Current installation (all compiled from source onto Debian Etch): Asterisk SVN-branch-1.4-r93420M app_rpt.c v. 0.86 12/05/07 chan_usbradio.c as at 20070918 xpmr.c as at 20070914 ******************************* 1. I regularly experience either one-way or no audio in connections to/from the radio interface. This is true with iax-rpt or IAX soft clients, both originating and terminating within my LAN or through a router from external IPs. The transmitter keying always works. I often see one-way audio when making Asterisk IAX calls that do not involve app-rpt. I am aware of the SIP/RTP/NAT issues but I am referring only to the IAX protocol. Any involved routers have 4569 forwarded correctly. There are some comments on Asterisk sites that refer to this problem, possibly limited to v. 1.4.x, but nothing definitive. 2. There was a posting on this list that mentioned that both rpt.conf and usbradio.conf should have the same 'duplex' parameter set (0 in my case). I do not see 'duplex' in the example usbradio.conf file. Should 'duplex=0' be set under [general] or [usb] in that file? 3. The autopatch 'on' code (*6) produces the following when dialed: NOTICE[27546]: chan_usbradio.c:1774 usbradio_read: Got DTMF char * NOTICE[27546]: chan_usbradio.c:1774 usbradio_read: Got DTMF char 6 ioctl(ZT_LOADZONE) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device WARNING[27900]: app_rpt.c:4452 rpt_call: Unable to set tone zone us Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-1547130459' Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-721434464' Is the ioctl error an issue with the CM108 interface? I have 'tonezone=us' set in rpt.conf under my node stanza. I did not see this parameter shown in the distribution example rpt.conf file. Should the tonezone be set elsewhere? I have read through all archived postings, svn repos, and related websites but cannot find answers to the above. Any guidance would be truly appreciated. Allstar Link node number assignment is on request. Finally, I notice that with discriminator audio fed to the CM108, (and the radio tune parm's set) the DSP squelch is always very loose. DTMF is decoded properly but CTCSS decoding does not work at all. I have reverted to the hardware COS option. 73, Dave VE7MQ.

Update asterisk and libpri zaptel to the latest stable "tarball" releases mentioned on asterisk.org. 2. Grab the latest SVN of chan_usbradio.c and all the files in the xpmr directory at: https://www.xelatec.com/viewvc/app_rpt/asterisk/trunk/channels 3. Grab the latest SVN of app_rpt.c at: https://www.xelatec.com/viewvc/app_rpt/asterisk/trunk/apps/ 4. Download the initial asterisk configuration files from; http://limeylinux.org/downloads/configs.tar.gz There are 4 directories underneath the main directory inside this tarball. There is one directory for each of the hardware platforms supported. Use only the files in the usbradio directory and the top level directory. Put all files in /etc/asterisk. Request for node number assignment: You have been assigned node allstar node 2140.

The rxnoise test shows zero audio. 1. Please post your usbradio.conf file to the list. 2. Can you measure the top of the voltage divider with a scope to see if there is noise there during the time you are running the rxnoise adjustment? > > The written instructions say that the end of the resistors that are > twisted together get connected to the white wire and that the loose end > of 68k goes to ground and the loose end of 470k to pin 3 (I'm guessing > to RX Audio from radio) > > The picture shows the white wire (black in the picture) is connected to > the loose end of the 470k while the loose end of 68k is connected to > ground and the twisted end to pin 3. The wiring in picture is incorrect, the wording and the xgematic are is correct. You would still get audio with the incorrect wiring, it just wouldn't be at the same level as when wired correctly. > > I don't know if this has been talked about before, I gave up searching > through the archived manually.

Maybe the logic is backward. If its decoding dtmf so thats Good. I had to remove the voltage divider for my radio as some radios have really strong disc. outputs others are more sedate. Measure the audio voltage, if its not way too hot, then run it strait in the fob sans the divider. Also make sure your audio going into the fob isn't squelched. One repeater I interfaced into the audio was still preemphasized and was squelched. That made it fun for adjusting levels. (MSR2000). It was wired for an NHRC-2, so I changed the pinout of the 9pin to that spec, so the controllers are interchangable. I am building a dtmf decoder for the control freq so I can s 0 On a side note, I'm still fighting a ground loop between the PC and the receiver. I have 60hz hum, only on the receiver, the transmitted audio is fine. They are on the same outlet, I added a 1:1 audio balun on both the tx and rx audio lines. I ran a ground strap between the chassis of the repeater, the PC, and the main ground bus. That all helped, but still hear the hum. I remove the usb interface connector and use the backup controller (NHRC2), no hum. Weirdness....

I presume the Schottky diode (CM108 pin 48) was specified due to its inherently low junction voltage. However, in my case, the receiver COS still did not drop low enough to generate switching. I replaced the Schottky diode with an NPN transistor (collector to CM108 pin 48, emitter to ground, base to the receiver COS source through 10K). Of course, this introduces a COS polarity inversion with respect to the CM108. The inversion is corrected by changing the 'carrierfrom=' polarity selection in usbradio.conf. One further point: The pin spacing on the CM108 is 0.5 mm. The wire diameter of resistors and diodes is about 1 mm. I found it easier to attach 28 AWG wire-wrap wires to the chip, nail down the wires with hot-melt glue and attach the specified components to the far ends of the wire-wrap.

I also use a short piece of wire wrap wire to get to the pins. It is fun soldering to those points. Luckily they are on corner pins and in the case of the current batch of green USB adapters the COR point (VOLDN) has a big pad. Of course you could just buy one of the new URI devices ( http://www.dmkeng.com/Products.htm) :) 73, Steve Henke, W9SH On Fri, Feb 15, 2008 at 1:44 PM, David Powell-Williams < dpowellwilliams at shaw.ca> wrote: > A general FYI to those contemplating use of the USB FOB interface with COS > generated by hardware, as opposed to dsp: > > I found that my receiver did not drop its COS line all the way to ground > potential in the no signal condition.

Update asterisk and libpri zaptel to the latest stable "tarball" releases mentioned on asterisk.org. 2. Grab the latest SVN of chan_usbradio.c and all the files in the xpmr directory at: https://www.xelatec.com/viewvc/app_rpt/asterisk/trunk/channels 3. Grab the latest SVN of app_rpt.c at: https://www.xelatec.com/viewvc/app_rpt/asterisk/trunk/apps/ 4. Download the initial asterisk configuration files from; http://limeylinux.org/downloads/configs.tar.gz There are 4 directories underneath the main directory inside this tarball. There is one directory for each of the hardware platforms supported. Use only the files in the usbradio directory and the top level directory. Put all files in /etc/asterisk. Steve WA6ZFT ********************************************* Steve: I followed your suggestions and recompiled with: Asterisk 1.4.18 Zaptel 1.4.8 Libpri 1.4.3 Chan_usbradio SVN rev 391 App_rpt SVN rev 416 Things are much improved, as you predicted. The one-way audio seems cured. I note that the audio levels through the USB FOB interface came up by about 20 dB in each direction, requiring a recalibration with radio tune. I also noticed that if Linux is rebooted with the FOB installed, the 2.6.22 kernel grabs the FOB as its primary audio device in preference to the normal sound card. As we all know, Linux reboots are a rarity but, unless one wants to play moh over the radio, it seems best to plug the FOB in after Linux is up and before Asterisk is started. If anyone else is recompiling Asterisk with chan_usbradio and app_rpt, I have made up a cheat sheet that may be useful. It can be obtained for the price of an email. Thanks very much for the pointers. I'll get my assigned node number plugged in and look forwards to hearing you and the other Allstar Link members. 73, Dave VE7MQ.

Where udev breaks down is when you have multiple USB or Zaptel devices of the same type. The load order in these cases can be unpredictable.

Steve's (W9SH) distro that uses EasyVoxBox on top of Centos is a wonderful option if you want something quick and easy. It will make your radio stuff work very nicely. God help you though if you want to use it as a phone switch also. It marrys you to using their very hard to follow gui poop for configuration, which I have a really hard time following. Honestly, I have, several times, not been able to help people solve very simple telephony-related problems because that whole gui thing made the config completely huge and impossible to follow (part of it was that I couldnt get to the gui, I only had ssh access). This is just my personal opinion and experiences. Im sure that people that know the gui would completely disagree with me. Im not sure Id blame them.

I will be putting this node in a completly mobile setting so I will need to get the box up and running with a existing distro and get networking functional via usb serial first (it's enough bandwith...I've connected to allstar link over iax on this interface before.)

A preference was expressed toward centos or fedora and I'm just asking if one distro actually makes getting an asterisk/app_rpt system running and the administration thereafter any easier over another or is the preference more along the lines of some people like chedar cheese and some like provolone.

With the caveat that distro selection is also a somewhat personal choice: I have compiled Asterisk and the app_rpt, usbradio suite of programs successfully on Debian (Etch). I have found little value in an X windowing system with these programs, although I recognize that many GUI add-ons exist for Asterisk. It's just that they don't seem relevant in the context of radio linking. The nice things about Debian are: the apt package manager and the guarantee that security bug fixes will the only changes to the stable distribution. My experience with apt has been much more satisfying than with rpm/yum. Another advantage is that Debian adheres to the Linux File System (LFS) layout whereas Red Hat derivatives have some peculiarities. If you are dedicating a PC to Asterisk and radio linking, it seems like unnecessary overhead to use distros such as Ubuntu/Kubuntu/SuSe which primarily target the desktop user. Finally, and I don't want to raise any hackles here, the RH derivatives have had a rather chequered support history over the past few years. RH has gone primarily into the commercial market, Fedora has come and mostly gone, leaving CentOS as the best RH derivative choice presently. HTH & 73, Dave VE7MQ.

Wires fall off because there is no good way of attaching them reliably. I developed the software for this thing using those, and I cant tell you how nice they were to have (although annoying because of the numerous times a wire would break), but I am now OVERJOYED to have a real, physically reliable device with real connections solderable by a real human being. If a difference of $60 or so is in any way significant to you, then by all means modify the generic fobs. We went way out of our way to ensure that the software/technology would work identically regardless of whether you bought a "real" one or modified a generic one.

In addition to Jim's warning about the physical difficulty of modifying these FOBs, I would add the comment that the internal sound chip must be the CM-108.

Make sure you set the usbradio.conf to use an external COS/COR as it will not be able to use squelch noise.

When I dial out... using a SIP trunk to lets say FWD. I do not get a ringing on the repeaters output... I am not sure how I would add ringing... However I will do some more research in my Asterisk Manual. The problem with the constant key was that the USB's Radio Tune RXSQUELCH on the simplex radio was not properly adjusted... once I did the appropriate adjustments... the repeater now only keys when the simplex radio is receiving (while they are linked). To give you a little bit of background, I have an Intel MINI-ITX system I built from scratch... I have installed internally 2 USB FOBs.
