Allstar Node Requests
by scott hibbs 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

Hello, I'm a new user to allstar. I requested and got my secure personal pin number very quickly. Since I was unable to use the java web transceiver, I decided to build a micro node. I'm currently wiring (yet another new version) BF-888s to a sound card (I'm going to document it for others if successful) and I have downloaded the software for my Raspberry Pi. I requested a node number but didn't get a response. Thinking that I didn't do it correctly, I requested one again. My third request was on Sept 13. In my research, I have noted that there was a recent death of a very active ham in this technology. My sincerest condolences. I wanted to bring it to someone's attention, that although I did get a secure personal pin very quickly, I have been unsuccessful with getting a node number or a response from one of the emails on the support site. I did not get an email regarding a pending status, or a rejection so I'm wondering if my requests are not being received. I would appreciate any assistance or information someone could provide. Thank you and 73, Scott Hibbs KD4SIR

RTCM Inbound (Eth Rx) packet out of bounds
by Hayden Honeywood 26 Sep '17

Thanks to you both Lee and Jesse. Yes I've followed the buffer setting as per the link you sent Lee. I've slowly increased the values though as I've run into this issue. The asterisk server is located on the same router as the Master RTCM (latency <2ms). Just today another ham mentioned to me that having the RTCM set on auto negotiation can cause ethernet issues... so I've changed that to negotiate only at 10Mbps 1/2 duplex on the Master site.

USB GPIO recommended circuit
by Bryan Fields 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

Is there a best practices for interfacing 5v TTL logic with the 3.3v logic on the GPIO pins? I was thinking a bi-directional shifter would be good, but there are so many different ways to do this. Is there a best current practice for this? -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net

Re: [App_rpt-users] Desense (Echo) on RTCM

Use Allmon2/Supermon to disable things on the fly. Lee On Sep 23, 2017 5:28 PM, "Hayden Honeywood" <haydenph91(a)gmail.com> wrote: I fixed this issue that I posted about earlier... The problem happened to be RF getting into the receiver directly and horrible desense occurring. Managed to tighten things down and fix the issue. I am a little concerned as weather conditions are a bit variable at one of our sites, and it has been known to cause the repeater to talk to itself. Are there any easier way to disable individual transmitters if needed rather than creating multiple voter.conf files and reloading? _______________________________________________ App_rpt-users mailing list App_rpt-users(a)lists.allstarlink.org http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users To unsubscribe from this list please visit http://lists.allstarlink.org/ cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users and scroll down to the bottom of the page.

node list
by George Csahanin 23 Sep '17

23 Sep '17

Well, just discovered an issue with making connections. rc.updatenodelist has an issue. Two nodes I normally connect to, 27849 and 27891 are not in the list. But in online node status they are active. So I manually ran rc.updatenodelist and it just hangs. But looking at /var/lib/asterisk/rc_extnodes it is updating every ten minutes. Really stumped... tried http://nodes1.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/nodes.pl and I get the list that doesn't show 27849 and 27891... /Anybody steer me to a reason why they show up in the online node list but not in the directory?/ GeorgeC W2DB 2360 -- George Csahanin 10100 Carson Ranch Rd.

Does anyone have input on programming a Motorola MTR2000 repeater for use with app_rpt? I'd like to know what your RSS settings are, as well as your usbradio.conf parameters. Thanks!

I'm looking for supermon install files to put on my DIAL machine. Perhaps I'm missing something, but only found so far Supermon is on the hamvoip distro of ASL. Pointers would be great ~Benjamin, KB9LFZ

RTCM Inbound (Eth Rx) packet out of bounds

Tried again today connecting a board from home to controller (remote). Got the errors again. I increased the buffer values to the same as Tim's and it just lowered the out of bounds value by 800 or so (15230). I then changed the master site to home, rebooted and it came good. Here are my ping results with the remote site as master... >From Asterisk cmd line - *Site 1 at controller - connected via Ethernet to same router (Miktrotik RB2011UiAS-RM) PING (Mt.Wellington): Packets tx: 100, rx: 100, oos: 0, Avg.: 6.000 ms PING (Mt.Wellington): Worst: 6 ms, Best: 6 ms, 100.0% Packets successfully received (0.0% loss) Raspbian ping results: 100 packets transmitted, 100 received, 0% packet loss, time 99123ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.818/1.430/3.187/0.570 ms *Site 2 (my house via internet) - connected via Ethernet to a a TPLink router (only being used a switch - via another Ethernet cable to a 16 port switch then into main router, then out to internet). EdgeRouter-X is router. PING (Grey.Mt): Packets tx: 100, rx: 99, oos: 0, Avg.: 40.859 ms PING (Grey.Mt): Worst: 42 ms, Best: 39 ms, 99.0% Packets successfully received (1.0% loss) ^The above packet loss was the last packet of the sequence was lost^ 100 packets transmitted, 100 received, 0% packet loss, time 100140ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 33.283/33.954/35.629/0.459 ms I could eliminate the TPLink router being use as a switch just in case there is something strange going on there.
