  2. Running Node on Raspberry Pi 4/Modifying Hamvoip

    I searched and figured out how to fix the issue.  You need to edit (I installed verison 1.7 of hamvoip.org so the folder might be different for you) /srv/http/allmon2/astdb.txt

    It's going to take me a while to create this file, since I have to go through every node on the network to get the information...  Here is an example: 

    ; NODE|CALL SIGN|FREQ./DESCRIPTION|LOCATION

100|myGMRS Network|Nationwide Hub|Dallas, TX
169|myGMRS Network|Midwest Hub|Midwest, IA
172|myGMRS Network|Northeast Hub|Albany, NY
174|myGMRS Network|Southeast Hub|Atlanta, GA
175|myGMRS Network|Southern Plains Hub|Oklahoma City, OK
176|myGMRS Network|Southwest Hub|Las Vegas, NV
177|myGMRS Network|Mountain Hub|Boise, MD
21211|WRUS599|Orlando 575|Orlando, FL
24222|WQGU515|Williamsport 675|Williamsport, Lycoming County, PA

    I got everything sorted out, all I need to do is finish editing this file.  On the rc.updatenodelist I just added an "exit 0" after the $WGET -q -O /var/lib/asterisk/rpt_extnodes_gmrs https://link.mygmrs.com/nodes

    It would be nice if mygmrs.com had a way of querying the database and returning us this information.   ?

     

    I haven't had the time to update this file, it takes a while since I have to go to the node on the map, and click on it to find out the owner (to get call sign)..

    Example:  https://mygmrs.network/map/21211 and after you click on the repeater name, it shows you the owner and when you click on it, you can get the call sign..

    I am maintaining this file at https://xtreme-toyz.net/astdb.txt

    I attached an updated astdb.php that pull this file.

    If you would like to help maintain it, please send me the info NODE|CALL SIGN|NAME|LOCATION like shown above.

    Thanks!

  3. GMRS repeater without duplexer, antenna distance

    in Technical Discussion

    Posted

    Thank you for the clarification.  I will be buying the duplexer then.  Makes total sense, that way I can go higher on the antenna and achieve more reach at, let’s say, 40ft @ 15 watts notched vs dual antenna, having one lower to isolate and having to run expensive coax to not even be close to “acceptable loss”

     

    My Vertex VXR-7000 came with its own duplexer and I now understand why.  Cable, antenna and wire expense (distance in wiring) vs the duplexer, it’s a no-brainer to go with duplexer.

    I was having an issue at with the rc.updatenodelist - my issue is listed above and the fox I did for it.  But node not in database hasn't worked, everything else has been fine.

    I have the same issue with node not in database, I have added the info in the /etc/asterisk/local/privatenodes.txt but something must still be missing

    Is your rc.updatenodelist timing out also?  I have a lot of these processes running at the same time, does not look normal, the version on the image on myGMRS exits and doesn’t hang…

     

    EDIT:

    I don't use asterisk with HAM so I added an "exit 0" after it queries the rpt_extnodes_gmrs and moved on....  Still need to figure out how to show in the database on supermon...

    Is "pacapt" the package you want?

    Disregard, I was trying to install it on the wrong sdcard.

    I do have an issue....  (not AutoSky related, AutoSky is working)  I can't connect to any node.  I did notice the rc.updatenodelist just sits there until it times out.

    Also, on rpt.conf, there is a 1999 = radio@127.0.0.1/1999,NONE     <-- is this needed?  I removed it...

    Here is what I get on supermon allnodes:

      Private Node 21211 => Node not in database   lsNodes  
      Node   Node Information Received Link Direction Connected Mode
      Could not login to Asterisk Manager.

     

    * I just realized, when I downloaded the image, it's version 1.7, does it need to be version 1.6?

    I noticed a folder changed, /var/www/hml/supermon is now /srv/http/supermon

     

    EDIT:

    I figured out my problem....  password had a & in it...   I still have a problem...   ?

    I am still getting "node not in database" error...   I pointed to the _gmrs file but it's not giving me a list when I click on LsNodes

  13. Repeater access requests.

    I completely agree with this.  Plus maybe it would be good to allow users to mark a site as “non-responsive” if they don’t respond to requests.

    +1 on this.   I requested access (on an open system) just to "follow the rules" on the repeater list, but I still use it since the owner hasn't logged in for 7 months now...  Good repeater too in the Orlando area, covers 30 miles and that's good for a place with no hills, only some tall buildings downtown.  Not sure where this repeater is located, but he must have some good elevation...

    Requiring a tone for the receiver of a repeater is normal to limit what gets re-transmitted. 
    Having no tone on the repeater transmit side is simply a choice. 

    Gotcha.  CTCSS can be found receiving anyways.  The one that's harder to find is the transmiting one, you have to be near someone transmitting to it.

    I think he's worried because on the FCC website says "In transient use, a mobile station from one GMRS system may communicate through a mobile relay station (repeater) in another GMRS system with the permission of its licensee." but nothing is enforced, it's not a rule or regulation of Part 95 - Subpart E... It's just encouraged.

  20. Help with VXR-7000 Repeater setup

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Sorry to revive old thread...

    I just bought one of these off of eBay, when I received it, plugged in to LMR600 cable and a Tram-1486 antenna.

    Right as soon as I power it up, it flashes FE on the channel display.  Any ideas???

    I would also like to know how to program a normal channel and also a repeater to use it as a base/station.


    Thanks!
