Recomendeded commands for ajusting the time in my node.

Hi everyone, Newbie on allstar,no linux expert.Trying to follow these recommended commands for adjusting the time in my node. Adjusting the Time Zone By default ACID is configured for the US Pacific time zone. The file /etc/localtime controls which time zone the system thinks it is in. All of the time zone files the rest of the world are located in /usr/share/zoneinfo. To change the time zone, find the time zone file you want to use, and make a soft link to it like this: cd /etc cp localtime localtime.orig ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Victoria localtime You can check to see that the time zone is now correct by using the date command from the shell. Can someone give me a hint on how to do this? All help will be appreciated.Thanks Alberto, node 41355 73s KP4AP > From: app_rpt-users-request(a)ohnosec.org > Subject: App_rpt-users Digest, Vol 69, Issue 5 > To: app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org > Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2014 12:00:01 -0500 > > Send App_rpt-users mailing list submissions to > app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://ohnosec.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > app_rpt-users-request(a)ohnosec.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > app_rpt-users-owner(a)ohnosec.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of App_rpt-users digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1. mooving a tkr 750 frequency (pete M) > 2.

Portanode

I've had this vision of making a portable simplex node that I could take anywhere and use my wifi broadcast feature on my Android phone. I figured a BBB would fit the bill. I'm not totally up in everything available networking wise. Would it make more sense to use something that plugs into the ethernet port of the BBB that would pick up the wifi? Does such a device exist? Or just plug some sort of wifi device into the USB of of the BBB. Thank you

I'd retune the repeater. At least the reciever . That's the easiest. His cans are already tuned. <div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: pete M <petem001(a)hotmail.com> </div><div>Date:11/05/2014 08:48 (GMT-06:00) </div><div>To: APP RPT <app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org> </div><div>Subject: [App_rpt-users] mooving a tkr 750 frequency </div><div> </div>Got a tkr 750 waiting for a spot, and is already tuned to 147.120 + And my friend MSR2000 is failling on him.. So I was wondering if he could use my tkr-750 for his frequency 146.790 - with out having to retune the repeater cause it is temporary but still have fair/good performance out of the tkr750? it is a large difference switching from RX 147.720 to 146.190 (1.530 mhz) but is it that much too large? Thaks for your feedback..

Here is another article that details the construction of a USB radio interface from a SYBA UAUD71 USB sound adapter. This one makes use of Chuck Kelsey's circuit board and an inexpensive plastic case. http://www.repeater-builder.com/voip/voip-index.html Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the SYBA UAUD71 link. (other articles for other devices are also listed) Comments, questions, and constructive criticisms welcomed in private email. Thanks, Kevin Custer - W3KKC

Serial communication
by Skyler Fennell 01 Nov '14

01 Nov '14

I have a pk232 packet TNC and a computer with a serial port. I would like to be able to control the pk232 from my computer used for Allstar via a terminal for serial communication, and eventually might want to integrate the packet stuff with Allstar. Is there a simple centOS program to communicate with serial ( 1200 or 9600 baud, standard protocol etc.)? And yes, my computer has a serial port, not usb to serial. Thanks Skyler KDØWHB

Ok I amsure it has been discussed before.. but google is not my friend tonight.. So I got that private node at a fix ip on the net.the port it run on is 4570 (4569 was not available cause of an asterisk pbx on the smae network) the node number is 1100 I know I have to add this to the node stanza in rpt.conf 1100 = radio@ipadressofthenode:4570/1100,NONE But do I have to add something else somewhere? I was under the impression I had to add something in extension.conf? Thanks for the help ve2pf

Beagle bone black and timedatectl
by Mike Lussier 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Good afternoon to all. I have posted on this issue before. I have and off site repeater with no internet access atleast until spring time, Hopefully... My allstar node time is way off. so I try to correct it. The outcome is a lock up condition. The repeater no longer responses. The only fix appears to be a reboot. This only brings me back to square one. The time is way off again. Is there something else to do once I reset the time short of a reboot to bring the system up on line ? is there a way to reset the system and use the new time stamp ? Seriously contemplating an NTP server at the site. I just don’t have the time to put into one right now. I have the new 1.2 code. I'm not ready to deploy this to either of the repeaters just yet. command issued this morning that caused the trouble. tmedatectl " 2014-10-27 11:35:00" Thank you Mike AE4ML -- *"We must reject the idea that every time a law is broken, society is guilty rather than the law breaker.It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions." ~ Ronald Regan*
