I have found that if I mix SimpleUSB nodes with USBradio on the same server, it messes things up. Like if I use “simpleusb-tune-menu” to set up a SimpleUSB node, then use “radio tune” under the CLI to set up the USBradio node, things get fouled up and the registration gets lost or something.
So, does anyone have any experience with running a multiplicity of USB nodes of SimpleUSB and USBradio on the same server?

Stupid question just for my curiosity. Why do you run both channel drivers?
I think you should be able to run both. Of course you have to do a two node set up as described here: https://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/Two_Nodes_on_One_Server. Be very careful how you name each. You can’t have one node with rxchannel=SimpleUSB/usb and another node with rxchannel=Radio/usb. Do something like rxchannel=SimpleUSB/usb1234 and rxchannel=Radio/usb5678. Commonly the numbers I show here are replaced with your node number.
Thanks to you, wise sir, for replying. I usually don’t use these chat rooms or whatever, but I have become somewhat stymied. I prefer face to face encounters.
I wanted to use both flavors of driver because I already had two nodes running on SimpleUSB. I went to add a third, for my 900 MHz repeater that I finished.
I wanted to do Allstar PL touchtone control using USBradio, just for fun.
After being shredded by big rabbit teeth, I found out my error. I had misplaced my statpost_program statements, so that none of the node stanzas were calling it. I only put one call in the end, thinking it would magically find it for all three nodes.
Sometimes this sorcery of the necromancers totally befuddles me. For, I am weak of mind, and grey of beard.
Once I had placed a statpost_program inside each node stanza, node statistics started to flow like fresh wine from new wineskins.
These statpost_programs MUST be safely enshrouded INSIDE each node stanza, proper. That is my lesson.
Now, I am off to get my USBports to settle, and my nodes to all link harmoniously. Then, I can go about building more things that light up and make noise in the attic.
Thank you, Tim, the enchanter.
God Bless,

Tim, the enchanter will show you the way, but beware…
Are you adding a third node to the other two? Did the WiKi page help any?
I hope the the DSP functions of Radio/usb work out well for you, my friend.

You are becoming wise in the ways of the mighty wizard, he who’s name was Jim Dixon, may he rest in peace. But beware intrepid one, for viscous beasts with big gnarly teeth lie beyond. May you find solace here where the enchanter resides.
