I have had this working for quite a bit of time now, but as of about a week ago, it may have been an up or something else, the status light is a solid blue in color and won't blink at all. I have emailed Jon at Allscan and he thinks everything is setup ok, but yet something happened to prevent it from working. The FT8800 acts as crossband, in UHF, out VHF

I have checked the radio and it is setup per allscan, so I am only guessing at the moment maybe an update caused it to stop working? I have attached the rpt.conf, modules.conf and usbradio.conf in hopes maybe something happened or updated in one of the files and someone might be able to let me know what I need to do.

Thank you and 73

Looks like you are running the dev release, could you try switching back to the "normal" channel and confirm it works (aka this is a problem with the dev release?)

How the heck did I get a dev release? lol not sure how that happened.

How would I get back to the normal one?

Thank you and 73

How would I get back to the normal one?

sudo asl-repo-switch main
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --reinstall asl3-asterisk

Also, can you check the /var/log/asterisk/messages.log file for any interesting messages? and check the /var/lib/asterisk directory for any "core" files?

DId I do something wrong here?

sudo apt install --reinstall asl3-asterisk
Reinstallation of asl3-asterisk is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.

My bad. The command I provided would have apt try to reinstall the same version. Try :

sudo apt install asl3-asterisk="22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-1"

Not found :slight_smile:

sudo apt install asl3-asterisk="22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-1"
Package asl3-asterisk is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Error: Version '22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-1' for 'asl3-asterisk' was not found

You can use the apt list -a asl3-asterisk command to show the available versions. I was thinking (hoping) that you could leave off some of the prefix/suffix characters but since that didn't work I'd suggest that you try :

sudo apt install asl3-asterisk=2:22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-1.deb13

Ok, that seem to try it, but now these errors

sudo apt install asl3-asterisk=2:22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-1.deb13
Solving dependencies... Error!
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Unsatisfied dependencies:
asl3-asterisk : Depends: asl3-asterisk-config (= 2:22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-1.deb13) but 2:22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-100.deb13 is to be installed or
asterisk-config-custom but it is not installable
Depends: asl3-asterisk-modules (= 2:22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-1.deb13) but 2:22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-100.deb13 is to be installed
Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Error: The following information from --solver 3.0 may provide additional context:
Unable to satisfy dependencies. Reached two conflicting decisions:

  1. asl3-asterisk:amd64=2:22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-1.deb13 is selected as a downgrade
  2. asl3-asterisk:amd64=2:22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-1.deb13 Depends asl3-asterisk-modules (= 2:22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-1.deb13)
    but none of the choices are installable:
    • asl3-asterisk-modules:amd64=2:22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-1.deb13 is not selected for install

You likely need to install asl3-asterisk, asl3-asterisk-config, and asl3-asterisk-modules … all with the specific version

I think you are also jumping from a bit older verison?
One thing that is for sure missing in the modules.conf:
require = bridge_softmix.so
There may be others. Take a peak at the default app_rpt/configs/rpt/modules.conf at master · AllStarLink/app_rpt and make sure the "load =>" ones are in your file.

I think one critical item was missing above:
Note the -l
sudo asl-repo-switch -l main
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --reinstall asl3-asterisk

Actually: Just look here:
Beta Testing - AllStarLink Manual

This is what I get

All packages are up to date.
Reinstallation of asl3-asterisk is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
Summary:
Upgrading: 0, Installing: 0, Removing: 0, Not Upgrading: 0

Did / can you try (this really long command) :

sudo apt install asl3-asterisk=2:22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-1.deb13 asl3-asterisk-config=2:22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-1.deb13 asl3-asterisk-modules=2:22.9.0+asl3-3.9.3-1.deb13

If that doesn't work as-is, add --allow-downgrade to the command before the package list.

That worked, system completely working again.

Thank you for all of your help.
