DTMF with App_Rpt
by AFA6VC 10 Apr '09

10 Apr '09

Hi to all on the list, Troubleshooting DTMF commands with my app_rpt setup running as a simplex node. Maybe someone here has seen this... I can send DTMF commands from my HT to the simplex node. It shows up properly on the CLI. If I send "*80" it shows up as receiving a "*", then an "8" and then a "0". The problem is that the command won't always execute. In this case, sometimes it will ID and other times it won't. Same holds true for other commands (linking and unlinking). Before I roll back to an earlier version, is this an app_rpt issue or should I go looking somewhere else? I have tried both with and without PL. Thanks, 73 Vic

Nice one Randy, I need to be sure I am running the same version as you - I updated my app_rpt recently so I guess it should work, I'll give it a try. Thanks for that info. Does chan_echolink work in the same way?

More - Replacing an IRLP node with App-rpt node

[ I'm resending this to the group. I hate that replies go only to the original sender. ] The version of the chan_irlp software I'm running has all the support functions that a normal IRLP node has. Therefore, the same methods are used. Place the node you want to lock out in the $CUSTOM/lockout_list file. For example, to lockout node 1234, put stn1234 in the the above mentioned file. If you want to lockout all reflectors, put ALLREF in the file. This will prevent calling or receiving calls from the listed nodes.

More - Replacing an IRLP node with App-rpt node
by Matt Beasant 10 Apr '09

Right, thats got that bit sorted. Now for my next challenge..... The original IRLP node had an inactivity timeout that would tear down any connection that was not specifically set up to be permanent. How could I achieve this on my app_rpt node? My problem is that I have a rogue user who connects to the WIN system late at night as he likes to listen in (!!!) I dont mind as the repeater is usually very quiet anyway at this time of night. Problem is he falls asleep ( I guess ) and doesn't disconnect the node from the reflector. Then in the morning a local QSO gets going on the local repeater and bam, we get blocked from the WIN system - and I don't blame them either! Anyone got any ideas? I totally cracked my news and clock setting problems now and it rocks! Thanks, Matt G4RKY

Size of partition created by ACID Install Disk
by Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hi Steve; In the next release of the ACID ISO, would it be possible to prompt the user for the size of the partition so that the installation does not default to creating a 4GB partition? Most HDD's these days are at least 80GB if not multiples of that. While the app_rpt code itself fits in very easily in a 4GB partition, it would be nice to have the option to create a larger partition for other add-ons, etc.... Thanks! Ramesh.

Re: [App_rpt-users] Addition of a second node - messed up node 1
by Stephen Rodgers 08 Apr '09

Ramesh, I don't know where the problem would be off-hand, but what I would try going back to a single node system, delete the tune file(s) and gradually add things until it either works, or you can determine the thing that breaks it. Do things one step at a time noting the results at each step. Then revert back to the prior step to see if functionallity is restored. One thing that mildly concerns me is that usbradio_tune.conf should never, ever be copied. Tuning must be done from scratch on an addtional nodes as they are added.

Addition of a second node - messed up node 1
by Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Hi Steve and all; I attempted adding a new node (2424) onto my existing system where I have 2182 and 2248 running. 2182 is a real node using a usbfob; 2248 is my chan_dstar node. I followed the instructions in the ACID admin guide when adding the new node - modified the 4 files as instructed (rpt.conf, iax.conf, extensions.conf and usbradio.conf). That all went fine - got node 2424 setup and reporting to the stats page. I was able to use CLI and connect 2182 to 2424. I then noticed that there was no audio passing from 2182 over to 2424. I then tried issuing DTMF from 2182 and no go - CLI did not show my DTMF! Speaking with Jon (VA3RQ) who recently setup a 2 node system, we edited the rpt.conf and usbradio.conf files such that the 2 nodes specified Radio/usb0 and Radio/usb1 respectively. Similarly, we renamed and edited the usbradio_tune_usb.conf file to reference usb0, and also renamed the file name to usbradio_tune_usb0.conf and usbradio_tune_usb1.conf respectively. No luck - still no audio into the (original) fob. Unfortunately, I'm unable to test audio into the new fob since the mods are not complete! Since I had saved all of the original files, I rolled back to the original 4 files (single node, 2182) and unfortunately, I have the same symptoms - no audio into the fob. In fact when I go into debug mode, I do not even see a carrier from the fob. Audio out of the fob works fine! Is it possible that I've messed up something else when trying to add the second node - i.e., something other than the 4 files mentioned that would have an impact on the fobs ability to sense any of the inputs? Deaf in Toronto.... Ramesh.

URI's I/O fan control
by Will Wright 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hello to the group, I wonder if anyone would like to share a timing circuit and it's programming use with one of the URI I/O pins, lets say to control a fan to keep the transmitter cool on transmit and off when not in transmit. Thanks Will / W4WWM
