typo in example rpt.conf and as-built rpt.conf?
by Matt Beasant 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hi, I've been trying to get my link activity timer working on a new node I built recently. I see from the web site here: http://app-rpt.qrvc.com/node/93 That the syntax is lnkactenable=1 However, my "as installed" rpt.conf file and also the one in the examples section on the node had the "i" in it making it: linkactenable=1 ^ and I didnt spot it ! Just a heads up! Matt G4RKY

There have been no changes to app_rpt or chan_usbradio for ACID 0.10. ACID 0.10.The change from 0.9 to 0.10 was only because of some install script changes to support servers with large amounts of memory on them. Regarding audio dropouts: Some people have reported issues with audio dropouts, but I have not seen this on any system I installed on node 2011 so I don't really know how real this problem is. Even if I did have a system exhibiting this problem, it would have to be investigated by the authors of the usb channel driver Jim Dixon, WB6NIL and Steve Henke, W9SH as they wrote the code and know where to look for problems.

playback command
by Matt Beasant 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hi all, I have been going nuts trying to remember the syntax for this and I am hoping someone here can put me straight! 96=playback 2514 ,hello-world in my rpt.conf file in the functions stanza. 2514 is the node number and hello-world is just an example sound file from the atserisk/sounds directory. I had this working once upon a time but now I just cant seem to get the syntax right to get it to work. All I want to do is to call a voice ID file from the scheduler by calling a macro, so I need to define a dtmf code to it so the macro can run the fiunction. Matt G4RKY

Just ran astupd.sh on my node and got: You have ACID version: 0.9 and the version on http://dl.allstarlink.org is: 0.10 Fatal error: astupd.sh cannot be used, you must re-install ACID to update this system. Does 0.10 address any of the audio dropout problems recently discussed? Dropouts are a recurring problem on my nodes as well. Hate to do a complete reinstall, but willing if there's a reason. Thanks!

CTCSS Encode control
by Matt Beasant 21 Nov '09

21 Nov '09

A quick question.... I am using my new APP_RPT node to encode CTCSS from the USB fob and am doing this for the first time. Is there any way to get the encode to turn off at the same time as the rx input COS changes state, or perhaps after the CT has completed? I've been messing with the settings in usbradio.conf all day and so far have failed to get the encode to stop at any time other than when the Tx unkeys. Am I trying to achieve something thats not possible or am I looking in the wrong place? Regards, Matt G4RKY PS: Ramesh, if you're reading this as soon as I get this repeater off my bench and on the hill, you're 220MHz stuff is next in the queue :-D!

This script change has been uploaded to dl.allstarlink.org/installcd. Try re-installing from scratch on a PAE system and tell me if it works or not. Steve WA6ZFT

I'm not familiar with the chan_usbradio/xpmr channel driver workings. I just did a fresh acid install and it did not select the PAE (Physical Address Extension) kernel and the install completed without any intervention required. `uname -r` issued installed after install is complete shows it is not a PAE kernel. I need to find a sure-fire way to detect the selection of a PAE kernel to use to select the kernel-PAE-devel or kernel-devel RPM during the execution of phase1.sh. When you do a uname -r | grep PAE, immediately after a failed install, are the characters PAE printed? If so, I could possibly use `uname -r | grep PAE` to detect when the PAE kernel gets selected at install. Note that this will require you to do yet another install! Steve WA6ZFT

CM-109?
by Ken 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Greetings from a total newbie here Before hacking the USB fob I have here, does anyone know if the CM-109 works? The fob I bought was advertized as 108 but in fact has a 109 inside it. The '109 just seems like a slightly fancier '108. WWW dot cmedia.com.tw/usb_cm108.html cmedia.com.tw/usb_cm109.html Looking at the data sheets of each one these, the functional block diagrams are the same. On the software side, the product ID is 008 instead of 138 Thanks Ken KE2N

It would be nice to know if a 'yum install kernel-PAE-devel' allows phase2.sh to run to completion successfully. Steve WA6ZFT
