tdukes Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 So, I've been trying to setup a small Allstarlink network. I was looking for a source that I could purchase a modified USB sound FOB. Not much luck there and my micro-soldering skills are not so great. I just don't have the eye sight to do this. I contacted Repeater-Builder and asked if he had anything or knew anyone that had anything like what I needed. He said he felt sure his RIM Lite would work. I told him I could do the radio part of the soldering. I also showed him a pic of one of the guys node radio that I will be connecting to with his Maxtrac board on a Baofeng 888. He still said he thought the RIM lite was the better way to go. So, I got the board and the radio soldered up. I tried using simpleusb but it's not working. Error messages show the connection to the RIM Lite dies, reconnects and dies, over and over. I tried the usbradio setup but have errors there as well. Simpleusb: [Oct 26 10:30:45] WARNING[3421] chan_simpleusb.c: Loaded parameters from simpleusb_tune_usb_1501.conf for device usb_1501 . [Oct 26 10:30:45] WARNING[3420] chan_simpleusb.c: Possibly stuck USB read channel. [usb_1501] [Oct 26 10:30:45] WARNING[3420] chan_simpleusb.c: Nope, USB read channel [usb_1501] wasn't stuck after all. Usbradio: [Oct 27 05:51:05] WARNING[1088] channel.c: Exception flag set on 'Radio/usb_1501', but no exception handler [Oct 27 05:51:05] WARNING[1088] channel.c: Exception flag set on 'Radio/usb_1501', but no exception handler [Oct 27 05:51:05] WARNING[1088] channel.c: Exception flag set on 'Radio/usb_1501', but no exception handler [Oct 27 05:51:05] WARNING[1088] channel.c: Exception flag set on 'Radio/usb_1501', but no exception handler [Oct 27 05:51:05] WARNING[1088] channel.c: Exception flag set on 'Radio/usb_1501', but no exception handler From the Allstarlink WIKI on modifying the UV-82, to the DB-9 on the RIM Lite: PIN 2 =====> Mic In (RX) 3 =====> COS 5 =====> PTT 6 =====> Audio Out (TX) 8,9 ====> Gnd Hopefully someone here can help. I can't post my questions on Allstarlink.org as I'm not a Ham and no response from Repeater-Builder. I'm close, but no cigar. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelLAX Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Just curious: how will you use an Allstar network if you are not a Ham? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not planning to use the Allstarlink network per se. myGMRS uses it to run their netowork. Just a few modifications are all that are needed to setup a small group of nodes. You don't need a registration server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people are actually connecting the radio to a URI or a DIY URI. Both have CM1xx sound card inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdukes Posted October 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 I'm doing this now with Zello but I hate VOX. It cuts off the first part of a conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
