Outstream huh?

Now we’re talking! Ever tried this?

Hi,

Stick this in your rpt.conf…

outstreamcmd=/bin/sh,-c,/usr/local/bin/lame --preset cbr 16 -r -m m -s 8

–bitwidth 16 - - | /usr/local/bin/ezstream -c /etc/ezstream.xml

You will need lame and ezstream obviously…

All,

Has anyone come up with an elegant solution to snag a copy of the

audio streams to and from a repeater in order to send it to Radio

I expect it is possible with Alsa, but honestly my brain turns to mush

when reading through their documentation.

Thanks guys!

Buddy and Chris both helped me out and it seems to be working fine.

Now to work though the learning curve…

Message-ID: 1371355119.1896.4772.camel@benjamin-hp

Greetings All,

While thinking of a way I can turn my node into a portable allstar node,

it has been discovered the computer I’m using, generates RFI/EMI over

the DC power connection.

The setup is as follows presently, which has zero known EMI/RFI

issues. The radio is powered with an older linear 3A regulated power

supply, which a parallel connection to a 12V 18Ah battery. All leads are

kept short, under two feet. The radio is kept on 5W.

The computer has a 12Vdc connection, and it’s presently using an ac/dc

SMPS, one that can be bought on eBay for about $10.

Both of these are plugged into the same outlet strip, and as stated,

zero discovered EMI/RFI issues.

The radio audio connections to the computer have the center conductors

isolated with a 10nF cap.

Just as soon as I decide to power the computer from the battery, the

radio has noise across every tunable frequency. Even if I disconnect the

radio completely from the node, there is noise on the radio. From what

is apparent to me, the noise is coming from the computers internal power

supply section, riding the power wires back to the battery, and then to

the radio.

I see there are plenty of EMI/RFI filters I can purchase. However, I’d

like to maintain the Amateur Radio Spirit of creation for this case, so

I’d like some pointers on what I should test for, and construct some

EMI/RFI filters.

I have seen there are common mode and differential mode chokes filters,

and some filters have both kinds of chokes. I’m not really sure the

difference, besides the way the components are installed in the circuit.

If you find it better to talk in person, contact me via allstar or look

for my phone number on the internet.

Perhaps a:

RadioShack? Snap-Together Ferrite Choke Core (273-105)

might do the trick, or maybe a:

Snap Choke Core (273-069)

or something similar.

And...if you have...do you have an example ezstream.xml file?

That, to me (may be my thick french-canadian/irish head getting in the
way...) is the issues I've been having.
