Simulcast buffer value issue
by Hayden Honeywood 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Interesting thoughts Tim... perhaps worth documenting on the wiki? Even though it was just "in theory", what kind of sync error was it? Were we talking microseconds or even more? I have a receiver on a yagi pointed at a distant simulcasted site. I have noticed on occasion, I can hear the distant simulcasted site start to send audio underneath the carrier of the site that is closest (and strongest to me). The distant site is also the master site, and has the lowest latency, but I'm talking two words worth of audio is send before my other site starts sending audio. Once they are both transmitting, I have not noticed any timing issues (i.e. distortion etc). I'm not sure if this issue was related to what I posted previously about the variable audio delay on unkey. I'm running app_rpt on a Raspberry Pi using a cut down image we use here in VK. http://vklink.com.au "When simulcasting the audio from all (non captured) transmitters needs to arrive at the receiver with in an acceptable time frame (80 us). The DAC theory was that it didn't start sending audio at correct clock cycle every time. That would cause the audio to be out of sync between RTCMs causing simulcast distortion. As I said, that was the theory. The new theory is that the external clock source was causing the DAC to trigger inappropriately. I spoke with someone I met here on the list (Kevin I think its was) who is using a different external clock and reports perfect simulcast operations"

node will not connect to internet
by David Waters 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

HiMy node was running and connecting but after 4 days it will not connect anymore to internet. When I check my router to see what devices are connected the node no longer shows up. I can connect to my node with putty internally, but nothing will connect to it outside my local net. I tried to ping googsl snd other places from my node but nothing, I can ping from my computer. I found s file resolv.conf, in etcdirectry. but I am not sure what should be in this file if anything. Mine shows an ip address that isn't used on my system it is 72.something.Am i just looking at the wrong place and if so where should I look to fix problem?This happens it seems everytime my internet provider changes the host ip address, I can only get back on line by running firsttime and setting everything up again. I am really tired of doing this every 4 to 5 days. There has to be a fix in some conf file some place, but I have very very linited linux experiance.Can anyone help Please. I have tried everything I can think of which isn;t much. Dave

Manual AllStar Link Installation
by Brian Perry 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

Can anybody point me in the direction of some instructions to manually download and install AllStarLink? I have tried several times with no success. The first screen that comes up with the DIAL installation shows that it is AllStar, but after all the installation, only Debian 9 is installed. Asterisk never gets installed on my machine. I tried a few different "bootable" AllStarLink ISO setup images, but only one actually boots, either from USB or DVD, and that one only loads Debian. I'm trying to build a new machine because the previous one I built with a Raspberry Pi 3-B will not vote. It only routes the audio from the master timing source to the repeater transmitter. Thank you in advance. Brian Perry 817-454-0175 mobile

RTCM to Kenwood TKR-750
by Doug Kingston 19 Feb '18

19 Feb '18

I am looking for any guidance on interfacing an RTCM to a TKR-750. In particular: 1) should I use TA or TD for feeding in the transmit audio (I am using TD) 2) how should I configure the channel ('duplex'?) 3) what about other settings like PTT priority (currently local mic, external ptt, repeat ptt) I initially used channel mode 'repeat' which is not right because then you get local repeat mixed with the transmit audio coming from the RTCM (slightly delayed). I switched to duplex mode and now I am PTT but transmit audio. Form my contribution, I can offer a solution to the level problem interfacing the CTCSS decode (TOR) to the CTCSS line on the RTCM. I used an NPN transistor and a voltage divider (15k, 5k) to ground fed by the TOR (active high) from the Kenwood. This works nicely. -Doug- KD7DK

Rpi3 on 29655
by ARS W5OMR 19 Feb '18

19 Feb '18

I'm at my wit's end... Somewhere between asterisk -Rcvvvv and modules.conf and 'usbradio.conf ... ARRRHGGG! I know, you've been there, too - I've not had this stuff up and running for over 3 years, I've forgotten some of the most important things I knew... Steve/N4IRS, great guy that he is, helped me tremendously the other day and all was 'ok'. It wasn't quite done, but at the time, I felt confident it was merely minor tweeking... I still had to make an interface cable for the repeater to the URIx but, even without a radio connected, I was connecting (monitor mode) to other nodes. That was cool! It was PROGRESS! But, the red LED on the URI stayed on. Even though there wasn't a radio connected, I knew it wasn't supposed to be on. That meant it was sending the 'xmit' signal out. Hell, even in the node status, it's saying it's timing out and I don't know where else to tell allstar that it's not even receiving a signal. First thing I did, was modify usbradio.conf and inverted PTT and that shut it off. The voltage on the output of the URI (Pins 1 (PTT) and 13 (GND)) 'floats' somewhere around 0.65 to 0.72v, but when it's transmitting, it is pulled DOWN to 0v. That's opposite of inverting PTT from 0 to 1. (head scratch) This is on a Raspberry Pi3 connecting to a Motorola R100 repeater. Here are the .conf files, if someone wouldn't mind having a gander.... iax.conf ---------- ; Inter-Asterisk eXchange driver definition ; http://docs.allstarlink.org/drupal/node/15 ; ulaw, alaw, GSM and ADPCM should only be used, ; the rest of the standard Asterisk codecs ; (speex, ilbc, lpc10, etc) should be avoided. ; The ulaw and alaw codecs have the best audio quality, ; followed by ADPCM, and lastly GSM, ; Bandwidth used is in the reverse order to audio quality. ; GSM uses the least bandwidth, and alaw/ulaw the most. ; CODEC AUDIO QUALITY BANDWIDTH (including IP and Ethernet headers) ; ULAW best 87 kbps ; ADPCM good 55 kbps ; GSM mediocre 36 kbps [general] bindport = 4569 ; bindport and bindaddr may be specified ; NOTE: bindport must be specified BEFORE ; bindaddr or may be specified on a specific ; bindaddr if followed by colon and port ; (e.g. bindaddr=192.168.0.1:4569) ; bindaddr = 192.168.0.1 ; more than once to bind to multiple ; addresses, but the first will be the ; default disallow = all ; The permitted codecs for outgoing connections ; Audio Quality Bandwidth allow = ulaw ; best 87 kbps allow = adpcm ; good 55 kbps allow = gsm ; medicore 36 kbps jitterbuffer = yes forcejitterbuffer = yes dropcount = 2 maxjitterbuffer = 4000 maxjitterinterps = 10 resyncthreshold = 1000 maxexcessbuffer = 80 minexcessbuffer = 10 jittershrinkrate = 1 tos = 0x1E autokill = yes delayreject = yes ; iaxthreadcount = 30 ; iaxmaxthreadcount = 150 register = 29655:xxxxx@register.allstarlink.org ; This must be changed to your node number, password ; remove the leading ";" ; Incoming radio connections [radio] type = user disallow = all allow = ulaw allow = adpcm allow = gsm codecpriority = host context = radio-secure transfer = no [iaxrpt] ; Connect from iaxrpt Username field (PC AllStar Client) type = user ; Notice type is user here <--------------- context = iaxrpt ; Context to jump to in extensions.conf auth = md5 secret = Your_Secret_Pasword_Here host = dynamic disallow = all allow = ulaw allow = adpcm allow = gsm transfer = no [iaxclient] ; Connect from iax client (Zoiper...) type = friend ; Notice type here is friend <-------------- context = iax-client ; Context to jump to in extensions.conf auth = md5 secret = Your_Secret_Password_Here host = dynamic disallow = all allow = ulaw allow = adpcm allow = gsm transfer = no [allstar-sys] type = user context = allstar-sys auth = rsa inkeys = allstar disallow = all allow = ulaw [allstar-public] type = user context = allstar-public auth = md5 secret = allstar disallow = all allow = ulaw allow = gsm ; The following should be un-commented to support Allstar Autopatch service ; [allstar-autopatch] ; type = peer ; host = register.allstarlink.org ; username = <One of the Node numbers on this server> ; secret = <The node password for the above node> ; auth = md5 ; disallow = all ; allow = ulaw ; transfer = no ====================================== rpt.conf --------- ; Radio Repeater configuration file (for use with app_rpt) ; Your Repeater [29655] ; Change this to your assigned node number ; Must also be enabled in modules.conf ; Rx audio/signalling channel.

Raspberry Pi3 model B
by ARS W5OMR 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

So... my RPi3's are in. I also bought a couple of 32gb SDcards. Stopped by a Walmart (love laughing at the Walmartians, anyway) and picked up an HDMI-to-VGA adapter for the monitor I have for this project, a new 7' ethernet hose, dd'ed the RAT_RC1.img to the sdcard, dd bs=1M if=/home/geoff/Downloads/RAT_RC1/RAT_RC1.img of=/dev/sdb1 3000+0 records in 3000+0 records out 3145728000 bytes (3.1 GB) copied, 239.58 s, 13.1 MB/s plugged it into the sd slot on the Pi, then plugged in the USB keyboard/mouse combo xcvr, plugged in the HDMI/VGA adapter, connected the monitor, plugged in the microUSB cable for power, plugged the other end into the 2.4A cellphone charger, and plugged that into the strip. RPi3 red LED lights up, and that's where it ends. No monitor action, no nothing else. What am I missing? -- 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR
