Allstars Link
by Ed Harwood 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Hello to the list. My name is Ed Harwood (W5CVE). I'm learning Linux as I go and I just got a Raspberry PI 2 this week. It came with a SD chip that had NOOBS installed. From noobs I installed Raspbian. Well noobs was removed during the install. I downloaded the rpi2_dial.img from the Allstar Link page so that I can setup an Allstars node. Now I don't know how to install that file. Can somebody help me out and provide some answers? Thank you so much in advance. Ed Harwood, W5CVE Sent from my iPhone

remote receivers questions
by Steve Wright 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Greetings! For remote receivers, is there any work being done on using RTL SDR rtl_fm multiple-instances on one dongle, as multiple app_rpt IP connected receivers? I ask, because it seems that a remote (RX only) site can host as many receivers as I can shoe-horn in the box, and as many as I can add solar-panels to feed. It also seems, that I may as well host neighboring areas' remote receivers, and they host mine - for even larger coverage. It just seems a stack of ten GM300s in there is the hard way, and it's a lot of current draw too. Any other ideas?

Re: [App_rpt-users] Acid install by USB

DIAL will support the card. I did not come up with a user friendly way to configure it. I will work more when I have time.

Nobody seems to want to modify it for that and its now obsolete. So I suggest the DIAL distro which can be burned to a usb stick. I dont know if it has the drivers for your wireless nic though. Might have to deal with that afterwards. Try it and see if it works. By the way when you burn the usb stick, do a direct image burn or "DD" with Rufus.

RTCM packet out of bounds by: -1
by Jesse Lloyd 03 Mar '16

03 Mar '16

Hi All, Looking back through the app_rpt archives I came across this unanswered topic from Fredric Moses: Hello, I currently have 4 RTCM's running for a few years now on a UHF system just fine... I want to start doing the same to a VHF repeater that I have taken over.. I created a second port in the voter.conf and attached a new RTCM to that port and it worked for a bout a week now.. There was a crew at the site doing work and a power cycle happend on the gear and now the single VHF RTCM is spitting out the following.. 12/04/2014 23:59:15.160 Inbound (Eth Rx) packet out of bounds by: -1 All the UHF RTCM's are connected fine and passing traffic.. The server shows the VHF connected and it is receving audio/cor just fine but no TX audio. If i pull the ethernet plug from the vhf it goes into failover mode and local repeats just fine... But with the ethernet plugged in i get no TX audio and the console on the RTCM fills with the above messages... -- Fredric Moses - W8FSM - WQOG498fred at moses.bz <http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users> I too am having a similar issue. When I arrived on site the host LED would be solid until traffic on the network. From there it would flash repeatedly, Tx Audio & PTT would be up and down, and I would see the Inbound (Eth Rx) packet out of bounds by: -1 error in the RTCM. For me when I added a dumb switch between the RTCM and the Cisco switch (which is set to 10 half) it started to work fine. I'm using 250ms of buffering and it's only a 15ms hop to the server, with very little jitter. I've also noticed I'm getting a large number of packet errors on the various switches that all my RTCM's are plugged into. It doesn't seem to matter if I run the RTCM's in 10 half or 10 Full I get packet errors and collisions on the ports. My hunch is that there is something wrong with the duplex setting in the RTCM firmware, has anyone done any testing to see if there are port errors on the switches that their RTCM's are plugged into? The other thing that I was wondering is if a poor quality GPS signal would cause this error. The antenna has a very good path to 3/4's of the sky, but I have a large building blocking one direction. Not sure if the maybe the GPS accuracy is dropping to say 100 meters or is getting some multi-path off the building and is effecting the timing? I'm using a Trimble Thunderbolt E. I never seem to loose the GPS LED or get any debug info about dropping the GPS location. Any help would be great, I'm grasping at straws a little. Thanks, Jesse

Re: [App_rpt-users] URI active low?

Being pulled low enough is kind of what I was thinking and wondering if others have had that issue. Its really the only thing that makes any sense to me in terms of what I am experiencing. A little digging shows this solution, which I will try this weekend once I dig out my parts. http://dmkeng.com/images/HIGH_CURRENT_PTT.pdf >I seem to recall some people having issues with the PTT output not being >pulled low enough, you might try searching the list archives for a similar >situation.

URI active low?
by Steve 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

I am having some problems getting PTT action on a repeater I am converting from IRLP to Allstar. The DMK-URI is interfaced to the secondary port of a CAT-1000 controller. And the controllers second port is configured as active low. There is a 10k pull-up resistor on the CAT controller's COR#2 line. URI DMK-URI CAT-1000 CAT-1000 Pin 1 PTT Pin 5 COR #2 Pin 7 CTCSS DET Pin 9 PTT #2 Pin 8 COR DET Pin 20 GND Pin 17 GND Pin 21 MIC IN AC Pin 23 TX AUDIO #2 Pin 22 LEFT OUT Pin 12 Rx AUDIO #2 And I am using these settings: eeprom=0 hdwtype=0 rxboost=0 carrierfrom=usbinvert ctcssfrom=no txmixa=voice txmixb=no invertptt=0 duplex=1 plfilter=no deemphasis=no preemphasis=no rxaudiodelay=0 Running asterisk -r shows that its supposed to be playing the time (etc), but it never keys. Suggestions welcome. Thanks

RxCTCSSfreqs / EchoLink
by Steve Mahler 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

Does anyone have information on ... 1) In rpt.conf, setting variable rxctcssfreqs, where is the table of valid RX tones? 2) In rpt.conf, setting variables [tr]xctcssfreqs, is there a limit to the number of tones added to the list? 3) Can the EchoLink section be configured to say ... W9YB Connected ... but NOT say ... to node 41111? ...STeve KF5VH
