Output CTCSS Follow Input?
by Brett Friermood 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

I seem to recall discussion of a setting that transmits CTCSS only when local repeater input or linked audio is being transmitted, and does not for ID, courtesy tone, etc. I've looked through the archives but have not found anything. I may just be confusing it with features of some other controllers. The reason I ask is a recent discussion on the other list ended with the answer of being unable to do it since there is not any code in all of asterisk/app_rpt to handle it. Thanks, Brett KQ9N

[Solved] Node 29115 is no longer in the database
by Corey 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

Last year I took my nodes off the air while I sold my home and find new place to live. Upon buying my new home I decided to upgrade my LAN and WIFI from a dlink based system to a Ubiquiti UNIFI based system. New subnets, VLANS, routers, switches, access points, etc. The nodes never did find their way to the stats page after the move. They registered just fine and connected to everything. I finally found the problem after poking around and it was the /etc/resolv.conf file on the node server. It's first line was pointing to my old router IP address. I changed the first two line to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 and the nodes stats immediately showed up on the stats page. 73 Corey

Echolink not registering
by Bob Pyke 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

An old revived node with Echolink is not registering, and I'm wondering what I missed. Have both TCP and UDP port forwarding set, echolink.conf same as before. Also, the echolink gains are properly set in rpt.conf. Then node ssh and Allstar linking all works properly with Putty and other nodes, respectively. Is there something else? I've been through the instructions several times (sigh!) Thanks, Bob k6ecm 73 Sent from iPad

RA-40 - USB Radio Adapter
by Kevin Custer 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Masters Communications has released a new USB Radio Adapter - the RA-40. This radio adapter has all of the features of its sister, the RA-35, but, the RA-40 includes two more level control potentiometers for the TX channels. This allows the RA-40 to be used in just about any situation from a simplex node using handhelds and MIC audio to the audio hungry Yaesu System Fusion repeaters, BridgeCom repeaters and Kenwood repeaters. Information on the RA-40 can be seen here: http://www.masterscommunications.com/ Please refresh the page if you don't see the RA-40 link, as it was just added recently. Comments and questions are welcomed - here or privately. Ordering is available from the website using PayPal. Thanks, Kevin Custer - Owner Masters Communications Disclaimer: This is a product I make available to the public for a profit. 25% of the profit of the RA-35 and RA-40 goes to the AllStar Link Network, where it's used to help defray the costs of server co-location and other recurring bills. Thank you for your continued support of AllStar Link.

I got lost today with Crompton's image..
by Loren Tedford 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

I recently was contacted by some one through facebook that was using Crompton's image and was wondering exactly what is different between there image and the dial image when it comes to simple usb... This individual made their own USB fob however it would not work at all with the dial distro.. Maybe I did some thing wrong i don't know but all i have to say is that it worked just very low audio on the Cromptons image.. The issue here is that the branch is so different conventional Debian commands don't work in Arch linux and the way that it seems to recognize different USB sound fobs makes me wonder first off how many other new comers to the allstar community are confused.. I know i would be thats for sure..I guess i am venting more than informing but if some one has an idea what possibly they changed to over ride the modules.conf files etc.. That would be great.. Because even with noload in modeles.conf the echochan driver was still working mysteriously.. -- Loren Tedford (KC9ZHV) Email: lorentedford(a)gmail.com Email: KC9ZHV(a)KC9ZHV.com http://www.lorentedford.com http://www.kc9zhv.com http://forum.kc9zhv.com http://hub.kc9zhv.com http://Ltcraft.net http://voipham.com

Event Management + COP 62 + GPIO = error?
by K1RA - Andy Z 01 Aug '17

01 Aug '17

Hi, I'm running a RadioUSB channel driver setup with an RA-35 USB peripheral with a CM119A that has several GPIO pins available. I'm attempting to write a test event to set a GPIO pin on that USB peripheral based on a system variable state, but I believe the app_rpt event parser is not correctly working and I'm wondering if this is a bug or there is a work around. Here's my GPIO setup in usbradio.conf [general] gpio1 = in gpio2 = out0 gpio4 = out1 gpio5 = in Here's my event in rpt.conf [events1999] cop,62,GPIO4=1 = c|t|RPT_RXKEYED cop,62,GPIO4=0 = c|f|RPT_RXKEYED I receive the following error within the CLI when monitoring activity ERROR[4499]: app_rpt.c:3483 rpt_event_process: Unrecognized event action (0) in exec item malformed: 0 = c|t|RPT_RXKEYED ERROR[4499]: app_rpt.c:3483 rpt_event_process: Unrecognized event action (1) in exec item malformed: 1 = c|f|RPT_RXKEYED It appears the first '=' in the GPIOn=x setting is causing the parser to break the <action-spec> too early per the docs here http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/176 Apparently the parser is NOT really looking for ' = ' as the delimiting string, but catching '=' instead. I see cop 61 event is looking for "GPIO%d=%d" per line 12827 in app_rpt.c as far as I can tell, but its never getting to that code https://github.com/AllStarLink/Asterisk/blob/master/asterisk/apps/app_rpt.c Note I can use the CLI and cop,62 command to properly toggle the GPIO so I know that part of the parser seems to be working OK. I've also set a DTMF function command to toggle GPIO and that works too. I've also placed other <action-specs> that don't have an '=' in place of my above cop,62 and that works fine as well. Any suggestions, fixes or workarounds? Thanks & 73 andyz - K1RA http://k1ra.us/
