I should clarify on the software version I am running on X86. AllStarLink Asterisk Version 1.01 2/13/2018 GIT Version 004b9dd Copyright (C) 1999 - 2018 Digium, Inc. Jim Dixon, AllStarLink Inc. and others. I get version "0.327" by rpt fun 29019 *723, = status,3 ; give software version (global) I tried same time stamp script on my 2nd node,29966, but it has no USB-audio module, it goes through the motions via command line. 29966 WILL write the time stamp to the file tr.dat from the Asterisk CLI> using !/path/script. But I get the same behavior from the DTMF command called through rpt fun defined in rpt.conf. Both nodes installed on similar hardware from the same USB install thumb drive. Ideas? Suggestions?

Amen! The bickering is pointless and totally unproductive. Grow up!

I personally believe all the attacks are counterproductive. Let’s all try to work together so we can keep Jim Dixon’s dream of Allstar alive. We all need to step back, take a deep breathe, and try to work as a team. We don’t all have to get a long and differences of opinion are fine. As always, I am willing to mediate any dispute.

headers hold - how long?
by Clifford Novey 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

Hi all- When I do a: sudo apt-get upgrade I see it looks like the hold I did with install is still in effect. Do I leave it this way? Also wondering how we might find when the ASL code has been updated. I like to be a guinea pig. The following packages have been kept back: libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 raspberrypi-kernel raspberrypi-kernel-headers 73 Clifford- KK6QMS

Allison speech messages / telemetry volume
by Edbathgate 21 Oct '18

21 Oct '18

I was doing a scouting event, and experienced a number of the tx-ing stations with low audio, so I was cranking my volume and straining to hear the other stations, when a blasting disconnect message comes through. I found settings of how to block the connect/disconnect messages. There used to be 'ducking' settings in the Xipar distribution of allstar. Telemnomdb=-10, Telemduckdb =. -15. Do these still exist? I just found linkmongain variable. Mine was still at zero. I may jack that up to compensate for low hub audio. Anybody have suggestions to adjust the rx audio/hub audio/telemetry radios without severely blasting other users when I am connected into a hub? Ed N3SDO

Assistance with Radio Operation
by Martin Boroff 21 Oct '18

21 Oct '18

I have my server node running, 49155. I am able to use it to connect to another node with iaxrpt and speak with an echo link user. I have hooked up my sound card with a radio that will run fldigi on another raspberry pi with Jessie installed. Therefore I am confident that my hardware and wiring are ok. The card is a usb card. lsusb shows The first device listed is my sound card. When I connect to my node I have been using the keypad when the call ok appears. I enter *34911. When I speak the mic meter is indicating audio but my radio does not key. I am attaching copies of rpt.conf manager.conf modules.conf Please let me know if you need anything else from asterisk directory. Thank you. Martin Boroff, WD9GYM

Allstarlink package for armv6 architecture
by Dan Srebnick 20 Oct '18

20 Oct '18

HI list: Before Steve (N4IRS) stepped back from the project, he was taking a look at creating a package that would build on a Raspberry Pi B or B+ (armv6). I do currently run on an RPi B+ with an old apt_rpt build on top of Arch Linux. (See https://github.com/K2DLS/Allstar-using-dahdi-Arch-4x) But I cannot update the OS because when I do, the package fails to run and rebuild for a number of reasons. Anyway, are the current team members at all interested in creating a package that we could install on a current Raspbian Stretch image on the older RPi models? There are a number of us out here who would be interested, if for no other reason than it ought to work and we have a bunch of older RPis sitting around not doing too much! Thanks and 73, Dan Srebnick K2DLS

asl-menu Bug and proposed fix to option 3 Run Radio-tune-menu not working / high frequency noise - fixed / DTMF 3 not working - fixed
by edbathgate＠zoominternet.net 15 Oct '18

15 Oct '18

Hi folks I've been tinkering under the hood with my new 20180417 version allstar repeater, downloaded and installed last week, and figured out why asl-menu option 3 Run Radio-tune-menu for USBradio configuration is not working on my setup. In my rpt.conf file my command has "rxchannel = Radio/usb_29966". Most the rxchannel = Something is Capitalized in the first letter and the asl-menu is looking for "radio", not "Radio" < the capital R is throwing it off. First of all, My hat is off to N8THN for crafting such a nifty menu shell! Just elegant!! My proposed fix is in /usr/local/sbin/asl-menu nano the file and find line grep '^rxchannel[ \t]*=[ \t]*radio' $CONFIGS/rpt.conf > /dev/null flag grep to case insensitive by adding the -i option. grep -i '^rxchannel[ \t]*=[ \t]*radio' $CONFIGS/rpt.conf > /dev/null And the menu will work for Radio or radio. And using the hamtronics rx board with direct discriminator feed to the USB FOB, fixed the "not enough high frequency noise" during radio tune rxnoise command, and also corrected my DTMF 3 not decoding problem that I was seeing last week using de-emphasized HT speaker audio. 73 Ed N3SDO
