Is the time in UTC? How far off is the system time? Have you done a full calibration of each board? What baud rate do you run on your GPS's? I tend to use 9600 baud and have had no issues with the GPS's I have used. There is various GPS debug tools available in the RTCM. They are documented here - https://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/RTCM_Client#GPS Can you possibly try injecting a 9.6MHz signal in place of the crystal on board? Perhaps you have a variant of James KI0KN's problem where his crystals were off frequency. I can't comment on that as I built all my boards and they have external frequency references.

Multiple Cop commands
by John Rudolph- N2YP 14 Jun '18

14 Jun '18

When using cop 61 or 62 to change gpio states can you change more than one pin with the same command or do you have to break it out as one pin at a time? Example: cop,61,GPIO1=0,GPIO4=1,GPIO5=1 If so is this the right format and if not what would it be?

RTCM [RX Packet Out of Bounds] ***Updated***

For what it is worth, I've used both the BG7TBL and Garmin puck units on the original VOTER boards and had no issues at all. The BG7's were 2016 models and I've never had one fail - yet and like Chuck, I hope Murphy isn't listening. Hayden VK7HH

Squelch Tail Crash Elimination
by John W Benedict 07 Jun '18

07 Jun '18

Hello, I have ASL running a Dell Slim Form computer all seems to be work quite well, connections, Echolink and local repeater with great audio reports however... I like to know how to eliminate the squelch crash on the tail maybe adding some milliseconds to the receiver audio? The system is a Yaesu DR-1X interfaced with the URIx controller using SimpleUSB in ASL version 20180417 The computer: Dell SFF Version 4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.88-1+deb9u1 (2018-05-07) x86_64. I am very novice with Linux and Asterisk but learning bits and pieces... Thank you John de KE5RS _._ . ..... ._. ...

not as intuitive as EchoLink
by Mark Hilvety 06 Jun '18

06 Jun '18

Ok, I'm a new in-list-ment: and: I find the system cryptic... I'm running linux Mint 18.3 and firefox as a browser.. I can get the list pages for each of the nodes, BUT... HOW do I access the transmit/receive mode for them??? EchoLink has the connect function and a trans/rec togle , I see none on the list pages... Is there some software I need to download or just What special key do I push? WHAT AM I MISSING???

Test A ECHO-TEST NODE 48230 for me ?
by Mike 05 Jun '18

05 Jun '18

I have framed-up a stand alone echo-test / parrot type node on 48230 Being only framed up, it has much work to be completed on it. More than just window dressing. I wanted it to function on a VPS node and to be able to operate simply on the connect string without any dtmf required. Since there would be no way of knowing if your audio levels are good enough to run dtmf. I need to adjust some timers and such. And I may need to limit both 1 connect at a time and a 5 min connection timer in the future (as it appears to me now). giving anyone a chance to use without interference. I may in the future, make a drop box to pick-up the audio file for additional analytic on www.29993.link (work in progress) So, that's it, just connect to 48230, listen for the 'poorly recorded' prompts (LOL), and help me find a bug ? Perhaps someone can help me with better menu prompts ? Work in progress, it will get better. Please let me know what you think or how to improve it. I have a full duplex latency test destined for the next node on my list. But I hope to keep these 'testing' node numbers permanent tools at your disposal 24/7. In doing this I found a lot of errors in the default config modules.conf of deb9 install (more on this later). But this is the point of playing around at this point for me. 'TESTing', Getting back in practice of the asterisk/app_rpt code with a few useful trivial experiments. 73, ...mike/kb8jnm
