Audio too much highs and not balanced when connecting to RTCM

Tim, I thought that setting ctcsslevel to 0 in the RTCM still causes pre-emphasis to happen, aslong as the txtone is set to a value? Does ctcsslevel need to be 1? Hayden

Audio too much highs and not balanced when connecting to RTCM

Hi I am a custodian for our local clubs repeater and have just installed the Allstar unit . Can you please confirm if emphasis settings can be done on the RTCM module for both RX and TX audio chains from and to the Repeater. TKR-750 External accessory as duplex unit . Audio appears to sharp and not enough lows - I am suspecting it is being double emphasised somewhere in the RTCM. There is one setting on the RTCM unit known as "nodeemp"--anyone got more technical details on how these units are designed and what type of audio the unit is expecting ? Regards Bradley Glen ZS5BG South Africa

transmitter stuck on transmit (rabbit hole)
by Lowell 02 Apr '17

I am attempting to run allstar on a raspberry pi 3 occasionally with wifi. I downloaded rpi2_dial_V101.img <http://dvswitch.org/files/DIAL/rpi2_dial_V101.img> but it appears to be based on some version of raspbian that doesn't have wifi support. So, I tried http://dvswitch.org/files/DIAL/RAT_RC1.tar.gz which I thought was a later development release but now I see it has an earlier date than "V101". However, wifi does work. I am having a couple of problems though. Sometimes after the transmitter returns to receive the receive audio is no longer present and the sound fob "mic" input appears to be dead. Worse, though, is when I try to get the node to announce something like status ( *712 = status,12 in rpt.conf) the transmitter starts transmitting but there is no audio. When it stops transmitting (maybe a minute or more later) I see a message " NOTICE[15291]: app_rpt.c:10859 rpt_telemetry: Tracepoint rpt_telemetry() exit chan_simpleusb ACRUK dev=usb TX OFF >>". So, I thought I would look at the source code and see what that might mean. Now I am confused about where to get the official source code. I think it is supposed to be at https://github.com/AllStarLink/DIAL so I started looking at the code there and have decided I might be way down the wrong rabbit hole. Time to reset. Should I go back to V101 or maybe download the source and attempt to build myself or... I saw this message on a resolved issue "feature/serial signaling for USB channel drivers #14" which sound interesting to me because then I could use the same radio interface I use for all my other applications. Any hints would be appreciated. Lowell

Hello, Will the RAT software be able to remember more than one wifi connection at a time? I'd like to be able to take my portable node in my truck and then be able to bring it back home without having to run wifi setup. 73 Ray, W2RJR
