Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorIf you can access the web ui simply delete the callsign and log out. When you log back in, you will be presented with the wizard again. Otherwise it’s pretty simple to reflash the SD card.

June 25, 2016 at 8:15 am in reply to: RepeaterLogic: Ignoring DTMF digit "#" since the repeater is not up #1851Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorThis is a common response when you send dtmf tones while the squelch is not opened. Have you wired up a pin for the COS gpio? When pull low it will open the squelch, when set back to high (3.3v) the squelch will close and you should hear the courtesy tone if you have one set.

Aaron, N3MBHForum Administratorvader7071,
Yes and no. You would need to ports, basically double everything including two rx and two tx radios on the respective bands. As the software is right now, you would need to hack it to your needs. You will need to read into svxlink config and follow the knowledge base article about doing so. So I guess it’s a matter of how savvy you are. Hope that helps.73,

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorSorry for the late reply, I’ve been dealing with a crashed hard drive. I don’t have a rig blaster, but looking at their site it doesn’t look like most of them have an integrated sound card. The only one does is the RIGblaster Advantage. The others would require and external sound card which would seem pointless. Most devices that do include the sound card and PTT control usually have a generic sound card, a usb hub and a usb-to-serial converter. So one USB cable that splits out to two internal devices: sound card and usb-to-serial converter for PTT control. I would imagine that the sound card portion would be auto detected, but there would be drivers required for the serial chipset for PTT control. So right now you might be able to use the sound interface portion, but would still need some external circuitry to interface to the GPIO pins for COS and PTT. At least until the right person comes along and writes a drive. Hope that helps.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorSorry for the late reply, I’ve been dealing with a failed hard drive among other things. There shouldn’t be an issue with the with the image for the Pi. I can imagine it is probably one of 2 things. You are using the software vox and it is not setup properly. I don’t really recommend that. Or if you are using the COS pin, then you might not have a proper pull up resister set to keep the pin value from floating. If the pin value floats and stays close enough to ground then you would experience what you are describing. It is usually best to test your circuitry outside of ORP and directly with Debian via the /sys/class/gpio structure and make sure the values are changing properly there. Hope that helps.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorGreetings,
This is out of the scope of OpenRepeater itself, but you might be able to config the SVXLink core to do what you desire. This also seems to be non-ham related, so you would need to be careful what voip services that you use. Obviously Echolink would be out because it requires you to a ham and use a callsign. Also there is a risk with inadvertently connecting into other ham networks. I would encourage you to look at the SVXLink documentation to as I believe it has it’s own voip linking option. You may be able to set it up that and instead of rx and tx radios, substitute a hand mic and speaker. It would take a little work, but it might just work. Hope that helps.73,

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorThe svxlink core will support this. It just takes time to build extra functionality into our web GUI and the code to make the config files. In the meantime you can modify to your own needs.
Take a look at this KB article that briefly describes how you would make the modifications. https://openrepeater.com/knowledgebase/topic/custom-svxlink-configuration
In that article is a link to the svxlink man pages. Hope that is of help.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorSorry for the late reply, I was “off the radar” for a bit.
My guess is either you input audio is not properly adjusted either coming from your receiver or in the alsamixer. I would check this and ensure that it repeats voice in a satisfactory manner while watching the log. Then check your DTMF tones. Also make sure that you are depressing the tones long enough. It may have problems detecting shorter tones. Tone muting is also hard coded into the file that builds the config. Your squelch also needs to be opened (i.e. by COS) otherwise the commands will be ignored. You should see this reflected in the log.
Many of the codes are hard coded into the core and various modules, but I am working on at least being able to define the numbers for the modules in the future…so Echolink could be initiated by say 8# instead of 2#. If you have a shortened DTMF sequence you would like to use, SVXLink has a macro feature, but that is yet to be built into the ORP front end.
Take a look at the man page for SVXLink to see what is available, you can always modify your install yourself to your liking. See the overview in the knowledge base on this.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorGreetings Stefan,
Yes, it appears to be supported in the core logic we use (SVXLink), we just do not have the UI support built into the web app yet. Thanks for post, as I will come back here an probably eventually work that feature in to the front end.If you would like to customize the code your self you can to support it. Here is some general guidance on what to look for:
The general setting/configuration variable can be found in the SVXLink documentation: http://svxlink.sourceforge.net/man/man5/svxlink.conf.5.html
To customize the file in ORP that builds the svxlink configuration file you will need to modify some PHP. We have a general tutorial on this here: https://openrepeater.com/knowledgebase/topic/custom-svxlink-configuration
You should have some understanding of PHP as that file builds strings into variables that get written in the configuration files. So you can hard code that section into the repeater logic section.
Hope that helps.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorThe cause of the hum is probably caused by your TX radio. It is either desensing your receiver or causing RFI on your audio lines. Proper shielding and filtering is a must. That is why same band repeat without duplexers is almost impossible.
