Which channel are you using when you have this problem? I had channel A for the repeater audio and channel B for a monitor and when I lost channel A, channel B would still be working fine. Recently moved everything to channel B only and so far it has been fine.

I use WOL to start up the 1U Supermicro Atom powered server every AM to bring up the repeater since it is only on about 14-16 Hrs/day. I do this by dialling an extension on my Asterisk home phone system. A WOL command gets fired off to start the server. When Asterisk starts on the Acid box, a GPIO pin on the URI turns on a SSR to power up the repeater hardware. Occasionally, maybe once in 15 or 20 times, the machine seems to come up normally, but the id and transmit audio is very low level and distorted. The only way to fix it is to unplug the USB connector from the URI and plug it back in. This resets the URI and all is good until the next time it happens. Updating CentOS/Acid/Asterisk over the last year has not helped. I suspect that some register in the CM119A is getting corrupted while the machine is down. I have tried a USB reset script I found that sends a bus reset command to the C-Media USB port. I identified it's device id with the lsusb command and inserted the proper bus and device id into the script. I then added the script to rc.local to run it each time the computer boots. It does appear to reset the bus, but it does not clear the problem. Remotely rebooting or powering down the computer via DTMF does not help either since USB power normally stays on. The only way to clear the problem is to interrupt the USB power and create a power up reset state for the URI. Has anyone else seen this behavior? Any ideas short of some actual hardware to interact with the USB power supply? A IP controlled power switch could work, but it seems a bit of a overkill. It's not a show-stopper with the repeater in my house, but when the system gets moved to a remote location it will be. Sorry if this gets double-posted, I inadvertently used a different email address the first time.

If you leave the system on does it run ok?

The donations so far have been rather underwhelming and will not even begin to cover the associated cost for running the various servers which support Allstarlink. If you can spare the funds please help out. You can donate by using the following URL. https://allstarlink.org/ At the top of the webpage just slightly down there is a PayPal donate button 73 Marshall - ke6pcv From: app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Marshall Oldham Sent: Saturday, November 29, 2014 10:24 AM To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: [App_rpt-users] AllStarLink Financial Donation Greetings fellow AllStarLink members, Once again I am reposting this email which is very similar to last year with the hopes that we as the amateur community can step forward and support our hobby, mainly the app_rpt and AllStarLink technology that we all enjoy today. As many of you that are new to app_rpt might NOT know. The creator of app_rpt and the Allstarlink network has never charged or asked for financial support to keep the system going for use in amateur radio. He has never charged users money to be a part of app_rpt or for use of the network, nor has he ever made any profit off of specific hardware sales for the Allstarlink network. Through the years he has put in a great deal of time and dedication along with his exceptional talents to make app_rpt and the Allstarlink network the great VOIP technology that it has become today. No other VOIP technology in the amateur radio community can even compare to the technology, features and capability that is offered for free to anyone wishing to setup a node. Another understated fact is that there are monthly costs associated with keeping things running smoothly for the system. These costs are for server collocation, domain certifications and so on, amounting to roughly $175 per month. Jim pays these monthly fees from donations, but mostly out of his own pocket. It would be nice if we could all pitch in and help him to at the least cover these monthly costs for this coming year? I am proposing that we all donate to this cause via PayPal at the following URL. https://allstarlink.org/ At the top of this webpage just slightly down there is a PayPal donate button. In the spirit and season of giving, let's all try and help out with the financial side, so we can continue to use and enjoy this great technology that we have all come to know and love! I would also like to thank Jim, WB6NIL for all the many hours of work and support that he and others have donated to this hobby so that the amateur community at large can benefit and enjoy the use of his technology on a daily basis for free. 73 Marshall - ke6pcv Node 2065, 2066, 2067, 2068, 29147, 29148, 29149, 29947, 29948, 29949
