Re: [App_rpt-users] irlp channel driver Q?
Hi Tony, <can of worms> AFAIK, support for IRLP was removed from app_rpt, at the insistence of Dave Cameron. Personally, I think that he is sitting on a stockpile of obsolete parallel port cards, and is afraid that he'll get stuck with them. Many IRLP node owners believe that their node will not operate without the parallel port card, and the guy selling them likes that. As you know, his board doesn't even handle audio (other than for the DTMF decoder). There is also the matter of his ROIP commercial system, which uses the same obsolete parallel port card. At one time IRLP would issue a node number / PGP key for a "donation", sans IRLP board. As for your last question, I'm not sure. Since app_rpt is open source, I'm guessing it could be done if one knew how to integrate chan_irlp. I decided to vote with my feet, and turned in my IRLP node number after Cameron's antics. Let him take his ball and go home.... Works for me! </can of worms> 73 Kyle Yoksh K0KN Olathe, KS Allstar 2210-2219 ex-IRLP 3348 ----- Original Message -----

Or am I s.o.l. with an irlp node on my A* box? I think I'm understanding that requesting a new irlp node / pgp keys from the irlp people is outta the Q? but not sure if adding irlp capabilities is completely outta the Q? I'n the AllStar world.

You can re-integrate chan_irlp if you are so inclined. I have done so and it works. I have actually done so using Ubuntu as the base operating system. I started with an install of Ubuntu 10.04 Server. Next I checked out the latest SVN of Allstar. Then I down graded app_rpt to SVN revision 854 (I think, I don't remember at the moment) and grabbed chan_irlp and irlp.conf from the same revision. Then I compiled it all and configured. As far as IRLP goes, I created an install script to install from a backup onto the Ubuntu OS. You can look at a blog post on the website: www.alaskareflector.org It has a link to the IRLP install script and some simple instructions to get started. There is one minor issue: The audio level coming from Allstar will fluctuate intermittently. It seems like it happen more when there is a small amount of packet loss from the source. So, during a QSO, sometimes the voice goes really quiet. Then when the packets catch up, it goes back to normal or louder. I have played with the jitterbuffer settings thinking that might help, but so far it hasn't. It's almost like some sort of automatic gain that is getting messed up, but I don't think that feature is in this version of asterisk. But, I digress. You can listen for yourself on the Alaskan Reflector IRLP 9070 by going to node 27597. Enjoy! Mark WL7NI On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 8:59 PM, K&R Yoksh <yokshs@gmail.com> wrote:
