Since allstar is pretty well accessible with sip clients i wonder how easy it would be to build a mobile app that we could use on both Iphones and Andriod based OS I know that this would involve alot of work probably however I think it would help out Allstar greatly especially if we were to compare it to Echolink where thats all the old timers talk about.. Echolink to them is just name recognition but just like Windows it has its flaws... This is only just an Idea if some one else has thought of this i apologize for stepping on anybody toes... I just know that to keep some project like this going requires pushing the edges of technology is good especially for long term.. I wish i knew enough about programming if i did i personally would love to help out but I am not that good when it comes down to that sort of things.. Anyway thanks for the help everyone on earlier projects Loren Tedford (KC9ZHV) Email: lorentedford@gmail.com <loren@richlandcountycomputers.com> http://www.lorentedford.com http://kc9zhv.lorentedford.com
Loren, There is a free iax application right now called zoiper which is available on both iphone and android and works into allstar. There is an example in the BBB iax.conf - I probably should do a howto on it. http://www.zoiper.com/en Setup an iax account in the app and in iax.conf. It uses *99 to key and # to unkey. It works and sounds pretty good but awkward to use compared to a radio handheld. If you have inbound IAX port forwarded you already are setup for using this with the appropriate configuration. Another option is to create a mobile Allstar node using something like the BBB with appropriate interface. Some of the new cars actually have wifi hotspots built in! 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2014 12:11:41 -0500 From: lorentedford@gmail.com To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: [App_rpt-users] Ideas (Mobile App) Since allstar is pretty well accessible with sip clients i wonder how easy it would be to build a mobile app that we could use on both Iphones and Andriod based OS I know that this would involve alot of work probably however I think it would help out Allstar greatly especially if we were to compare it to Echolink where thats all the old timers talk about..

What about a system that is similar to lets say Echolink in the ability to search and select what repeater you want to add to your quick list then use this to connect to the repeater through a web transceiver like setup kinda like an all in one type software.. If i understood what you were talking about this you would have to setup up repeater side individually for each user..

Once you get a bit more familiar with the software and read a bit more about it's capabilities, then perhaps you can answer your own questions... but in the meantime, check into 'scheduling', 'iax' and 'macros'. Once a macro is set in rpt.conf you can dial it with a (as few as) 3 digit code, the first two being the standard macro access command. ;-) If there's another allstar node you wish to connect to all the time (to link the nodes together) see 'startup macro'. Lots of information out there, but basically, it's this: Allstar is the radio/repeater control software with the ability to link. It's not 'end-user' stuff, and there are no 'phone apps' to access it from the 'end user' side of things. The "end user" in this type of setup, is the radio/repeater User (and you don't want -them- with access to your castle! That's what the moat and drawbridge are for, right? ;-) ) As the System Operator/Administrator, -you- have the keys to your castle and can do with it as you please. Allstar is fun, very technical, challenging (most times) in finding good documentation and all around does an awesome job in linking two radios/repeaters or combinations thereof together. 73 = Best Regards -Geoff/W5OMR
