AllStarLink Wiki
by Steve Zingman 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

The Wiki is really coming along. we have a LONG way to go but, it's starting to fill up with information. Lots of goodies on the RTCM and the start of good documentation of the AllStarLink configuration files. One of the MANY things we we lacking is a place to post radio/repeater connection information. Tim and Bryan have added a lot of connection information for Motorola equipment. I have diagrams for Motorola, Tait and a few others. I'll be cleaning them up and posting. If you have connection information, I encourage you to get a account on the Wiki and post! If you build hardware for use with AllStarLink, this would be a good place to post connection diagrams and links! Thanks to Bryan, Tim and the RTCM team for putting together some really hard to find info all in one place! <http://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/Main_Page> 73, Steve N4IRS -- "What are HB_bridge, IPSC_bridge and Analog_bridge?"

Changing from radioless dahdi to simpleusb
by Will Bashlor 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

Hi all, I have an AllStar node on Raspbian Stretch installed via apt-get install. It’s been working fine with dahdi as a radioless node but now I want to test with simpleusb using a CM108 and BF888. I have everything connected and there’s a solid red light on the CM108 and it doesn’t seem to be communicating with allstar. I can see it with lsusb –t fine, see below. Also do I need to disable dahdi in modules? If I do that then I get error “No channel type registered for 'DAHDI'” and asterisk quits. Any quick pointers or advice? Thanks. pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo lsusb -t /: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=dwc_otg/1p, 480M |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Audio, Driver=snd-usb-audio, 12M |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 1, Class=Audio, Driver=snd-usb-audio, 12M |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 2, Class=Audio, Driver=snd-usb-audio, 12M |__ Port 1: Dev 2, If 3, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 12M pi@raspberrypi:~ $ -Will KE4IAJ

Hello from North West Indiana. I'm trying to get connected. I am using a GM300 simplex node, with a Pi3 connected to a URIx interface. In the /etc/asterisk/simpleusb file I have changed carrier from=to USB invert, and also ctcssfrom = to USB I'm getting no courtesy tone and I don't see my node green on the node list, matter of fact it's the only gray one on the list. Can anybody guide me in the right direction? Thanks Ryan KC9ZSU Sent from my iPhone

Re: [App_rpt-users] Need programming software for CM200 and CM300 Motorola
by William Higgins 10 Dec '17

Hi Loren! I was recently able to program some of my old Motorola Maxtrac radios from a fairly new and very fast Windows 10 machine using DOSBox. I found the keys to the castle in KK6JYT's online blog post. The first key is to set the cycles in DOSBox to 191. The second thing to do is to use a USB programming cable that has a true FTDI chip in it (at least that's what I used!) It's slow in reading and writing the codeplug but it does work! I've programmed several radios with it now. I would imagine the same setting might work for your CM200 and CM300 radios if their CPS requires DOS. Thanks to KK6JYT for publishing this info. My old WinXP laptop is about to die. Here's the link to his blog post: https://kk6jyt.com/motorola-radius-gm300-programming/

Hello all: I just finished building a 900 MHz repeater using a pair of TK-941 radios, I’m using a DMK URi and a Pi3 with the latest version of asterisk when using locally the repeater the audio ie very good, but most of the audio coming from internet linked connections come in with a strong constant hissss noise, in some cases the noise can be weaker or stronger than others but only happend to audio coming into the repeater from the internet. Any ideas what this may be? Thanks N2IX

Keep in mind this is new and it will require work to get setup..
