Not only is that unfortunate, it’s very, very sad. Steve helped me with getting my first app_rpt node going, in helping to configure and connect up my first All Star Link node. Even provided my first modified sound dongle. Answered all of my most elementary questions and ensure my node sounded all right. Heck of a guy, and I had lost touch with him some time ago.

All, Steve moved back "home" to northern Indianapolis (Fishers) November 2018. He was suffering from Parkinson's disease and wanted to be close to the rest of his family for care. He had a successful oration for an aortic aneurysm in the spring of 2019. The surgery, however, caused a minor stroke which further amplified the effects of the Parkinson's disease. This past Tuesday afternoon (1/7) he suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm resulting in a fall that caused further traumatic brain injury. He passed comfortably and without pain at the hospital about 12 hours later [the early morning hours of Wednesday (1/8)] at the age of 66 with his wife and family by his side. I have been in contact with his son John and he is encouraged by thoughts of those who remember him as the brilliant mind that he was. I plan on attending his viewing, service, and celebration of life on Sunday and would be more than happy to pass along any "good ol' Steve" stories anyone would like me to share. Steve was a contributor in this technology and I will be sure to pass along to his family how grateful we ALL are for his contributions. Here is a link to his obituary and final arrangements. https://www.shirleybrothers.com/obituaries/Steven-Henke/ Regards, Scott Scott Zimmerman Amateur Radio Call N3XCC 474 Barnett Road Boswell, PA 15531 On 1/10/2020 5:37 PM, Bryan Fields wrote:

I've tried it before, but it wasn't sutiable for our needs. The voting was basically "is there signal". The RTCM/Voter tested much better. That said, I always felt there was room to improve it, but I never looked that close at it. I have a copy of the xipar app_rpt.c from 2010, and it looks like it would work, but there are several issues in it due to the old numbering of the ASL network (ie 4,9,5 node numbers being used for different things than today). There's likely more in there too, but that's what jumped out at me. If you want I can send you a copy of this source. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
Wow. Steve was member of our local club here north of Atlanta for many years. He and I spent lots of hours talking about remote base operating with AllStar (and Xipar) systems. July 2013 NFARL club meeting. tnx Mike / W5JR Alpharetta GA

I am saddened to hear of his passing. Yeah I'll take you up on that source offer. I am looking for a happy medium between deploying another receiver with a different PL, and doing it the right way by sinking a lot of money into RTCM/Voter modules. Steve KB9MWR

asdflhfgdfuidfgz.ljlnbl!!!!!!! Dammit! I visited his home twice in Norcross, GA. At the time, he loved the ASL project and helped me with my node on more than a few occasions. Henke was a very unsung hero as he was extremely instrumental to the development, and advancement of ASL. He showed his version of the USB RoIP adapter; long before the reset came out. Steve wouldn't let me have it, ha. Benjamin, KB9LFZ On 1/10/20 1:58 PM, Scott Zimmerman wrote:
