tdukes Posted October 27, 2022 Report 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
MichaelLAX Posted October 27, 2022 Report Posted October 27, 2022 Just curious: how will you use an Allstar network if you are not a Ham? Quote
MichaelLAX Posted October 27, 2022 Report Posted October 27, 2022 I found these discussions; which might be helpful to you: Modifying the UV82 for Allstar Modless interface of a Baofeng Radio to Allstar Modifying a Baofeng UV82 for use with ALLstar Quote

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

These people are actually connecting the radio to a URI or a DIY URI. Both have CM1xx sound card inside. Quote
tdukes Posted October 27, 2022 Author Report 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
