Resolve mantis bug 0000016: Quick unkeys and rekeys over the network queue a link Courtesy Tone 20.Add nolocallinkct key to node stanza so that nodes co-hosted on the same server can optionally send no link courtesy tone. 21. Added arbitary tone generation as COP function 48. 22.Add link activity timer function to resolve Mantis feature request 0000010. 23. Better control of IRLP connect and disconnect messages through config file options and DTMF commands, and added irlpplay CLI command to assist in queuing the messages one at a time. 24. Fixed Mantis bug 0000011 pad test broken 25. Fixed Mantis bug 0000004 out-of-band telemetry sent when link in monitor 26.Added antenna select for FT-950 27. Cleaned up debug messages for FT-950 28, Added FT-950 support 29. Fix alarm setup with multiple uChameleons chan_irlp.c version 0.27: 1, Fixed problem with enabling and disabling irlp connect/disconnect announcement mmessages. Use irlpplay Asterisk cli command. 2, Don't update DB when operating in experimental reflector mode. 3. Resolve Mantis bug 0000001 by disabling Asterisk's DTMF decoder on IRLP incoming audio. 4. Major changes to add experimental reflector support and ability to connect to expermental reflectors. chan_echolink.c version 0.21: 1, Resolved Mantis Bugs 0000026 and 0000038 2, Failure to connect to certain Echolink nodes. 3, Removed multiple initial packets. chan_usbradio.c/xpmr has been updated: 1, CM108AH (new uri) support 2, Add support for CM119 sound chips 3, Improve carrier squelch operation. 4. Allow for hot plug functionallity of USB devices 5. Add rxontime parameter for simplex nodes. (anti-pingpong) 6. Fix TX hang problem. 7. Resolve Segfault when txmixa=voice and txtone is set to zero. 8. Sync with Xelatec version. Add TX blanking time. 9. Fixed mode steering problem and clipping in xpmr Final Note: Someone needs to test the astupd feature on older ACID installs and either say it works or doesn't work. Do not use astupd on older installs until we have confirmation that it is working, play it safe and do a complete install from CD unless this is reported to be working from several sources.

squelch tail
by Scott Weis 20 Sep '09

20 Sep '09

I've been listening on the LA hub and noticed that the systems on there don't have a squelch tail after each receive. I have always had one no mater what radio I've used. My current config is as follows: 1 pair of Icom F221 radios (Full duplex), 1 URI and on Dell PC running ACID (Updated to latest ACID asterisk release.) The COR is hardware from the radio. PL is DSP. What is everyone else doing different? Thanks & 73 Scott KB2EAR

CM108 dongle

DEalExtreme still has 'em at $6.35 each in quantities over 3. I think that includes shipping. I bought five or six a few months ago, and it took a few weeks, but they were CHEAP. http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.21812 George J Csahanin W2DB

Help with IRLP Experimental Refector Configuration
by John (WB5NFC) 17 Sep '09

17 Sep '09

New iso is working fine with Echolink, but I'm having problems with IRLP... Cannot get an IRLP node to connect to my experimental reflector. The IRLP station hears a connect message, but I don't hear a thing. The node trying to connect is properly configured to connect to exp reflectors. Both irlphosts and exp-x-reference are updating. I have verified that the dyndns IP on file for my experimental node is correct... CLI output: [Sep 13 13:52:33] NOTICE[2419]: chan_irlp.c:1125 irlp_reader: irlp node attempted connect from 74.194.177.242 with no node info irlp.conf: [general] node=exp0012 call=wb5nfc rtcptimeout=10 localispeakerport=2174 radmode=no audioport=2074 context=radio-secure astnode=2347 Suggestions on how to troubleshoot greatly appreciated...

[morse] stanza
by Eric Tichansky 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Is there a node stanza parameter for setting a custom morse stanza mapping? The documentation online seems to suggest this, but there does not appear to be any such parameter in the app-rpt source. 73 - eric - no3m

That's why I suggested waiting for the release. The gist of it is that you are going to need chan_usbradio.c and everything in the xpmr directory as well. Please understand that because this is a manual change you need to proceed at your own risk; none of this code has been regressed against older versions. I'm not in a position right now to give intensive help if something goes wrong. Steve WA6ZFT

Kerchunk filter or equivalent of pulseback timer?
by Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

Hi All; One of the local repeaters is connecting to the VE3TNK HUB (#2200) using an off-site link radio (since there's no IP at the repeater site). Unfortunately, the analog repeater controller can not be set for zero hang time, and therefore the short hang time is being exposed to the hub and all of the downstream nodes. Is there a kerchunk filter or the equivalent of a pulseback timer (as there is in IRLP) to compensate (filter out) such kerchunks? Thanks! Ramesh.

Re: [App_rpt-users] Busy Lockout on simplex node
by hwstar＠rodgers.sdcoxmail.com 16 Sep '09

16 Sep '09

This is by design. To do otherwise violates the rules here in the US, although I am curious as to why you want to do this? You also might try duplex=0 and linktolink=yes in rpt.conf.
