Difference between Dial and Acid
by John Griffith 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

I’m sure this has been discussed before, but I was unable to find on Google search a simple list of features that Dial will get me over my current Acid setup. Can I get an opinion of whether it’s advantageous to migrate to Dial? N7OKN John Griffith Mesa, AZ

Traveling allstar/echolink Node
by Billy Vance 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

I have built a allstar/echolink Raspberry Pi 3 node that I can travel with and use in hotel rooms with minimal components. I have a Verizon hot spot that I have been able to successfully login to with the RP3 that I can use while traveling so I don't need to utilize the local network. I have a sound card and a headset/mic combination that works well. I would appreciate a little help to get the GPIO configured so I can hook up a momentary contact to trigger the PTT. Equipment list: Verizon WifI Raspberry Pi 3 USB Sound Card Headset/Mic Momentary Contact Switch Thank you in advance, Billy KK6KFV

What to do when your repeater gets keyed and no one comes forward and Identifies.. Today during my qso with another ham this happened and the individual keyed right over me while i was talking of course i was in full duplex with the repeater using IAX rpt so i unkeyed hoping the individual would id no one came forward.. What steps do i need to take and what other actions should I take?? I have already started recording every key down automatically with our system... any thoughts?

Understanding ilink,9 usage
by larry 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

Recently I installed a Dial version on a RPi2 In it includes command to use ilink,9 to send a text message to another node. I am unable to find additional info about ilink,9 and how it works. Could someone give me an explanation if how to utilize it? Also what if anything needs to be pre-configured locally or at the receiving node to use this function. A command syntax example would be nice as I am confused by the comment following the defined DTMF of 809 Rpt.conf defines .... 809 = ilink,9 ; Send Text Message (9,<destnodeno or 0 (for all)>,Message Text, etc. Thanks Larry - N7FM

ACID Crontab

I am having some problems with cron entries running when I am not expecting them to run. This is an ACID distribution and the crontab is set from the root account (crontab -l | crontab -e | etc.). My crontab file looks like (with the questionable lines commented out). The starting comments were taken from a search for CENTOS 5 crontab man page.

DIAL serial console?
by Bryan Fields 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

Would it be possible to get the DIAL install to enable serial console during install and after installation? I run all my systems headless and actually had an issue finding a monitor yesterday to install on a non server hardware lacking IPMI/iLO. Serial would be a nice to have on ttyS0, 115200n8 by default. Thoughts? -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice 727-214-2508 - Fax http://bryanfields.net

Delete the whole tree structure and try the transfer again. It's not really safe to SFTP (or any tenuous-remote copying) over an existing production directory tree. SFTP first to a temp dir, and then login and cp -a Steve
