I know it is not a allstar/app_rpt subject. But it is pretty damn close. I have a 900 mhz repeater that went up this week end. node 49530 It is at a very nice place 1000 foot over the sea level facing the St-lawrence vallée au the base of the laurentian montain. from simulation with radio mobile we can see that it will cover about 60% of the most crowded part of the province. The repeater is a Quantar and I just cant thank enough the ham that provided me with the schematics to hook up the URI to the repeater and the code plug that helped me set it all up. Now I have this connected with a raspberry pi 3. All is working great. good audio but a hissing noise all the time. That is comming from the radio itself.. Dont know much what to do about it.. Anyways.. thats not the question. Anyone have been able to create a serial connection from a linux machine, to lets say the quantar repeater, then send that to a remote client (windows machine) so that a windows software ( quantar rss) could read that serial port as local port. I know there are commercially available serial port to ethernet converter and loading a small software will create a virtual serial port for the target software to connect to. But since the raspbery pi is allready there, why not use it.. I could directly use the serial i/o used for the console and connect it to the quantar. or at worst use a usb to rs-232 converter and use it to connect to the repeater. (this wont be available on the net directly. I will need to use a SSh tunel to have acces to it. So anyone know something about this? Pierre VE2PF
Pierre, There was just an article in QST about how to do something like this. The remote end, will have a Pi with ser2net installed. your end, at the comfort of your home/wherever, will have com0com, or similar. I'm fittin to try this same thing with radio programming. have a gander at this here link: http://com0com.sourceforge.net/doc/UsingCom0com.pdf Benjamin, KB9LFZ Quoting Pierre Martel <petem001@gmail.com>:

Thanks Benjamin, The worst is that I knew about com0com. But never ever think it would work with ser2net. I will have to check a few things but I do hope to make it work soon. Le jeu. 6 août 2020 à 11:57, <benjamin@project23d.com> a écrit :

Check out remserial: http://lpccomp.bc.ca/remserial/ The one thing I will mention here is the need for a firewall to restrict these services if you want to leave them running. It's likely best to ssh to the pi and enable/disable it as needed due to this. In most cases there's no security, anyone punting packets at your server can connect to the serial port. Along with this, logging tends to no be via syslog, so if you want to run it as a service, it's best to figure out a way to dump it's stdout/stderr into syslog. 73's -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
I already had the intention of using ssh tunneling to connect to the port. That is one of the best function of putty. I use this to connect to a single opened port to enter a whole group of computer behind a firewall. Le jeu. 6 août 2020 15 h 32, Bryan Fields <Bryan@bryanfields.net> a écrit :
