 [Oct 17 22:52:16] WARNING[6366]: channel.c:3051 ast_request: No channel type registered for 'SimpleUSB' [Oct 17 22:52:18] NOTICE[6334]: app_rpt.c:22024 rpt_master: RPT thread restarted on 28569 [Oct 17 22:52:18] WARNING[6334]: app_rpt.c:22036 rpt_master: rpt_thread restarted on node 28569 [Oct 17 22:52:18] WARNING[6369]: channel.c:3051 ast_request: No channel type registered for 'SimpleUSB' [Oct 17 22:52:20] NOTICE[6334]: app_rpt.c:22024 rpt_master: RPT thread restarted on 28569 [Oct 17 22:52:20] WARNING[6334]: app_rpt.c:22036 rpt_master: rpt_thread restarted on node 28569 [Oct 17 22:52:20] WARNING[6370]: channel.c:3051 ast_request: No channel type registered for 'SimpleUSB' [Oct 17 22:52:22] NOTICE[6334]: app_rpt.c:22024 rpt_master: RPT thread restarted on 28569 [Oct 17 22:52:22] WARNING[6334]: app_rpt.c:22036 rpt_master: rpt_thread restarted on node 28569 [Oct 17 22:52:22] WARNING[6373]: channel.c:3051 ast_request: No channel type registered for 'SimpleUSB' [Oct 17 22:52:24] ERROR[6334]: app_rpt.c:22019 rpt_master: Continual RPT thread restarts, killing Asterisk repeater*CLI> Disconnected from Asterisk server # simpleusb-tune-menu Error parsing device parameters # nano rpt.conf: rxchannel=SimpleUSB/usb_28569 ... # nano simpleusb.conf: ; SimpleUSB configuration [general] [usb_28569] ...

The RTCM uses a 16 bit DSP with a tightly integrated interrupt driven firmware package written in c http://www.microchip.com/wwwproducts/en/dsPIC33FJ128GP804 If you're interested here is a link to the open-source software for the RTCM.. http://svn.ohnosec.org/viewvc/projects/allstar/voter/board-firmware/?root=s… From: App_rpt-users [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@lists.allstarlink.org] On Behalf Of Doug Kingston Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2017 9:41 PM To: Users of Asterisk app_rpt Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Micro-Node RTCM I know that I would have a GPS with 1pps feed to get the timing.

DIAL 8.5 Install
by Benjamin Naber 18 Oct '17

18 Oct '17

For those installing the DIAL 8.5 distro, it is confirmed to work on a Dell Latitude D531. It has 2.5GB RAM, and I selected the 32bit install. Might I suggest that new installs go through the firsttime setup process, and then modify the asterisk conf files as you see fit. Appears denying the firsttime and just copying config files (from an machine whose HDD was making funny noises) does not work. Only nodes that I had at the bottom of the rpt.conf would work. ... while the original install did work, and would register with ASL, I could not connect to other nodes. RTFM strikes again! ~Benjamin, KB9LFZ

Audio Clicking
by lengriff＠optimum.net 17 Oct '17

17 Oct '17

The ETSNJ runs 2 repeaters on a Raspberry Pi using an ultra high speed SD-card. After a restart, the repeaters are fine for 2-3 weeks, then we begin hearing a clicking sound on the audio. As time goes on, this progresses until the clicking becomes brief audio interruptions. It seems like something is using up processor cycles, causing re-clocking of the audio stream. I know that clearing the log file helps, but the symptoms will still appear over time. I have been restarting Asterisk once a week to keep the audio clean, but there is still some audio dropouts at times. Does anyone have an idea about what could be causing this?

GE MASTR II Over Modulation?
by Bob Pyke 15 Oct '17

15 Oct '17

Our RPi controlled radio has an rf spectrum so wide that it bleeds over in my Yeasu (150 feet between antennas) when I'm working a distant repeater that is more that 200 kHz away from our tx freq. Any suggestions where I can look for info on how to deal with this? Our duplexer is the notch type. Thanks, Bob k6ecm 73 Sent from my iPhone

P25 linking on a Quantar with Allstarlink for analog
by Bryan Fields 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

I'm releasing this now, it's been working reliability in my home for the last week. This is a set of programing and a guide on how to setup the basic allstar config. Using Kevin's interface board I'm able to fail back to in cabinet repeat if the RPI should die. In controller mode it will lock to analog or digital after an initial 10 seconds of received audio. http://wiki.w9cr.net/index.php/Allstar_and_P25_on_Quantar Please give any feedback you may have. 73's -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net

RTCM de-emphasis setting
by Stephen - K1LNX 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

I'm going to be deploying a dedicated 900Mhz simplex node soon using an RTCM. I will need de-empasis set, as I will be pulling my audio directly from a discriminator, but I am little unclear as to what the defaults are for de-emphasis. For example, I see this in the RTCM manual: [5678] buflen=750 mobile1 = mobp1,adpcm,transmit,*nodeemp* If I just simply leave out "nodeemp" will that perform de-emphasis by default? Waiting on parts to be delivered so I am unable to test anything myself just yet, but just curious if someone has already ran into this and could clarify for me. 73 Stephen K1LNX

simpleusb GPIO at shutdown
by Bryan Fields 10 Oct '17

10 Oct '17

Greetings, I'm seeing some strange behavior from the GPIO on the CM119 chip. When asterisk is shutdown, all the pins go low (active). This is not the case when asterisk is running and you disconnect the usb, or when system resets, or if asterisk is kill -9. Has anyone else seen this? I'm using GPIO to channel change and at shutdown it's imperative the state not change. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
