Echolink on DIAL RC1
by Jim Nessen 06 Sep '17

06 Sep '17

Greetings, Has anyone else noticed that asterisk crashes when connected to an echolink node? I've been trying to get debug info, but have been unsuccessful at doing so. At this point, I am mainly interested if anyone out there has experienced this and has a fix. I have experienced this both on my RPi node at home and a VPS running debian (using Steve's install script). If I am not connected to an echolink node, there is no issue, but once that connection is made, it will restart asterisk (the time between restarts varies) Thanks. Jim, K6JWN

RPi Memory Usage

Is it possible to use the entire MicroSD memory space in the RPi load? It appears I'm only using about 6 GB of 32GB, and I'm not finding fs_resize. Thanks, Bob

portal config with "special" requirements
by George Csahanin 31 Aug '17

31 Aug '17

Using portal config for the first time and found an issue that there must be a work around for: I have two things I need always in rpt.conf, a node number's inside IP address 2360=radio@192.168.1.100:4569/2360,NONE because from inside the AT&T gateway I cannot get to its public address. So for testing now I need to connect with an entry in rpt.conf under [nodes] Also I need a startup macro to connect to a node I edit this in to the file but as soon as I do a portal upload these two things go away. Is there any way for portal config to allow stuff like this? Thanks all... GeorgeC W2DB/2360 -- George Csahanin 10100 Carson Ranch Rd.

RAT_rc1 on Pi3 a no joy
by Bob Pyke 31 Aug '17

31 Aug '17

I can't seem to get past loading DIAL, and changing the password. I found and tried "first time" without success. Tried loading a known good set of config files in /etc/asterisk, without success. Asterisk does not start. Rebooted the Pi3 using a card from another node to see if the Pi3 and URIx are working. Pi3 boots fine, and asterisk runs. Looking for suggestions. Thanks, Bob P.S.Fresh RAT_rc1 download from asterisklink website. Sent from my iPhone

radio-tune-menu problem
by George Csahanin 29 Aug '17

29 Aug '17

Folks, I've searched for solutions with this. But downloaded RAT_RC1.img and put it in a SD card, etc, Pi3, etc. First issue was the nodesetup erroring out and not setting up things like which channel driver and so on, but I manually setup rpt.conf to be simpleusb and the right node number, manually edited modules.conf to enable simpleusb, manually setup simpleusb.conf. Now I have the node where it works. Passes audio but went to setup levels. RX audio to net is too high. I made a file for tune factrors in /etc/asterisk simpleusb_tune_usb_27170.conf : [usb] ; name=usb ; devicenum=0 devstr=3-1 rxmixerset=25 txmixaset=999 txmixbset=999 The txmix settings work, the rx ones don't seem to. Same hardware, other distro and could get the audio right. but... radio-tune-menu won't run: root@repeater:~# radio-tune-menu Error parsing device parameters I'm lost as to where to look. Running on my nodes either limey or ACID. I had another person's image for the Pi but arch linux is a nightmare (and this coming from a 21 year veteran of slackware). Building a node for N5JGX, which I along with W8VT will be admin for. So I downloaded RAT_RC1 figuring I'd stick with the successors, heirs or designee of the founder. But hope someone can give me some direction where to look. If it can't parse device parameters...where do they live?? Thanks All y'all GeorgeC W2DB 2360 -- George Csahanin 10100 Carson Ranch Rd.

ilbc codec source code ?
by Toussaint OTTAVI 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

Hi, I wanted to do some tests with low bandwidth codecs for mobile IAX2 users. I tried to configure iLBC, but the module codec_ilbc.so is not present. Having a look at my Asterisk source folder (/usr/src/astsrc-1.4.23-pre/asterisk/codecs/), there's an "ilbc" sub-folder, but it only contains a Makefile, not the source files. This Asterisk install is rather old, I don't remember how I installed it, and where I got the sources. Where could I find the missing ilbc codec source files ? 73 de TK1BI

Codecs again : g729 ?
by Toussaint OTTAVI 25 Aug '17

25 Aug '17

What about using g729 codec ? It requires a licence for commercial use, but the use for "educational purposes" is allowed ;-) It seems to be the best quality/bandwidth ratio available (8 kbits/s) I had a quick look : Asterisk/app_rpt has a "format g729" but no "codec g729", and the corresponding rows/columns in the translation matrix are empty. Did someone already try to install and use g729 ? 73 de TK1BI
