Computer suggestions?
by James Nessen 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

I am looking to co-locate an allstar node with a newly purchased repeater, however... The repeater site isn't real computer friendly, I hear that it gets hot in the summer time, up to possibly 110-120 degrees F and the site has vents to allow some airflow (but doesn't have A/C). I am looking at possibly something fan less with a CF card to keep the # of moving parts down, but I am a little worried about the heat. My other option is to install a RF link from the repeater site to my house and leave the computer in a cooled location (but where is the fun in that?) Suggestions welcome! Thanks! Jim, K6JWN

Re: [App_rpt-users] Telemetry bug?.. in morse section too. restart fixes
by Don Russell 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

are you just doing an rpt reload? I found the morse section was doing the same thing, until I stopped and restarted asterisk. The morse section was being ignored until a full restart. -- Don Russell, CBRE CBNT W9DRR - ARRL OES, Technical Specialist http://www.socialengineer.us

asterisk constant disk activity.
by Don Russell 24 Apr '11

24 Apr '11

Anyone ever see asterisk/app_rpt using around 200-300 K/s constantly. Not sure what/where it is writing. nothing streaming to the logs or console at that rate. this is per iotop. The journal for ext4 was the top process. 2nd was asterisk. Asterisk is only using maybe 10% of the cpu at max, average around 5-6%. The IO doesn't stop until I kill asterisk. It's not zombie or anything and is responding properly. OS: Ubuntu 10.10 32bit ext4. Wondering if it's ext4 related and it's not playing nice with asterisk.

Telemetry bug?
by Scott Weis 24 Apr '11

24 Apr '11

I am trying to set up separate telemetry stanzas for each repeater on the same computer. (4 total) I specify telemetry= in each node stanza and create a telemetry stanza to match. Only the stanza named telemetry works. If I name it anything else (like telemetry2) it uses the defaults from the app_rpt.c and kicks out this error: [Apr 24 16:44:05] WARNING[9736] app_rpt.c: telem_lookup:ctx failed on Zap/pseudo-1601063541 Can someone else out there try this and confirm the behavior? Thanks & 73, Scott KB2EAR

MDC-1200?
by James Nessen 24 Apr '11

24 Apr '11

Anyone using MDC-1200 on their node? I just programmed up my HT1250 and gave it a radio ID of 8000, then setup the corresponding mdcmacro entries: [mdcmacro] I8000=*70 S*-2=*70 S*-1=*81 I key up to test, and it seems to work as expected on the first run: Got MDC-1200 (single-length) packet on node 2142: op: 01, arg: 00, UnitID: 8000 Got MDC-1200 data I8000 from local system (2142) MDCMacro for I8000 doing *70 on node 2142 [Apr 23 21:49:44] NOTICE[21906]: chan_usbradio.c:2815 usbradio_read: rxcarrierdetect = 0, chan Radio/usb [Apr 23 21:49:44] NOTICE[21906]: chan_usbradio.c:2894 usbradio_read: o->rxkeyed = 0, chan Radio/usb chan_usbradio ACRK dev=usb code=(null) TX ON [Apr 23 21:49:44] NOTICE[21906]: chan_usbradio.c:2688 usbradio_read: txPttIn = 1, chan Radio/usb [Apr 23 21:49:44] NOTICE[21906]: chan_usbradio.c:2705 usbradio_read: txPttOut = 1, chan Radio/usb [Apr 23 21:49:44] NOTICE[21906]: chan_usbradio.c:3011 usbradio_read: dev=usb got b.txCtcssReady 0.0 -- <Zap/pseudo-1716568020> Playing 'rpt/node' (language 'en') -- <Zap/pseudo-1716568020> Playing 'digits/2' (language 'en') -- <Zap/pseudo-1716568020> Playing 'digits/1' (language 'en') -- <Zap/pseudo-1716568020> Playing 'digits/4' (language 'en') -- <Zap/pseudo-1716568020> Playing 'digits/2' (language 'en') -- <Zap/pseudo-1716568020> Playing 'rpt/repeat_only' (language 'en') -- Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-1716568020' chan_usbradio ACRUK dev=usb TX OFF >> [Apr 23 21:49:51] NOTICE[21906]: chan_usbradio.c:2694 usbradio_read: txPttIn = 0, chan Radio/usb -- Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-171990874' [Apr 23 21:49:51] NOTICE[21906]: chan_usbradio.c:2705 usbradio_read: txPttOut = 0, chan Radio/usb [Apr 23 21:49:51] NOTICE[21906]: chan_usbradio.c:3011 usbradio_read: dev=usb got b.txCtcssReady I then key up again and it seems to decode the packet, but doesn't touch the macro again: [Apr 23 21:50:02] NOTICE[21906]: chan_usbradio.c:2815 usbradio_read: rxcarrierdetect = 1, chan Radio/usb [Apr 23 21:50:02] NOTICE[21906]: chan_usbradio.c:2886 usbradio_read: o->rxkeyed = 1, chan Radio/usb Got MDC-1200 (single-length) packet on node 2142: op: 01, arg: 00, UnitID: 8000 Got MDC-1200 data I8000 from local system (2142) [Apr 23 21:50:03] NOTICE[21906]: chan_usbradio.c:2815 usbradio_read: rxcarrierdetect = 0, chan Radio/usb [Apr 23 21:50:03] NOTICE[21906]: chan_usbradio.c:2894 usbradio_read: o->rxkeyed = 0, chan Radio/usb intrepid*CLI> I am also attempting to work on the MDC-1200 status stuff and set the entries above, the node sees the traffic, but doesn't actually do anything with it.

restart a single updated file?
by Joey Smith 18 Apr '11

18 Apr '11

More of a linux question- Isn't there a way I can restart just a single file I updated without restarting asterisk? For instance if I updated rpt.conf or usbradio.conf, can I just restart that file somehow? Thanks

adjusting squelch tail time ??
by Joey Smith 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

If possible, Is there a way one can adjust the squelch tail time? (The time from when a person unkeys the mic to the courtesy tone). I got the hang time adjusted where I want it but having trouble getting the squelch tail time down. Thanks
