remote base question
by George Csahanin 20 Apr '19

20 Apr '19

I just resurrected my remote base allstar PC, hooked it to my FT-857(same commands as FT897) and I can connect to it, I can control it, read frequencies, etc. But what doesn't work is COS from the remote base radio to indicate signal. The client's repeater stays keyed. Until I send "#" to disconnect the remote command. Maybe I just don't remember right but I recall the remote acting on COS. I have modified the FT-857 to have Micom-like squelch which would make the remote really neat on hf where the users's repeater would not be keyed continuously. Am I remembering incorrectly or is something wrong here? And if it doesn't detect COS from the remote base radio can that be added. I have a great voice detection board I made up for the FT-897/857.

NON- C-media Sound card and Pi GPIO
by Skyler F 16 Apr '19

16 Apr '19

Is there any possibility in the foreseeable feature to use any ALSA ( or pulse audio) compatible sound card and the Pi GPIO pins (or anything else) for PTT/COR LOGIC? I would love to get away from being stuck to C-Media chips! How hard is it to add compatibility. Many other ham programs such as Direwolf Packet TNC use Alsa and several different PTT options and support any sound card that normally works on linux. skyler

Hey guys, looking at the source I see chan_pi...what is it. I knew at one time but my aging grey matter can't find it. Reply off list if desired GeorgeC W2DB Allstar nodes 2360, 2428, 28599, 49089 -- George Csahanin 10100 Carson Ranch Rd. Crowley, TX 76036 682-708-5716 home 401-338-0568 cel

Re: [App_rpt-users] App_rpt-users Digest, Vol 122, Issue 7
by George Csahanin 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

I figured from looking at the source code that is what it does but cannot figure if it is useful or not. No docs found except the source contains a line something like it being able to work the DMK Engineering PiTA board. Can't find any docs on that either. But if it can manipulate the Pi GPIO pins instead of using the CM108/119 pins it would be great...

Zopier
by TGundo 2003 07 Apr '19

07 Apr '19

Morning all! I'm trying to setup Zopier to use my iOS devices with my allstar node. I use iaxrpt with much success on Windows. I was able to get the Zopier configured to successfully register, but how do you actually "use" it to connect, be able to transmit, etc? Seems litl you have to dial something to make it "call"? Any help is appreciated!Thanks! TomW9SRV

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

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

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

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

Drupal Site info
by Mike 30 Mar '19

30 Mar '19

If anyone knows who and where the app_rpt-drupal site contact info person is, so that I might capture ,save and display that app_rpt info till it can be captured in the allstar wiki, please let me know. This would be a tremendous loss if it were to disappear as it seems to have done. It contains some of the only documentation that exists for some functions. ...mike/kb8jnm
