Active X and IE 11
by Te Bussell 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Please, does anyone have a solution to the unsigned Active X that will not work with the web transceiver and IE 11? I cannot make it work, but it did work in the past prior to a Microsoft security update. I supported an aerospace product that had a similar issue. The Active X was signed, and that solved most of the problem. Cheers and 73 KB9WKR Bill Sent from my iPad

AllstarLink Financial Donation
by Marshall Oldham 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Greetings fellow Allstarlink members, Once again I am reposting this email which is very similar to last year with the hopes that we as the amateur community can step forward and support our hobby, mainly the app_rpt and Allstarlink technology that we all enjoy today. As many of you that are new to app_rpt you might NOT know. The creator of app_rpt and the Allstarlink network has never charged or asked for financial support to keep the system going for the use in amateur radio. He has never charged users money to be a part of app_rpt or for use of the network, nor has he ever made any profit off of specific hardware sales for the Allstarlink network. Through the years he has put in a great deal of time and dedication along with his exceptional talents to make app_rpt and the Allstarlink network the great VOIP technology that it has become today. No other VOIP technology in the amateur radio community can even compare to the technology, features and capability that is offered for free to anyone wishing to setup a node. Another understated fact is that there are monthly costs associated with keeping things running smoothly for the system. These costs are for server collocation, domain certifications and so on, amounting to roughly $175 per month. Jim has been paying these monthly fees from donations, but mostly out of his own pocket. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all pitch in and help him to at the least cover these monthly costs for this coming year? I am proposing that we all donate to this cause via PayPal at the following URL. https://allstarlink.org/ At the top of this webpage just slightly down there is a PayPal donate button. In the spirit and season of giving, lets all try and help out with the financial side, so we can continue to use and enjoy this great technology that we have all come to know and love! I would also like to thank Jim, WB6NIL for all the many hours of work and support that he and others have donated to this hobby so that the amateur community at large can benefit and enjoy the use of his technology on a daily basis for free. 73 Marshall - ke6pcv Node 2065, 2066, 29147, 29148, 29149, 29947, 29948, 29949

USB Adapter has no EEPROM installed
by Larry da Ponte 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Two questions for the group: #1 I'm seeing this in my /var/log/asterisk - I'm using a DMK URI with EEPROM and a Motorola GM300 with one of Marshall's Motorola Maxtrac, GM300 and M120 16 Pin Radio to URI cables. [Nov 1 11:30:05] NOTICE[6852] chan_usbradio.c: USB Adapter has no EEPROM installed or Checksum BAD on channel usb42372 I understand that the benefit of the DMK URI with EEPROM is that the interface configuration can be stored in the URI as apposed to (where else?) - is this URI EEPROM feature taken advantage of with app_rpt and associated drivers? #2 How do I choose which channel driver to use - simpleusb or USBRadio? >From what I've been able to learn through varius wikis and posts on the subject, I would want to use simpleusb because all of the hardware connections for COS and CTCSS are provided so there is no reason to use the DSP features of USBRadio thus simplifying what the driver has to do and perhaps lowering the CPU utilization. I've also read some posts that describe audio degredation in the USBRadio driver but I can't tell you the cause. I expect the right answer here is for me to try out both and experiment - which I will do but would appreciate any wisdome from the group on their experience with these drivers when using the DMK URI and hardware connections for COS/CTCSS. My current configuration below is getting favorable audio reports. I have no simpleusb.conf in my /etc/asterisk I have usbradio.conf and usbradio_tune_usb42372.conf I have the following in my rpt.conf: rxchannel=Radio/usb42372 I have the following in my usbradio.conf: [usb42372] hdwtype=0 rxboost=1 txboost=1 rxctcssrelax=1 txctcssdefault=71.9 rxctcssfreqs=71.9 txctcssfreqs=71.9 ;rxctcssoverride=0 carrierfrom=dsp ctcssfrom=dsp rxdemod=flat txprelim=yes txlimonly=no txtoctype=notone txmixa=composite txmixb=no invertptt=0 duplex=0 rxondelay=0 rxnoisefiltype=0 eeprom=1

PCI-X USB card.
by Scott Weis 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Hi all, I have a dell 1950 I would like to deploy at a remote site where the remote access card could come in handy due to limited physical access. I have been using VIA based PCI cards in previous deployments and the work fine, however the 1950 is PCI-X only. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which card works with DIAL or acid, before I go and randomly pick one. Thanks, Scott KB2EAR

DIAL distribution : a few questions
by Toussaint OTTAVI 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Hi, After my first attempts with manual compilation on a Cubox (ARM7), I saw the new DIAL distribution, and I installed it on a RPi2. Thank you, Steve, for the great work :-) The choice of a Debian base, and the choice of the targets (rpi2 and i386) are exactly what I need :-) Now, a few questions : 1/ I saw a 'warning' about upgrading the kernel on ARM7 platforms, because it's not fully supported by Debian. Can we safely do an "apt-get upgrade", or should we make a sdcard backup before ? 2/ Are the Asterisk and app_rpt sources included ? If so, where ? 3/ How will the future app_rpt updates made available ?

Diagnostic and tuning tools ?
by Toussaint OTTAVI 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Hi again, Doing my first experiments with an USB sound card and usbradio module, I was wondering about available tools for diagnostic and tuning. I saw the "radio tune xxxx" commands, but they seem very basic to me : - For the inputs, I'd like something more "visual", some kind of "vu-meter" (such as the output of "arecord -V mono >null") - For the outputs, I'd like to be able to generate sine waves with variable amplitude Did I miss something ? Are there any useful third-party tools that can be used for troubleshooting and tuning ? Is it possible to use generic alsa tools simultaneously with usbradio module ? For example, "arecord -V mono >null" (which displays a bargraph of the audio input) does not want to run when Asterisk is running, and usbradio module is attached to the soundcard. Also, is there a way, in Asterisk, to display the level of every extension with a vu-meter or %-level view, in real-time ? In case of a node receiving several audio flows (remote repeater, echolink, remote user with iax client, etc...), the idea is to "visualize" all the audio levels, so that we can see if there are differences or not. Thank you in advance for your answers. I apologize in advance if some of them are obvious :-) 73 de TK1BI

I'm seeing the following line occurring: WARNING[675] acl.c: is not a valid IP Any suggestions as to where I should look to resolve this? On a side note, since moving from ACID to DIAL, I am not seeing my Echolink node being active on the echolink.org site. Have set the system.conf file echolinkenable=1 echolink.conf file seems to be OK. 73, Dave N N0KM --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
