Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorI am not sure what you did and have not background. I looked at your screen shot. It may be simpler to start with fresh image and reimages your SD card. See if that works.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorI haven’t had a chance to directly test Jerry’s approach above, but thanks Jerry for your response. Keep in mind that any directly modifications to the SVXLink config file will be overwritten if you update other settings in the GUI. You can try it just to test it out. If you want to make the changes permanent, use this tutorial and modify the PHP files that write the config files: https://openrepeater.com/knowledgebase/topic/custom-svxlink-configuration

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorHello Martin,
I am working on a new “module” framework for the next version. The parrot module should be supported in this. I don’t have a time table for the release yet. You can simply modify the PHP files that build the config to enable this module. You just need some knowledge of SVXLink and PHP. See this KB article: https://openrepeater.com/knowledgebase/topic/custom-svxlink-configuration73,

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorThat seems to be a viable option too. As opposed to a UPS this will only provide power buffering to the PI where a UPS can support other devices if you need calls for that.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorSounds good, and glad you made some progress. You can check out the availability of the SVXLink Card here: https://shop.f5uii.net/en/ They tend to do group orders and are working on their second order now.
A full schematic of the SVXLink card can be found here: https://openrepeater.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/schema_svxlink-rasp2015.pdf
If you want to build it yourself. It is done in a block format so you can tweak the design to your liking.
Right now ORP is still in development and is experimental so it still requires some knowhow and a willingness to tinker to get things to each persons own likings.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorSure, but I can’t tell you exactly how to do that with your setup. It will depend on your router, if you have a static IP address from your ISP. If you want to point a domain/sub domain or a Dynamic DNS service at it. There are a lot of variables involved. Some ISP might also block port 80 or port 443 (used by SSL) for https which openrepeater uses. You might have to do a little bit of trickery to make it happen. Like from the public side access port 7300 and point that to 443 on on the internal network. Then you would have to type in something like https://111.222.333.444:7300 to get access to that port and have it function like a regular 443 port.
Another option would be to use a service like Weaved (https://www.weaved.com/raspberry-pi-remote-connection/). You’d have to install some extra packages on your RPI, but they do the network translation for you. You might also have to reconfigure the web server for ORP (nginx) to use port 80 instead of 443 if SSL doesn’t work.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorGreetings,
As far as DTMF control that would be part of the SVXLink core. I don’t recall a command that is build it. Might look to add a module in the future to do this.Right now there is no feature built into the Web GUI to disable repeater. That is in the plans though. For the time being, you can us SSH. See this KB article on how to get in: https://openrepeater.com/knowledgebase/topic/connecting-via-ssh
Now to do this remotely, you would need to open the proper ports and handle all the routing to suite your needs. SSH is on port 22. Once you are logged into the command line you can simply issue the command “service svxlink stop” or “service svxlink start” to start and stop the repeater logic.
Hope that helps.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorSome audio latency is to be expected as it is doing a A/D conversion, processing the audio, then doing D/A conversion. I don’t think I’ve heard of it being that slow.
As for the audio distortion, that sounds like it could be overdriven audio on either the receive or transmit side. You might be able to determine that by other audio. You said the EchoLink audio sounds fine, so that would lead me to believe it’s on the RX side. If you have a speak level output going into a mic level input on your sound card (even with the isolation transformers) you can easily clip the audio or possibly damage the sound card.
If that is the case you would probably need an inline attenuator circuit. I believe the typical difference between line level signals and mic level signals is about 1000:1. A speaker output into a mic input could be even greater.
I’d try taking your USB sound card and plugging it straight into your PC. Use your audio recording software to test the recorded audio from your RX. Then while you are at it you can play back a know good file to your TX side and check that independently. That might help you narrow down you circuitry and if you have any hardware issues with you sound card.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorA small UPS would be simple also to condition the power as well as provide backup power to other accessories. Some have USB connections on it. I am sure there is probably a Linux library out that that could interface with a UPS if desired and issue a safe shutdown when the UPS is reporting the end of it’s battery.
