Registration issue?

Just checking as I am having registration issues once again. This happened about a year ago and it cleared up. If I do the following, I notice that I am getting rejected.

Send 3khz tone
by Skyler F 31 Aug '14

31 Aug '14

HI, I want to do some testing with a service moniter on TX by sending a 3khz tone. The problem about the one on the radio tune menu is that they are too short pulses. Is there anything a bit slower/longer tone that I could use like a sound file or something? Thanks, 73, Skyler , KDØWHB -- Skyler Fennell amsatnet.info KDØWHB electricity440(a)gmail.com

audio level
by Ken 30 Aug '14

30 Aug '14

"When I set my repeater up I used the automated method with a calibrated service monitor. I noticed it called for 3 kHz of audio. Finally got the repeater on the air and the audio is a little soft compared what I'm used to. I know I can adjust it but I assume this is done for a reason to keep all of the repeaters sounding close to each other. Any thoughts?" The calibration routine gives you a test audio level that corresponds to 3 kHz deviation. Full scale deviation will be 5 kHz. The lower level is used (I imagine) to avoid running up against any limiter effect during that calibration step. If you really need more deviation then adjust for more than 3 at that step in the procedure. Of course, then you will get more than 5 on peaks. This is the case when you are feeding the audio right into the modulator stage. If you are using "mic audio" then the limiter built into in your transmit radio will be affecting the deviation of the transmitted audio. You need to find and adjust that. Or inject the audio in a different place where the radio's limiter does not take effect. 73/GL Ken KE2N

The diode rectifies the noise to produce the RSSI. Obviously it’s important that all RTCM’s report accurate RSSI for voting. -- Tim WD6AWP > On Aug 29, 2014, at 2:56 PM, Tom Caspar <tom.caspar(a)cpcomms.com> wrote: > > Ah.

Telemetry question
by Corey Dean 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

A while back someone posted this is an email but I can't find it... There was a setting in the rpt.conf file that would allow local telemetry only. Basically I want to hear all the local connects and disconnects but I do not wish to hear all the remote ones. I had this setup on my portable node, but have since wiped the system. It was the only system I did not have a backup off.. It was two different settings I had to use. Could someone please post those setting again. Corey N3FE

I read that too. I have always setup 4 kHz voice and 750 on PL tones. > > When I set my repeater up I used the automated method with a calibrated > service monitor.

RTCM questions
by Tom Caspar 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

I've been playing with a few RTCM's for a couple weeks now, getting a feel for the system, and looking to use them in a voting setup. I have a couple questions hopefully someone may be able to assist with. I'm currently running 1 node with 3 voted receives on an old core2 duo machine I had sitting around. For my target application I'm looking at setting up 8 nodes each with 5 voted receives and trying to get a feel for if the computer I'm using will still be adequate. Second, is a small anomaly I've come across but have yet to be able to repeatedly duplicate. A user keys up, I'll see the receiver selected with full strength when monitoring asterisk but no one hears the transmission. So far only once I've had this happen while in view of the RTCM and transmitter, the red TX led was lit on the RTCM, but my transmitter wasn't being keyed. I don't know if audio was present on the audio output. Is there anything that could cause the TX led to light but the PTT output to not pull low? Is there any debug info I should be watching that might help in tracking this down? Third, what is the diode calibration? I've searched extensively for what its affect is and the exact procedure for doing it, but come up with nothing other than turning SW2-3 on will perform the diode calibration. Is the only requirement that the RTCM is powered up? Lastly, I was hoping to also be able to use this with some DMR radios running in analog. Unfortunately the raw rx audio coming out of the radio rolls off a 4khz, and does not seem to have enough high frequency noise content for the voting to work correctly. Has anyone successfully been able to do this? Thanks, Tom Caspar
