Scott we are talking Saturday correct... Field day starts at 2p on Sat if I remember right... this from the arrl site " Field Day is always the fourth full weekend of June, beginning at 1800 UTC Saturday and running through 2059 UTC Sunday. Field Day 2012 will be held June 23-24, 2012." so doing it at 1600 eastern would be a good time I think that would be 2 hours after the start if everyone remembers... maybe it makes sense to connect earlier that the 2p eastern start? Just kicking it around. As to the WINS or the WAN-RS, they do have a bunch of connections, but I'm thinking... like a 100 or more :).... Course I don't know how wide of a net this list covers for node owners... :) Just thinking out loud.

I'd love to see how many connections it can handle without crashing. It's a fairly hefty server with a BIG pipe to the internet. I guess we should pick a time for all to connect.

Just curious - Field day related
by Alan Adamson 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

So the whole purpose of Field day, besides having fun, is to test out emergency preparedness, etc. Anyone thought of a huge allstar link up? Yes I know it doesn't count for anything point wise, but it would be fun, test the *system* and I'm sure could create for some colorful after discussions :). Just curious if it's been discussed, if anyone is up for it, etc. Alan

Alternate port to 4569
by (KP4TR)Ramon Gonzalez 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

Hello, This may be a simple question. In iax.conf, it indicates the default UDP port to bind to (4569). Is it possible to use an alternate port other than 4569 and make change here? In some other post they mention to change configuration on allstar server network settings, but I don't believe that has anything to do other than to download that configuration to the server if requested by me. I know port forwarding needs to change in router and asterisk restarted. Thanks.

Stephen, Glad to see you're bringing your node back online!

Server/Node Relation RTCM
by Jim W7RY 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

I’m still not clear on the server/node relationship. I’m going to get my RTCM set up and working, but I have a question. The RTCM needs to be pointed to a SERVER correct? So, I can point the RTCM “node” (it’s not really considered a node is it)? to one of the servers that I already have a node set up on? Or do I need to set up another server to support the RTCM? If it’s on the same server as another node, how do you manage multiple nodes on one server? I just signed up for a DNS on no-ip.com so I think I have that set up.... But I need to figure how to set that info into the node server that I’m going to use to “host” the RTCM. Thanks in advance for the help! 73 Jim W7RY

allstar-sys context
by Stephen - K1LNX 20 Jun '12

I'm slowly bringing my Allstar node back online (hopefully it will work in ESXI, crossing fingers! So far so good) and I noticed a few new contexts in extensions.conf and iax.conf that wasn't there in the past. It looks like the allstar-public context is used for the web transceiver portal which I don't plan on using, but I don't quite understand the allstar-sys context. Has this changed from the past? I've always just used radio-secure which contains the following (don't think this is different from the default): extensions.conf: [radio-secure] exten => ${NODE},1,rpt,${NODE} And in my IAX.conf I just pass the incoming calls to this context: [radio] type=user disallow=all allow=ulaw allow=gsm codecpriority=host context=radio-secure transfer=no I build my own configs so I don't rely on the portal generating the configs for me, as I have a lot of custom dialplan code in extensions.conf. I'm still running diff's against my old files so I may undoubtedly uncover some more "new" stuff ;) 73 Stephen K1LNX

RTCM CTCSS Output Tone
by Jim W7RY 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Just received my RTCM! Whoo Hoo! Have a question though. The PL tone output is also the transmit audio output. With my USB fob, I used both channels of the TX out, one for PL and one for audio. This worked perfectly for a Motorola Mitrek. Now I will be using a GP300 or P110 for a transmitter and would really like to separate the PL tone output from the audio output. What have others done? Will a 16 pin GM300 take PL into the microphone input? Or are you running the RTCM transmit audio into the flat audio input of the radio? Does the radio provide deviation limiting with this setup? I don’t think it does. Thanks! 73 Jim W7RY

xipar and echolink...
by Bradley Haney 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hello all .. got a simplex node rolling on 28295 using the xipar flavor.. I put everything into the echolink.conf and try to connect to echotest or anyone it just says connection fail.. I have ports 5198-5200 open to my ip address.. When i do try to connect to an echolink station it does repeat back the node call sign so i know i connected to the database but seems something isn't right.. for servers i am using naeast.echolink.org nawest.echolink.org backup.echolink.org... this one always fails.. Any thoughts.. echolink node is under kc9gqr-L Thanks BRadley

Re: [App_rpt-users] RTCM CTCSS Output Tone
by Alan Adamson 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

I sent this direct and then realized maybe I'd get educated if I sent it to the list. I didn't think the RTCM did CTCSS *decode*, the instructions suggest that it does squelch, but the setup there says to set it high so it doesn't false, to get CTCSS, you would need to get it externally and attach it to the CTCSS pin? Or am I missing something… I can't find any settings for the voter.conf or the RTCM setup to tell it which PL to decode for example? So I'm thinking it goes not do decode…. Allstar however does to encode if applying the audio to the modulator directly… Alan From: Jim W7RY [mailto:w7ry@centurytel.net] Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 3:20 PM To: Alan Adamson Cc: app_rpt-users(a)ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] RTCM CTCSS Output Tone Alan... You miss understand... I WANT the RTCM to generate my PL so I can use chicken burst on my non Motorola branded radios. I DON’T like squelch bursts Smile! As for your COS issue... Don’t use COS. Let the RTCM handle it. Just put discriminator audio into the RTCM. Also let the RTCM decode your PL tone too. It it’s as good as the URI, you have no worries! My plan is to us a pair of GP-300s (P110s) to make a repeater using the RTCM as a repeater controller. 73 Jim W7RY From: Alan Adamson <mailto:adamson_alan@hotmail.com> Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 12:07 PM To: 'Jim W7RY' <mailto:w7ry@centurytel.net> Subject: RE: [App_rpt-users] RTCM CTCSS Output Tone Jim, when you get done, you have *got* to share :)… Can't you just program the GP300 to TX with the PL tone and not worry about the PL from the RTCM?
