Announcing the AllStar Community Online Forum
by Tim Sawyer 13 May '19

13 May '19

The AllStarLink team is announcing our new community online forum. The site URL is https://community.allstarlink.org. It is up and ready for use. Our new community is easy to use, yet it has many features. It takes a while to discover all of them. Just a few are listed here to get you started. You should login with the email address you use on the app_rpt-users list. If you want to use another email address that’s fine of course, but your old posts from app_rpt-users won’t be attributed to you. No login is required to browse or search the site. The app_rpt-users archives going back to 2005 have been imported. You can easily search for old posts right within the community. In fact, as you compose a new post, community will automatically search for and show you like posts. That might show you an old post from years ago that may help answer your question even before you post. Community.allstarlink.org is both an email list and a modern secure community style bulletin board. You may use it by email only, just on the web site or some combination of both. You may choose from a myriad of notifications options including no email or all the way up to receiving every post or a digest. You may unsubscribe from any topic (thread) and still remain on the list. If there is a discussion you don’t care about you can easily ignore the entire topic. The default notifications work great so run with those until you become more familiar with the system. Posts are organized in chronological order from the oldest to the newest. It remembers what you read and will drop you into a topic where you left off. There is a trust system to increase your privileges and present awards as you use the community. We would like community to become the place to discuss all things AllStar related. But no one is forced to move and the app_rpt-users email list will continue into the foreseeable future. We will occasionally import new posts from there so you’ll be able to track any remaining activity. Click the hamburger menu (3 bars on upper right) to read the FAQ and to see other options and settings. Click the avatar to see your profile, bookmarks and private messages. So dig in, start learning and have fun. Be sure to pass along any thoughts, questions or suggestions. 73 from the AllStarLink Team.

AllStarLink to SVXLink Reflector
by Rachid Karroo 13 May '19

13 May '19

Good day all Here in the Indian Ocean. the Reunion Island Amateur radio repeaters use SVXLink Reflector to connect among themselves. We have setup a link using raspberry PI and SVXLink to connect our repeater network to them. I have setup an AllStarLink node here in Mauritius and would like to bridge/link both network. I have tried to use the AllStar Echolink to achieve same but it does not work through TCP Port 5300. Echolink uses UDP Port 5198, 5199 for out and inbound and TCP 5200. SVXLINK Reflector uses TCP Port 5300 to allow SVXLINK nodes to connect. In SVXLink I use a Reflector logic with the following: [ReflectorLogic] TYPE=Reflector CALLSIGN= XXXXXX <---- your callsign, no need to use assigned Echolink Callsign. JITTER_BUFFER_DELAY=0 HOST= [tcp-ip of the svxlink reflector] AUTH_KEY=[Password to connect] PORT=5301 <---- Can be either 5300, or 5301, or 5302 Is it possible to change the Echolink Port value 5200 to 5300 thus may be allow connection to SVX reflector using the Echolink module AllStarLink ? Or is there an alternative way to do it? Thanks for any advice 73's Rachid 3B8FP.

URIx versus URIb
by Lu V 12 May '19

12 May '19

It’s been about 10 or 12 years since I ordered a URI and I just ordered one as I ran out of them and it came as a URIb version. I didn’t even notice it until I started investigating while I was having trouble with reaching sufficient discriminator level and pin 21. I’m using Kenwood next edge repeaters and I have several of them. I’m finally getting around in adding a node to my Marathon Florida repeater and discovered the hard way that the URIB will not work properly I called and found out that they change the chipset and it is not as sensitive. Just wanting if anyone else had experienced this and what the resolution might be? I tried testing a URIb on a gm300 and found that it just barely had enough level. It actually warns you but it does work. There needs to be an alternative or they need to fix this because I can see this being a showstopper for a lot of people. Lu Vencl KA4EPS

Simplex node with RPi and discriminator audio
by Keith Williamson 10 May '19

10 May '19

I'm wondering if this is a realistic configuration for a simplex node: RPi3 with DMK URI connected to the 9600 audio in and out signals of an Alinco DR-135T. I want to be able to use CTCSS so that random signals don't get bridged to connected nodes. My concern is that with the above configuration, the CTCSS decode in the radio is bypassed. Consequently, CTCSS decode needs to be done via usbradio since simpleusb does not have this capability. However, I keep hearing that usbradio is not handled well with an RPi and yields less than ideal audio quality. So all of the above implies that I either use a higher performance node PC or continue to use the RPi, switch to the 2400 audio in and out signals (so that the Alinco can handle the CTCSS) and use simpleusb. Opinions? Thanks, Keith KF7DRV

New web Portal
by Angelo 07 May '19

07 May '19

Hi Guys, I remember at one time with the old portal, you could remove a node from a server and turn that node into a server. I have tried to locate this open but I can not find it. Any help would be appreciated, Angelo / N5UXT

DTMF issue on DMR
by kc9mnl＠gmail.com 06 May '19

06 May '19

Hello all, I am running an Allstar node that is linked directly via 2 URIs to a DMR cbridge using an ambe device in the cbridge to en/decode audio. The node has been operating normal but recently I purchased a new radio, an Anytone D878uv. When I transmit DTMF codes, from the D878, to control the node it won't decode it. When I listen to the talkgroup using another radio the DTMF sounds normal. When I use other radios DTMF is decoded properly. Any suggestions?73, Steve KC9MNL Node #27575 Sorry if this is a duplicate post. I'm having trouble with my phone.

Thanks Bryan. <EOL> issue looked fine when it was pasted in, sorry. Another question - is there a way to tell from "within the node" if port forwarding is working, like you can from a browser with canyouseeme.com, https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/, etc. On Tuesday, April 30, 2019, 5:00:26 AM PDT, <app_rpt-users-request(a)lists.allstarlink.org> wrote: Send App_rpt-users mailing list submissions to app_rpt-users(a)lists.allstarlink.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to app_rpt-users-request(a)lists.allstarlink.org You can reach the person managing the list at app_rpt-users-owner(a)lists.allstarlink.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of App_rpt-users digest..."

Re: [App_rpt-users] How to lockout local announcements during activity?
by Duane Fowler 04 May '19

04 May '19

It's not about changing messages, it's about inhibiting crontab'd schedule stored message broadcast on the RF hardware(local) during EL/ASL QSOs. Earlier, we had ASL nodes connected to us and the announcements broadcast on top of the traffic. Duane Sent from Mailspring (https://getmailspring.com/) the best free email app for work
