Have you looked at: http://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/RTCM_Client#GPS Specifically, does this Garmin use 5V or 3.3V logic? I believe the RTCM uses 5V logic only (the VOTER) will do either. If your Garmin is 3.3V, it may have issues. Also, make sure the baud rate is correct, and it is configured to send the required NMEA sentences.

chan_usbradio.c error

I periodically experience the following error on the RPi3 with DIAL (/var/log/asterisk/messages). Any clues? The repeater uses a URIx, and the Linux address for the USB is the same as devstr= in usbradio_tune_usb.conf ERROR[537] chan_usbradio.c: HID process has died or something!!

Hi everyone. I’ve had my Allstar ACID system up for years and for the most part it’s working fine. If the repeater has had no local use for an extended period of time, then someone local transmits into it, The first 10 seconds of audio is “mororboat” choppy, with rapid rhythmical packet loss into the remote nodes (not the local transmitter though), then after 10 seconds or so it’s fine again and There’s no way to get it to do that again except to wait another 2 hours or so. Anyone experienced this? I’m on CenturyLink ISP with the proper ports configured. I don’t find that opening ports makes much difference anyway, the packets seem to find their way.

We can give it a try. I'll be happy to troubleshoot it. Steve On 11/15/2017 07:34 PM, Will Bashlor wrote: > This is on an RPi Zero W if that makes a difference.

iPhone Verizon Hot Spot Issues
by Will Bashlor 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Hi All, Anyone use their iPhone hot spot on Verizon? Any issues? Mine gives me a fit not wanting to connect to most any node (mine and others) most of the time. After constantly rebooting my node and phone several times, and retrying to connect to various nodes, sometimes it’s eventually successful. Any similar experiences? Suggestions? 73 Will, KE4IAJ TARG <https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=196073504193006&ref=br_rs> AEC

allstarlink.org logs
by Benjamin Naber 12 Nov '17

While trying to figure out why, apparently, a node on my DIAL box dropped all of it's connection, I began to wonder what the logs look like on the register.allstarlink.org server. How may a controlled few of us have access to this? What lead me up to this, is evidently I don't have log rotate turned on, and asterisk, or some other magical force, decided to stop asterisk from logging after the log file was 25MB. Not knowing if Asterisk logger just appends the file with logging info or what. In any event, I copied the messages log file, and removed the original, and touched a new messages log. Then I went into the asterisk console, and restarted the logger module. It is logging again. This said, while trying to troubleshoot things, I would login to an ASL box I have access to, and watch the logs when I make a node connection to it, and also watch the logs on myside. Somethings I have noticed: - Using DIAL 8.2, I've never noticed any issues with connections, either outbound or inbound. - Using DIAL 8.2, this is what I would see: [Nov 11 21:26:30] WARNING[545]: chan_iax2.c:10127 iax2_do_register: REGISTER-LOG: Sending registration request for '45221' [Nov 11 21:26:31] WARNING[553]: chan_iax2.c:7690 registry_rerequest: REGISTER-LOG: registry rereqquest (from memory) REGISTER with 67.x.x.x who sees us as x.x.x.x:4569 with no messages waiting. - I see now when someone connects: Accepting UNAUTHENTICATED call from 67.215.233.178: > requested format = slin, > requested prefs = (), > actual format = ulaw, > host prefs = (ulaw|g726aal2|gsm), > priority = mine -- Executing [45221@radio-secure:1] Rpt("IAX2/67.215.233.178:4569- 5735", "45221") in new stack whereas before it was: AUTHENTICATED Plus I see a whole bunch of these every few minutes (this is maybe 1/3 count of these lines when it happens. notice the time.
