Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorSorry I missed the notifications on your reply. Still sounds like a bad image or burn if you are say it is coming out to about 260mb on the card?
If you are saying the checksum is matching on the zip file, then can I assume that you zip file is approximately 1.3GB zipped and around 8GB unzipped (IMG file). That would give me a better indication that you have a good file.
As for imaging software…cannot say I’ve heard of Rufus. My preferred burner is balena Etcher. It is cross platform and the free version does a good job writing cards. The paid version I believe gives you reading options.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorHello Allen,
2.2.x is a version that is working on some background code rewrites in preparation for the new 3.0.0 UI which is also being worked on the side as well. The plan is to marry the two codes sets, so 2.2.x might never be released publicly but rolled into 3.0.0.It may or may not have any noticeable benefits…depending on what you are trying to do. It can certainly be built from our build script and run. So far it seems to be stable, but it is a working code base and can and might change.
I am currently working on my imaging script that I use to build images. Once I have that done, I will likely be releasing a 2.1.3 release. That will basically be the same as 2.1.2, but with an updated kernel to support the Raspberry Pi 4, 8GB…as that came out after 2.1.2 and there have been a few that have had issues when trying to run on that particular board.
If you are up to testing 2.2.x or have a specific need to use it, let me know. If you see something that 2.1.2 doesn’t let me know, and I will let you know if the base code for 2.2.x has support for that.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorHello Chase,
If you are saying that the SHA checksum is not matching, that would be my first concern. Note that the checksum should be made on the compressed zip file as it is downloaded and not the uncompressed IMG file. There seems to be some occasional issues where the download may time out and not fully download. 2.1.2 should be about 1.3GB zipped up as I recall. If it has stopped, you should be able to resume it in most major browsers: https://openrepeater.com/knowledgebase/topic/problems-downloading-image-file73,

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorHello Todd,
I will send you a email with an invite into another channel where we can discuss that. Thanks.73,

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorHello Matt,
Possibly…
It appears the RA-35 from Masters Communications is a similar device to a DMK Engineering URI or a USB RIM Lite using a modified sound codec to extend it’s GPIO pins. Is that correct?
If so there has been some development progress made in the 2.2.x backend code to support this. I don’t have plans to roll it out until the 3.0 redesign is completed as I need to have UI elements to allow configuration to the average user. But initial testing has been positive.
So far I have only tested this with the DMK Engineering URI and USB RIM Lite but other CM108/CM119 devices should work. On the SVXLink side the support for this only handles a couple pins and they refer to them as Hidraw devices.
COS Pins Supported:
VOL_UP, VOL_DN, MUTE_PLAY or MUTE_RECPTT Pins Supported:
GPIO1, GPIO2, GPIO3 or GPIO4I’d have to verify that the pins on CM119A chip for the RA-35 schematic match up to the expected functions pins supported above. If so than support for the RA-35 should be possible in a future release, unless you’d like to try the development code with some guidance.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorHello Eric and welcome to the forums. DTMF would be easy with the relay module, but I think I follow what you are asking for. No there is no inbuilt functionality for ORP like this or for SVXLink (the core system) that I am aware of. ORP is pretty much a UI wrapper on top of SVXLink that builds desired configurations. I think it may be doable with a custom module. SVXLink uses modules and ORP modules are essentially an SVXLink module structured a certain way to help make it installable as well a settings UI page and code files that help ORP build the proper config files. The SVXLink module portion is written with TCL. You may be able to take the ORP Remote Relay module and use that as a base for a new module. I guess it would probably need to run as a daemon like the TX fan module and have a code loop in it that would count squelch open/closes within a certain time frame and based on the count activate a certain relay function. In theory it sounds possible…it’s just a mater of coding it.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorSounds like what you need is to enable/configure log rotate. I haven’t had the need to do this myself. Don’t think my log gets that massive.
I’m not where I can provide details or do any testing. Just search for log rotate on Raspbian Buster. I think I remember seeing a recent change where the it’s controls by systemd now instead of a cron job.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorGood to hear. You would need to edit the following file: /var/www/openrepeater/includes/classes/SVXLink.php
In version 2.1.2 you’d edit line 153. Changing it from:
‘DTMF_MUTING’ => ‘1’,
TO
‘DTMF_MUTING’ => ‘0’,Note that this is in a PHP array format so it’s important that you maintain quoting and commas as shown. There is another class function that will process the arrays into the INI format when it writes the config files.
This will make this the same behavior for all RX sections for each port. Once you save that, just make a change in the UI to initiate a rebuild/restart and it will write out a new config file. You can ‘cat’ the file from the command line if you want to verify the change.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorGlad to hear you got a solution to get the DTMF routed around. But it sounds as if you a are doing a work around.
Did you in fact get the DTMF to pass from one port to the other after editing the file. If it seems to be reliable at a basic level, then you can make other mods to make it more permanent and prevent it from getting overwritten. That’s what I was trying to hint at. The changes would need to be made in a PHP file.
I’ve considered doing something similar to make up a solution for those that want Allstar. Until we can fully develop support of Allstar, I was considering making a tutorial on how to setup Allstar with a Pi, a 2 port controller like the ICS 2X board and something like the DMK URK. The URI would basically loop back through the 2nd port on the 2X board.
I was having some issues getting Allstar installed on the same system as ORP, and haven’t had a chance to revisit that. I may have to opt to use two Pi’s for the time being. One for Allstar and one for ORP.

Aaron, N3MBHForum AdministratorI think I’d let Dan comment first to see what thoughts are since you seem to indicate it is not an issue on different hardware.
