Re: [App_rpt-users] KC6HUR/IRLP Weather scripts

Hi Don, I have been busy with work and had my allstar node system die. I am in the process of bringing up the node with new hardware. There are quite a number of things to do regarding all the scripts. I have modified the scripts to include most of the functionality and cleaned up where the directories are pointed and also included a new log area for the weather script logs. I should get something together this week for the group here. I also want to put together some basic documents for the allstar port. Glad you got it working, you may want to change over to the new port when I get this completed. Sorry for the delay.

Phone Patch
by Bob - AF6D 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

I am working on building a 2 node voted simulcast system using two Motorola MSF 5000's. Part of the intended use is public safety. I have an actual Motorola phone patch for the MSF. Could it be accessed from either node including planned future nodes, or would an audio delay be an issue? I own the internet company that will be providing low latency premium bandwidth. My average ping to the data center is only 29ms and the MSF with the patch is on the network. // Bob - K6ECS

phone_functions ignored
by Don Russell 25 Feb '13

dialing in to repeater via sip in phone mode.. getting in ok. called the repeater function with rpt,2090|P for standard phone mode. it is using *9 for ptt and # for drop no functions as defined in my functions file which is pointed to in phone_functions. [2090] functions=functions2090 phone_functions=functions2090 link_functions=functions2090 [functions2090] 99=cop,6 98=cop,24 ...blah blah blah this is what I want.... *9 yields PTT Any idea whats up with this one? -- Don Russell, CBRE CBNT W9DRR - ARRL OES, Technical Specialist http://www.socialengineer.us

fighting echo within the soundcard.
by Don Russell 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

I am building a new node from scratch. atom pc, uri-x, 2 SM50's.. nothing fancy. I am getting a 1/2 second echo, like you have another radio on in the room. I did the normal tuneup. got these parameters. rxmixerset=125 txmixaset=400 txmixbset=0 rxvoiceadj=2.725307 rxctcssadj=4.019996 txctcssadj=300 rxsquelchadj=850 I tried with/without the rxboost. no change. I have battled this in the past and I just don't remember what the fix was. It's been a 2 years since I have had a node up. trying to get back in the swing of things again. I did bring up alsamixer, the card looks good, mic is not in playback mix. -- Don Russell, CBRE CBNT W9DRR - ARRL OES, Technical Specialist http://www.socialengineer.us

by Bradley Haney 24 Feb '13

24 Feb '13

HELLO ALL.. I THINK I HAVE MY RTCM somewhat working. except i can 't get the courtesy beep to work. Also for some reason it will key up the repeater even with out a CTCSS. I have tried inverted non inverted and ignore on the rtcm set up but not sure what I am missing. Any thoughts? Thanks Bradley

Documenting my GM300 to Beagle/LOX setup
by Alan Adamson 23 Feb '13

23 Feb '13

Just in case someone else decides to try this. reference this. http://www.repeater-builder.com/motorola/maxtrac/gm300-info.html a) on the GM300, leave JU551 set to the default (de-emphasized not FLAT) position B b) also make sure that JU701 is set to the default position A or else you won't encode PL on TX Beyond that, I used beagle tune to set the levels, and the portal to give me a basic node setup. I did play a little with the wait-times in rpt.conf. settled with these for a simplex node. [wait-times] telemwait=1200 idwait=500 unkeywait=300 calltermwait=1500 I did use cables from Marshall and he includes an rj45 with the wire to jumper so that with no mic connected it's onhook so that PL functions correctly. I was lucky enough to have 2 real live GM300 D04 radios (1-10watt versions with 439-450 coverage), I plugged in 446.000 with a pl on tx/rx and didn't have to touch much else. RX sensitivity was -122db on radio and -120 on the other. good enough for what I'm looking for - personal simplex nodes. if you get cables from Marshall make sure you follow his instructions and pin 8 on the back of the radio needs to be set to show both CARRIER *AND* PL. The Beagle.conf looks like the following [YOURNODENUMBER] carrierfrom=hwinvert ctcssfrom=no invertptt=0 duplex=0 rxondelay=0 That's it. if doing a simplex node, and using the portal to generate your starting setup, make sure you select all the right things for the node radio interface - beagle, then the other items below it, specifically the duplex= Hope this helps for the next person. Note, I tried JU551 on the beagle and in FLAT mode it just sounded tinny - probably would work great in a sideband contest, but with it in the default position, the audio across the network sounded much more *natural*, the way it should. NOTE, this may be an artifact of the Beagle, none of the normal usb setup values are support in chan_beagle.c, etc. And lastly thanks to everyone who offered their nodes to me. it was a huge help. With my main allstar server on the same network as my 2 new nodes, while I could get the big allstar server to see both separately but using separate ports, I couldn't connect one to the other. So having a node out in the networks. Solved the problem. Alan

Fun with Limey and HP T5710 so far
by Tony KT9AC 23 Feb '13

23 Feb '13

Here are some notes from my first attempt to get Limey up and running on a T5710 Thin Client (1.2Ghz Transmeta Efferon, 512MB flash chip board (not drive) and 512MB ram - PM705AA model). It's not as easy as the Drupal page would lead one to believe...Limey is actually ArchLinux and not CentOS like the ACID install is, so a lot of expected stuff doesn't work. I'm comfortable with Linux and willing to work through this, and perhaps a small group could write up their experiences with this tier of hardware on the Drupal site. Notes:Downloaded PenDrive and Ubuntu server ISO to make a bootable 4GB USB drive (this allowed persistent storage of the cfimg files under the /cdrom/doc folder).Booted into USB Rescue and ran fdisk to delete two Windows partitions off of 512MB flash.Ran the "dd if=cfimg-1.1.5 of=/dev/sdb" and wrote out 128MB image just fine.Rebooted 5710 and it stuck at "USB Hub detected". Inserted above USB drive and it proceeded to a login prompt. It does not see the URI at this point. Tried the 1.1.4 and 1.1.5 version for VIA here. Tried the i686-1.1.5 version and it didn't even get this far.No "This is your first time..." script ran like the Drupal page says. No eth0 came up either.Found out Limey is actually "Archlinux" and found the commands to get on the internet.Ran "ip link set <ip> dev eth0 up" and "ip addr add <ip/netmask/> dev eth0"Was able to ping my default gateway and then edit /etc/resolv.conf to add "nameserver 8.8.8.8".How does one save changes back to the flash? The "svcfg" doesn't seem to exist...Once on the network, I switched to /usr/src and ran "getsrc" which downloaded Asterisk. I tried to do a "configure" but that failed. Read the README and did a usbradio_install but that also failed.This is a *really* stripped down version of Linux that uses 128MB of memory after installed. I am comfortable around Linux and CentOS and realize Limey isn't a beginner's O/S, one that I'm willing to work through.I might buy an 8GB USB drive and use that with a regular ACID install to get more functionality as a try of Ubuntu Server didn't have enough disk for an install (it did find all the devices just fine under Rescue mode since it's a newer distro), or perhaps CentOS 6.3 and roll my own compile of Allstar. Comments/suggestions are welcome!Thanks,Tony
