RTCM servcer question
by stephen gebhard 11 Aug '13

11 Aug '13

Hello group. I have a local RTCM server running 3 thin clients along with a URI node, all working great except for one thing, I cannot connect the thin clients together. In the nodes stanza of rpt.conf I have the node numbers listed with the loopback address as I thought they should be, but when I try connecting them together I get the auto-congest slow response error, which tells me it cannot find the node. Is this correct to set the RTCM node numbers to the loopback address? Should I be entering something else there or comment out?

Is there a numerical limit to the [macro] stanza? 1-9 work just fine for me, but 10 and higher do not work. Thanks, Corey

RTCM simulcast help
by Michael Hebert 11 Aug '13

11 Aug '13

All, I am trying to enable simulcast on my system. I have gone into the voter.conf and added the "transmit" statement. The 2nd repeater is not transmitting. I am using menu 98 and do not see the "PTT : 0" changing to 1 or the red TX indicator lighting up I have done a astres.sh and rebooted both RTCMs *Here is my voter.conf* [general] port = 667 buflen = 120 password = xxx [28304] KD5DFB_main=xxx,transmit,master KD5DFB_site1=xxx,transmit *Here is my menu 98 on the RTCM * GPS Lock: 1 Connected: 1 COR: 1 EXT CTCSS IN: 0 PTT: 0 RSSI: 255 Current Samples / Sec.: 8000 Current Peak Audio Level: 1496 Squelch Noise Gain Value: 21, Diode Cal.

Building a simulcast system
by Bob - AF6D 11 Aug '13

11 Aug '13

I have finally secured all three locations for our repeaters and now it's time to deploy Allstar. I want each repeater (MSF 5000) to first have an Arcom RC-210 to which the Allstar interface is applied to port 1 or even the auxiliary port. The RC-210 has many valuable features and is generally feature-rich. I am old that this cannot be done especially when simulcasting; could someone explain why not so that my mind will drop it? Thank you. We primarily want the RC-210 so that we may RF link each site. In the event of an earthquake down goes all links. Otherwise, what is my shopping list? Thank you for your patience with me.

New RTCM Firmware and Docs
by Tim Sawyer 11 Aug '13

11 Aug '13

Jim has posted RTCM version 1.26 to svn. It allows a lower minimum TX buffer length of 480 (60ms). We ran the min setting on a 20 mile Ubiquiti hop and it worked fine. http://svn.ohnosec.org/viewvc/projects/allstar/voter/?root=svn I've posted a procedure to determine RTCM and chan_voter buffer size using voter ping. http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/195 -- Tim WD6AWP :wq

Re: [App_rpt-users] Cop 58 Command questions

With cop 58 enabled, am I to assume any receive path to the transmitter will enable the CTCSS encoder as long as the receive path is active?

Has anyone interfaced a GPSDO (GPS-discliplined Oscillator), such as Trimble Thunderbolt to a Kenwood TKR-820? Where is a good place to find the Trimble Thunderbolt? Ebay? Mike - KD5DFB

Limey & SVN - Problem!
by James Hill 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

Hi Guys, I've just updated my Limey node to the latest SVN - now I have a problem! There was the simpleusb problem initially which Jim managed to fix, but now I have a situation whereby the node will not respond to, or even read DTMF commands. Everything else appears to be working fine (incoming connects etc and CT/Ident). I thought it may have been a hardware COR issue, but the node responds with an ack when I de key. Disconnect the COR line, it stays quiet. Tailing /var/log/asterisk messages shows all of the normal happenings, but nothing coming up when DTMF is sent. I thought I had all of my conf files backed up to the extra partition on the CF card - but when I came to copy them across after the update they were not there (that will teach me to check next time!), so I have had to download the config from the server, and customise according to scribbled notes I have "filed". Is there anything within the .conf files I ought to double check that would cause this? Or is there a deeper problem? Cheers, James 29681
