From the ASL-MENU, NODE SETUP, I add a node and enter the information. When I go to ’ interface tune CLI ', it must restart asterisk. Then when I go back to ’ interface tune CLI ', the new node is not there, it cannot be selected? I see that ’ rpt.conf ’ seems to have the node added, but ’ usbradio.conf ’ does not.
From the node setup menu, what “Radio interface” type did you set for the node?
I selected usbradio for the type, like the node I am already running for my repeater
Q? does the usbradio.conf have stanza’s for both nodes?
If so, do you have two different “devstr =” values?
… and does the tune menu’s “1) Select active USB device” help in any way?
Usbradio.conf DOES show a short second stanza for the new node. The is NO second ’ devstr = ’ values. The ’ tune ’ menu only shows 1 active node, no way to select a second node.
One more question : does the asl-find-sound command find both audio/sound adapters?
Yes it does:
wb2hkk@node42690:~ $ sudo asl-find-sound
1-1.2:1.0 → 0d8c:013c C-Media Electronics Inc.
1-1.4:1.0 → 0d8c:013a C-Media Electronics Inc.
Active USB Radio device is [42690].
Please select from the following USB devices:
- Device [42690]
- Exit Selection
Enter make your selection now:
NOTE: I have NO radio connected to the second URI yet. I am just testing how to add a second node.
First off, I have reproduced the reported problem !
I have also created a GitHub issue to track the investigation (and fix).
As a workaround, you can use the asl-find-sound command to get the device strings for each of your USB adapters. The “usbradio.conf” file should have a “devstr = …” setting for each node. Update the missing value(s), restart asterisk, and you should be good.
YES, that did work. The second device, also a repeater, may have different parameters than the first. I am unclear how to edit both ’ usbradio.conf ’ and ’ rpt.conf ’ to reflect that. In ’ ASL-MENU ', once ’ usbradio ’ is selected, there needs to be a submenu for editing these files for it to work. Or at least a mention to go and edit these files.
With “asl-menu” / “node-setup” you select the node you want to review/update. Any changes for that node (e.g. channel driver, duplex, etc) will be just for that node.
The “tune” settings currently require an extra level of awareness. Despite the fact that you were viewing one selected node the tuning does not automagically select that same node. When you start tuning the start of the displayed text should show :
Active Simple USB Radio device is [1001].
1) Select active USB device
...
Option #1 allows you to select between the devices associated with your nodes. For example :
Active Simple USB Radio device is [1001].
Please select from the following USB devices:
1) Device [1001]
2) Device [1002]
0) Exit Selection
Here, you will select the node/interface, review/update the settings, and “Write (Save)” any changes for that interface.
