Hi Everybody, I'm busy finalising my AllStarLink node 27871 . It's going to be a simplex (for now) node with the future potential to be linked to my local 70cm repeater. I am finding one little problem that I can't seem to solve. I have set duplex in usbradio.conf to zero (0) and duplex in rpt.conf to one (1), but as soon as my node radio receives a transmission, it keys up straight away... over the incoming transmission, almost as if it is still configured for duplex mode. This makes it real hard to enter any DTMF codes. (-: Where should be I looking to solve this? I am handling CTCSS (both TX and RX) in the node radio itself (I am using a Simoco SRM9000 VHF commercial radio). I have a low going logic level that has been tied to the radios "valid signal" flag which is set to CTCSS 107.2Hz, this is fed to the COS input on my URI. The audio output from the radio is squelched, highpass filtered and de-emphasised. I have set carrierfrom=usb and ctcssfrom=no, I think this then disables CTCSS decoding within the computer. Does this also disable transmitting CTCSS? I have set txmixa=voice which I presume also stops CTCSS from being output from the URI. I look forward to hearing from you all... via the email list and on air too! Michael VK5ZEA
Hi Michel, Ok set duplex = 0 in the Rpt.conf And set your hangtime = 1 (change it from 1000). That should get you simplex node working. Also there will be no telemetry but you will hear connect /disconnect messages. If there is no statement in Rpt.conf for duplex, it operates in full duplex by default. Hope this helps.

duplex=1 is quite nice, actually. What you really need to do is set carrierfrom=usbinvert since your signal is *low* true. JIM WB6NIL

also for transmit, set txprelim=no. That will make it not generate "flat" pre-emphasized limited audio for direct modulation.

Thanks to all with your replies, It was the carrierfrom-usbinvert that I needed to correct, I thought I did try this before but it may have coincided with times I wasn't restarting/reloading Asterisk properly. Now I have to tweak my audio levels when I bring home my radio test set from work. I am being a nice employee and have offered the boss the use of my personal gear while his IFR 500A is away getting fixed! I do like the telemetry tones but I have also reduced my hangtime a little, something very calming about those beeps! It might just be that it's all new right now and in time I will be less fond of them. (-: Michael. VK5ZEA On 4/07/2011 21:48, Jim Duuuude wrote:
