I have been experimenting with running allstarlink rather than hamvoip on the node. The node works perfectly using hamvoip.
I have installed asl 2.0 beta soon to be prod release and have dvswitch , supermon, dvswitch monitor, monitor, echolink,allstar,and dmr brandmeister all working fine . I do have one issue that I can not figure out how to solve. When I use any of my radios to connect to the adhari node running hamvoip, transmit and receive as well as access thru the internetbwork great. With allstarlink, everything works EXCEPT the radio receives fine from allstarlink, but transmit from the radio to shari node running asl does not work - it’s like shari hears nothing from the radio. If I monitor the transmission on another rafio, I can hear both tx and rx on the other radio. It’s like shari is deaf.
If I simply put the other micro ssd back in and boot shari with hamvoip, all works ok except of course dmr.
I am thinking that it may be something in simpleusb.conf but not sure.
Can you help ?
I would be happy to send logs conf files or even give you access to node
If I can get this working with allstarlink, it would be great product option to allow analog access to brandmeister, other dmr services like nxdn etc,as well as echoink and allstar. Great competition for clearnode at a much lower price with better and more features and functionality.
Are you friends with Jim Earl by chance (K6KCP)? If so, I chatted with him this morning about your issue and he should be sending you an email later with a copy of his simpleusb.conf file to try.
You also may want to check the following in simpleusb.conf:
ctcssfrom and carrierfrom
for most configurations, setting ctcssfrom=no and carrierfrom=usbinvert should do the trick, but you may have to play around with those. The options are no (don’t use), usb (look for high COS) and usbinvert (look for low COS).
After you make changes, you need to restart asterisk.
Yes, I’m good friends with Jim Earl and he’s been helping me debug my RX issue. He sent me his simpleusb.conf but I haven’t had a chance to compare them yet. The configs I’ve compared so far are very different from his so it’s a bit of work. Things are moved into different places in the file so it takes more than just a side-by-side comparison. I’ll pay close attention to ctcssfrom and carrierfrom. Thanks!
Thanks for the pdf link, N4IRS. That’s what I’ve been using for guidance, but the menus don’t match up. My SimpleUSB-tune-menu, for instance, has only 11 entries, while the sample has 22:
active (command) USB Radio device is [usb_55310]
1) Select USB device
2) Set Rx Voice Level (using display)
3) Set Transmit A Level
4) Set Transmit B Level
E) Toggle Echo Mode (currently Disabled)
F) Flash (Toggle PTT and Tone output several times)
P) Print Current Parameter Values
S) Swap Current USB device with another USB device
T) Toggle Transmit Test Tone/Keying (currently Disabled)
W) Write (Save) Current Parameter Values
0) Exit Menu
I have been using option (2) Set Rx voice Level, but when I key my HT and speak into it I get no activity on the display. Hoping that it’s something simple that’s misconfigured in simpleusb.conf as opposed to a hardware problem.
