I recently purchased a used Quad PCI board and find I need some help with configuration, especially with zaptel.conf and zapata.conf. I've read the setup instructions and sample files, but I'm still confused. Desired outcome is to configure all four channels as follows:
Channels: 1 - Allstar node 2186 PL 100 Hz TX & RX Non-inverted COR 2 - Allstar node 2293 PL 100 Hz TX & RX Non-inverted COR 3 - Private Link Node (1000) DCS 365 (normal) Inverted COR 4 - Remote base IC-706 To be determined... (next on the project list)
Example configs, suggestions and/or guidance greatly appreciated.

There are example files /usr/src/astsrc/configs/pciradio. The files in this directory need to be placed in /etc/asterisk with the exception of zaptel.conf which goes in the /etc directory. These 4 files will get channel 1 working in carrier squelch mode. Once you have that working then you can try turning on ctcss encode and decode as well as changing the tone frequencies by editing zaptel.conf. Just a side note: The radio's CTCSS decoder may be better performer than the MX-828 chip used on the pciradio card. Once all that is working, then you can increase the channel count and configure other channels. Re-read the zaptel.conf, and zapata.conf and extensions.conf files. Steve WA6ZFT
