Jim Dixon and I have had disapointing results with USB hubs during the testing of USB fobs with them. We don't know why they don't work properly and we don't have the time to figure it out right now. There may be hubs which work just fine, but we just don't know as the root cause of the problem has not been uncovered. If Steve Henke W9SH knows something I don't them maybe he should speak up on the list. Steve WA6ZFT

Why can there be no USB Hubs? I have two systems in development right now that will both require hubs to gain enough ports.
The adding one at a time and keeping them in the same location is the reason to use the URI's and add eeproms. Has anybody actually utilized the eprom functions using a URI and Asterisk?

David,
First off, I just learned something myself about adding extra radio ports using USB fobs: They must be added one at a time.
Second, there should be no USB hubs between the FOB's and the PC's USB ports.
Finally, what type if linux install is this? ACID, EVB, custom?
I'd suggest restoring the configuration back to one radio port get that working, then add and tune the ports one at a time.

Hi Roger & Steve,
Well, I'm making progress. I've noticed a couple more things I thought I'd mention. First, I've got a strange situation where I can only properly access 2 of the 3 URI's I have attached to the PC....Initially, I only plugged 1 URI in and couldn't get it to work at all (though the green LED was blinking)....Then, when I plugged in a 2nd URI, the first started working (with my TKR-850)....Today, I found that the second wasn't functional....So, tonight, experimentally, I plugged in a 3rd URI and both of the original 2 are now working. Strange.....Perhaps this has something to do with udev? Anyway, this isn't holding me up at the moment.
The second issue is more troublesome. I can't get the repeater to link to the remote base....When I issue the connect command: *2(node number), the controller says it's linking both on the console and verbally. But, then it seems to hang totally with the TX enabled from the end that received the commands. I've tried this both ways--repeater to remote base (commands from the repeater) and vice versa. I end up having to kill -9 the asterisk process to regain control--"stop now" from the asterisk console hangs...This should work, right?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Steve and Roger,
Thanks so much for the assistance. I'll give it a try today and report back. I think most of my questions are now answered.
