Bryan,

I understand, having run many Echolink nodes, EchoIRLP nodes, etc. for years….  However, the good news is you can limit who can connect!  You can lock it down to certain callsigns, good for RACES group, etc…

 

Unfortunately, despite several replies, I have the same config in echolink.conf as everyone sent me and it never shows up on Echolink.

 

Maybe someone can catch my typo:

 

[el0]

confmode=no

call=*CONFNAME* ; Change this!

pwd=password ; Change this!

name=Allstar 27408 ; Change this to your real name!

qth=Allstar 27408 ; Change this to your actual QTH!

email=kb8zgl@kb8zgl.net ; Change this!

maxstns=5

rtcptimeout=10

node=8248 ; Change this!                             (Could this be my issue?  Maybe I need to pad the zeros like Allstar does?)

recfile=/tmp/recorded.gsm

astnode=27408 ; Change this to your active Allstar node number!

context=radio-secure

server1=naeast.echolink.org

server2=nasouth.echolink.org

server3=servers.echolink.org

freq=1 ; Freq in MHz

tone=0  ; CTCSS Tone (0 for none)

height=0 ; 0=10' ,1=20',2=40',3=80' ,4=160' ,5=320' ,6=640' ,7=1280',8=2560',9=5120' (AMSL in Feet)

gain=0 ; Gain in db (0-9)

dir=0 ; 0=omni, 1=45deg, 2=90deg, 3=135deg, 4=180deg, 5=225deg, 6=270deg, 7=315deg, 8=360deg (Direction)

are you really sure you want to?  serious question...i'm a lot happier and less agravated by the brain-damaged echolink boneheads since I set it up into a non connected pseudo node.  connect to me...and it goes nowhere else. there is nothing you can do with echolink that you can't do with the web transceiver; and the barrier to entry is a bit higher, too. 

 

i realize this sounds unwelcoming and not in the spirit of ham radio...neither is the continuous kerchunking, dead key timeouts, and lack of understanding about the environment you are connected to.  i prefer to shift the surfers off into a virtual dummy load.

I am trying to setup the echolink portion of an allstar node.  I followed the instructions for echolink.conf.  I don’t see any errors, I know chan_echolink is built in…

 

Is there any way to check logs or what is happening?  It doesn’t show up on Echolink.

 

FYI, this is a conference (ie. *confname*).  I am hoping that works ok?

 

Any suggestions how I can troubleshoot this?
