Clarifications Please: Parameters for iaxrpt contexts
by Jim Aspinwall No1PC 07 Apr '19

I've had the 'phantom' node PTT issue when connecting from DVSwitch/iaxrpt on Android. It took some digging to realize there are two different suggested solutions to apply to the context(s) in extensions.conf. One says to apply: exten=<node#>,1,rpt, <node#>|X - which does not effect the desired solution (for DVSwitch/iaxrpt on Android) The other says to apply: exten=<node#>,1,rpt, <node#>|P - which DOES effect the desired solution I'm thinking you cannot have both an |X and a |P related statement in the same context... so I'd have to establish different contexts for different types of VoIP app users? and of course accommodate them in iax.conf... Is or can this be documented comprehensively? And please - if a change is to be edited in some file - indicate which file... put the some 'x' statement in the wrong file and the node breaks or statement is useless... generates more back and forth clarifications. ----------- Further - interesting/compelling, would be great to have, the mention of perhaps having the connected node(s) announce the "callerID" of the connecting user - *great* - but not (yet?) implemented? If it IS implemented - more detail please! exten=<node#>,1,rpt, <node#>|P|${CALLERID(name)} Thanks!!

USB fob choppy/stuttering audio
by Rob Noll 06 Apr '19

Good morning all, I'm trying to set up an AllStar node using a USB fob based on the CM119 chip. I'm having issues with choppy/stuttering audio, particularly on telemetry. It's bad enough that it renders the CW ID meaningless. My original thought was lack of CPU power, but I have tried it on a Raspberry Pi 2, Pi 3, and several virtual machines on a quad-core PC with identical results. Also, the choppiness is NOT as bad when using the full USB driver instead of SimpleUSB, which I believe conclusively rules out CPU power. I've also tried a powered USB hub, thinking that the USB device was not receiving enough power, with no improvement. I've used the Android mobile app to connect to the node, and the telemetry does not seem to be choppy when listening to it over the app. While I need to do some more testing to say this conclusively, I do believe at this point that my issue is narrowed down to the USB fob itself and/or the specific audio stream being sent to the device. I'm currently searching for a way to alter the sample rate that ASL is sending the audio to the device in. Has anyone experienced this, and does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks and 73, Rob, WX1N

xelatec.com & iaxrpt
by Mike 05 Apr '19

The xelatec.com servers have been down for about a week that I know of, I have been trying to get a copy of iaxrpt for a couple of my newer 64 bit win machines. I thought I had a copy saved on my cloud server, but not so, or I can't find it. Does anyone have a copy they can share with me or a link to some place else I can download it ? Thanks ...mike/kb8jnm

Connection fail message
by Joe C 01 Apr '19

01 Apr '19

Running into a connection fail every time I *3 a node. I tried multiple nodes with the same connection fail outcome. I read through literature on the issue, did as stated with no luck. I logged into my Supermon and my system is responding to the prompts as well as showing my Ptt-detected. Note if you look on Allstar it will show my node number in green BUT not highlighted in green, when you click on it you’ll see activity which of course is whatever activity I’m doing trying to figure this out. Any thoughts? Thank you Joe Cutrone K2OL Node# 46988 Sent from my iPad
