[App_rpt] small, durable PC recommendations
by Mark Hagler 01 Nov '07

01 Nov '07

Hello guys, I'm wondering if anybody has come up with a small and durable PC that can run Asterisk and app_rpt and survive in pretty wild temperature extremes? We have a GE MastrII repeater up in an attic at a school and on hot summers the temp can exceed 120 in the attic. The repeater has survived for many years up there, but I'm afraid your average Linux PC would not make it long in that kind of temperature. Also somewhat related, can anybody advise if app_rpt works on a non-Intel CPU architecture? I have run Asterisk reliably on MIPS and AMD Geode but am not sure if app_rpt (or perhaps the pciradio driver) has any particular affinity for i386ish architecture. I wonder if I could get by with a little board like this: http://metrix.net/pc-engines-alix1c-1-lan-1-minipci-500mhz-256mb-sbc-p-99.h… I'm would be grateful for your advice if anybody has looked into this before. Thanks everybody, Mark Hagler W7WMH

[App_rpt] idtalkover parameter
by Mark Hagler 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

One more question... I'm figuring things out as I go along here. So far this is pretty cool! In rpt.conf the idtalkover parameter isn't strongly documented. My guess at it's function is to play a morse code ID underneath the repeated audio if a long-winded user has the repeater keyed up and the ID timer expires completely. So, I set idtime=6000 and then I held the receiver open for well in excess of 6 seconds, but it did not play any morse code I under the audio. I tested several cycles transmitting >6 seconds and it always plays the ID file in tail but never ID's when the timer expires during a transmission. Could somebody enlighten me either to what this parameter really does or show me if I'm using it incorrectly? Thanks, Mark Hagler

[App_rpt] tail messages not working
by Mark Hagler 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

Hello Everyone, I received the Analog Interface board today in the mail (Steve must have shipped it SUPER priority mail). To play with the software quickly I just connected it via two Yaesu FT-7800R mobile radios (via the 6-pin DATA jacks) and it works very nicely. One thing that I can't get to work right is tail messages. I put this in my config file: tailmessagetime=2000 ; Play a tail message every 5 mins tailsquashedtime=1000 ; If squashed by another user tailmessages=tail1,tail2,tail3 ;list of messages to be played for tail message And I have recorded a sample audio file and copied it three times (tail1.gsm, tail2.gsm, tail3.gsm). It doesn't look like app_rpt is even trying to play tail messages, as in I do not get any errors on the Asterisk console about missing audio files. Just for testing I set the value to 2 seconds to get it to try to play the files but it's not. Any thoughts? Thanks, Mark

Rev B of usbfob.pdf has been uploaded to the site with the fix to the receive audio input attenuator. Thanks for pointing this out to me. Steve Rodgers, WA6ZFT Roger F. Jordan wrote: > Hi everyone...

Roger, The schematic is correct. I will fix and upload a new version of the document. Steve. Roger F. Jordan wrote: > Hi everyone...

[App_rpt] Small Problem with Wiring the connector for USB FOB!!
by Roger F. Jordan 29 Oct '07

29 Oct '07

Hi everyone... I am in the process of setting up the CM-108 Sound FOB and found a discrepancy between the directions and the schematic! The directions say to connect the twisted connection of the 68K resister and the 470K resister to the connectors Pin 3 and the open end of the 470K to the white wire... However the schematic shows the 470k going to pin 3 and the 68K going to Pin 5 (ground) and the connection of both the resisters going to the white wire... Before I get this thing together and find it does not work... Can someone tell me which is correct? I have the hard stuff done... IE getting that dadgum resister connected to the CM108 chip!! Heheh Thanks in advance! Roger W4RFJ

[App_rpt] Still Looking for help to get the anode backup and
by Will 25 Oct '07

Steve, I've played around with the permisson and have made it work as you stated. I will revisit The audio now is my concern and can't figure out why the ARIB card is not processing it. I have measure a least 250 millvolt on pin 3 (RX), the input pin on the ARIB and will not pass audio for processing. I have turn the RX gain with no respones in the audio levels.. could there be a programable adjustment in the zapata.conf? Look like I need to go back and read hi hi but Where?

[App_rpt] radio interface question
by Will 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hello Mark, I use two Moto's GM300 as a repeater thats work great on a ARCOM RC210 controller. They will also work great on the app_rpt program, which is a excelent confirguration to use. I will be configuring my two GM300 shortly to finally take advantage of the full duplex system offered by the app_rpt program/hardware. As far as your 6 pin din some do not deliver enough audio on the output. So It depends on the radio in use. Most likely when in use you would use 1200 bps. The GM300 has 16 pins and depending if you have the 8 or 16 channel the more pins are programmble for what signals you need to connect up the app_rpt program that run the hardware. Will / W4WWM
