Greetings, I have been working on the node the past couple of days. Here is my problems. 1. The incoming echolink audio is fine the repeater audio is fine. But the incoming asterisk connects are low. Can I adjust that? 2. When an iaxrpt user connects. I can not get the caller id out for that person. I have ,made everyone there own sign in. It is easier on me. Is there a way I can fix this? 3. I have voicemail working ont he repeater. You can access it from RF. But I can not get it to the point where they can check there mail. I can not get login to voiccemailmain to work right. Can I get help on this also? 73 Ryan KB8PMY

Sorry about the stuff up with the forwarded message... Yeah, I never used Virtual PC, by that time I had gone over to Linux on the PC side of things, and when I got an Intel 2006 model Macbook, it rendered the point moot. I used Parallels, then VMWare on the Macbook. But as I said, I do remember a friend using Virtual PC to run Windows 98 on a G3 iMac - terribly slow if I remember correctly, but it did run. Of course, as with any virtualisation, you'll want to max out your RAM first, just in case. VMs love RAM for breakfast.

Don't you mean Windows NT 3.51? And there might be options for those enlightened enough to be running something other than the normal Windows client software. If I'm not mistaken, doesn't SvxLink use Speex between svxlink servers and/or Qtel client and svxlink servers?

Re: [App_rpt-users] CTCSS decode
by Don Hackler 13 Mar '13

You don't need the tones brought out separate from the RX audio. As long as you can feed the discriminator audio to the RTCM, it will decode CTCSS tones using the built-in DSP. If you don't have access to the discriminator audio, you will need a COR logic output from the radio.

OK, a clarification I received from Echolink is this: There are three callsigns that must not be blocked in the asterisk config: permit=k1rfd, k1rfd-l, k1rdf-r, vk2jtp, vk2jtp-l, vk2jtp-r, w1cdm, w1cdm-l, w1cdm-r If you're restricting access, as I am as well, the above needs to be there, according to the echolink folks as of this AM. I guess my permitting only a few thru made them think I was still running TBD..?? All's resolved now But this set of callsigns may be something the gang needs to keep in mind. And everybody gets to live happily ever after.
