Hi Steve,
I am running a EVB base system--centos 5 and 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 kernel. I
updated asterisk to a hand-compiled version (1.4.21) using the latest
app_rpt and chan_usb code from Xelatek's SVN....Maybe I'll back down to
the ACID release.
The URI's are plugged directly into the PC, and 2 of the 3 seem to be
working fine--other than I can't connect the extensions together. The
TKR-850 (set internally in duplex mode and is asterisk extension 111)
works as a repeater, and accepts DTMF commands, etc....And, the remote
base (currently a IC-706mk2g, extension 222) also accepts DTMF commands,
etc....But, when I try to connect these units (using *3<node>), I get a
lock up....
I reduced my extensions.conf file to the below for testing:
---------------extensions.conf---------------------------------------
[general]
static=yes ; These two lines prevent the command-line interface
writeprotect=yes ; from overwriting the config file. Leave them here.
[radio-secure]
exten => 111,1,rpt,111
exten => 222,1,rpt,222

David,
First off, I just learned something myself about adding extra radio
ports using USB fobs: They must be added one at a time.
Second, there should be no USB hubs between the FOB's and the PC's USB
ports.
Finally, what type if linux install is this? ACID, EVB, custom?
I'd suggest restoring the configuration back to one radio port get that
working, then add and tune the ports one at a time.
Steve,

Hi Roger & Steve,
Well, I'm making progress. I've noticed a couple more things I thought I'd
mention. First, I've got a strange situation where I can only properly
access 2 of the 3 URI's I have attached to the PC....Initially, I only
plugged 1 URI in and couldn't get it to work at all (though the green LED
was blinking)....Then, when I plugged in a 2nd URI, the first started
working (with my TKR-850)....Today, I found that the second wasn't
functional....So, tonight, experimentally, I plugged in a 3rd URI and
both of the original 2 are now working. Strange.....Perhaps this has
something to do with udev? Anyway, this isn't holding me up at the moment.
The second issue is more troublesome. I can't get the repeater to link to
the remote base....When I issue the connect command: *2(node number), the
controller says it's linking both on the console and verbally. But, then
it seems to hang totally with the TX enabled from the end that received
the commands. I've tried this both ways--repeater to remote base (commands
from the repeater) and vice versa. I end up having to kill -9 the asterisk
process to regain control--"stop now" from the asterisk console
hangs...This should work, right?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Steve and Roger,
Thanks so much for the assistance. I'll give it a try today and report
back. I think most of my questions are now answered.
