Control States
by Steve Mahler 23 Apr '17

Has anyone found way to use controlstates (or anything else) to allow: 1. No new incoming connections, but allow outgoing connections. 2. Allow new incoming connections, but no new outgoing connections. ...STeve

Problem with Dual Node config with DIAL on RPi3
by Thomas D. Cooney, Jr. 23 Apr '17

23 Apr '17

Bob, Steve I tried another Pi 3 board - same exact failure / symptoms with both boards. I have an adjustable regulator dropping 13.8 to 5 volts for the Pi. On board voltage on the Pi is 5.03 volts. Will try adding a tenth or two of voltage. Perhaps that will help if this is a USB drive issue. Will also burn a new SD with the current RC1 software and see if the Raspian OS helps operation on the Pi. I have an appointment to provide communications for a MS walkathon this afternoon, will get to this tonight. Thanks Bob and Steve Tom Cooney, Jr., W3SF tom(a)cooneyjr.com Home: (814)626-1531 Cell: (814)931-0060

Problem with Dual Node config with DIAL on RPi3
by Thomas D. Cooney, Jr. 22 Apr '17

22 Apr '17

I have a dual node running two Repeater Builder RIMS with DIAL on a Pi 3 board. When I plug in the second RIM, it fails to initialize and stops comms with the first RIM. Heartbeat on RIM #1 becomes erratic then stays steady on. I am new to the list board, and have not seen prior posts. Thought I likely had a configuration problem, but Scott N3XCC indicates that others are having similar issues. Info links, or copies of prior related posts would be appreciated.

Allstar RTCM passing DTMF tones
by Bradlington 22 Apr '17

22 Apr '17

Hi We have an existing IRLP link connected to the now ALLSTAR repeater. We are unable to pass DTMF through allstar and back out the repeater TX direction in order to use the IRLP . Any suggestions. Thanks in advance Bradley Glen ZS5BG

USB Audio Fobs
by Ramesh Dhami 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

Hi Guys: I am preparing a RPi3 to replace a dying PC with ACID at my repeater site. The Pi will control 2 full-duplex repeaters. I have prepared the config files at home and plugged in 2 (modified) USB fobs. Both fobs worked initially... i.e., I was able to connect a test repeater to each fob and hear telem' data out of the repeater / corresponding to the applicable node #. I am using usbradio for both fobs (config changed in modules.conf and rpt.conf) The issue I have is that the LED on one of the fobs is no longer flashing and hence, no audio out of that fob. The LED is however, on permanently. Here is the output of 'lsusb': Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0d8c:013c C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM108 Audio Controller Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter It is the 2nd fob that seems to be non-responsive. Any ideas folks? I am reluctant to swap fobs between USB ports as I know that usb enumeration can be a pig! Cheers, Ramesh, VA3UV

Re: [App_rpt-users] Alternative to WebTransceiver java applet (Doug Crompton)
by Thor Wiegman 17 Apr '17

It comes as no surprise that someone like Doug would have little or no need for the web transceiver. Most of us on this list won't have use for it. Anyone who's come so far as to building their own node and subscribing to this list has likely exceeded what that web transceiver could do for them. Consider however that there is a different market, a different audience for a web transceiver. I know that I'm not the only one who got involved in this through exploration with the web transceiver. So I think there is benefit in having such a simple tool. It can be, if it works well and is designed properly, a great tool for someone to take that first step in finding out what all this is about. Consider the target audience of the Raspberry Pi. Getting kids into programming and using these devices to do things, control things and such. Ham radio needs to attract, and keep, the attention of that same audience. App_rpt and Allstarlink are great for that. But this audience doesn't come to us with anything more than a very basic, novice background at first. A web transceiver seems like a handy tool for those new young hams to explore.

Tim is the primary on the web pages. As he says, there is a lot of other work going on by the teams. This might be a starting point IF it were to go forward. https://www.doubango.org/sipml5/ Sent via smoke signal (AT&T) On Apr 15, 2017 4:37 PM, Tim Sawyer <tisawy There is no effort to replace or improve the web transceiver that I know about. It would be really great if someone could figure out how to do that with HTML5 etc. There are some interesting developments in later versions of Asterisk that would support such an effort but getting app_rpt working there is another hurdle yet to be accomplished.

Alternative to WebTransceiver java applet
by Doug Kingston 15 Apr '17

15 Apr '17

As I am sure many of you are aware, the WebTransceiver has been rendered largely useless by the deprecation of Java support in many major browsers. Even where it can still be used (e.g. Safari), the process to enable it is convoluted and a challenge for many users. Is there any project underway to develop either a standalone app or a modern browser based application in HTML5 or JavaScript that will replace this very useful capability. Lack of an authenticated client for general hams to use to access Allstar nodes is probably the major impediment to much stronger adoption of Allstar. With the uniformly poor audio quality of Echolink being promulgated by its ease of use, we really need an authenticated access method for Allstar that is as easy to use as the Echolink clients. I am willing to help if there is a path forward here. Is there a better list to discuss this? Lets discuss, -Doug-, KD7DK
