Hi Guys; Wonder if anyone is running ACID or Limey, etc., on a Netbook with say 2 full-duplex repeater (running chan_usbradio)? Thx, Ramesh.
Ramesh, I am running two nodes with SimpleUSB and two hubs on a thin client that has a 1Ghz processor and 1GB or RAM, so I don't expect a netbook to be a problem. :) Robert N5QM On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 7:25 PM, Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) <Ramesh@va3uv.com> wrote:

Hi Robert; There is a big difference between SimpleUSB and chan_usbradio. The latter is more CPU intensive due to DSP handling. I have also used the HP Thin Clients with chan_simpleusb - but when I tried to run chan_usbradio on a thin client, it cracked under pressure! Thanks, Ramesh.

Ramesh, Please explain test conditions, standards expected, and actual results. I'm running Limey Linux on a thin client. I am using usbradio.conf/chan_usbradio and I've experience zero hangs/freezes/drop-outs/you-name-it. DSP = CPU intensive? Unless you are running many nodes on one machine that use DSP functions, then I don't think so. ~Benjamin, KB9LFZ On Mon, 2013-08-12 at 20:51 -0400, Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) wrote:

Ramesh, I tried usbradio on the thin client as well and it use about 23% CPU instead of about 8% per node, it performed ok, but I did notice some audio dropouts. It is important to note that I did not use a service monitor to tune it while running in usbradio mode though, so that very well may have been the cause. I'm using T5730s btw, if that matters..

<-- Hi Benjamin; I was using ACID on a HP T5710 (~1.2GHz proc with 256MB of RAM, IIRC). I just tested with one node - if I used chan_simpleusb and half-duplex, the repeater worked fine (using an external controller of course). If I switched to chan_usbradio, dsp, full duplex (removing the external controller), I found that the repeater would remain keyed after the input signal was removed. I tried this a few times, got the same results. So, since the HP worked fine with an external controller, I used chan_simpleusb. For my own / current application, I am pursuing an IBM ThinkPad laptop Intel Dual core ~ 1.8GHz proc' which, I believe should work out fine. Cheers, Ramesh. 2182 / 2424 down due to (yet another) zapped SATA controller in an IBM Think Centre 9210.
Ramesh, Hello.. For info: I have had a 2008 Acer Aspire netbook 1gb running 2 / 3 nodes simplex for over a year now via 3G. The 3G is the problem !! 73, Ian.. ________________________________ From: Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) <Ramesh@va3uv.com> To: app_rpt <app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org> Sent: Tuesday, 13 August 2013, 3:09 Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] ACID on a Netbook?

HI Ramesh, Just about all the IBM/Lenovo PCs I used had failed in similar fashion. I have had much more luck with used HP Compaq boxes. I cant see why not an atom net book couldnt do the job. The only problem is loading Centos/asterisk on it as there is no cd rom. I have not been able to access any pc with out a standard CD Rom. I have tried usb external CD rom but no dice. Still would be nice to load from USB stick too. It would make install real easy too. The Xipper distro (Redhat Fidora) can be loaded from USB stick so why cant ACID?

Yep. Loading onto the netbook was definitely an exercise, and it took me several hours to get it right (which involved a lot of manual thingies…) -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or 888-75-BUDDY On Aug 13, 2013, at 8:06 AM, Jon Rorke <jrorke@cogeco.ca> wrote:
