How long does an Allstar node stay connected till it times out? Or, can you leave an AllStar node connected permanently? Is there a way to connect to a group of nodes? Are there the equivalent of YSF, DMR, and D-Star Reflectors that you can connect to using the AllStar system? Can you set up your own AllStar Reflector, if that a Reflector exists in the AllStar system?

It shouldn’t time out, but sometimes if the connection is unstable it will disconnect. Try a permalink. Look in your rpt.conf for what DTMF does cop 13 and cop 11. 13 permanently links and 11 disconnects your perma link

Do you have parts list and plans for the dual baofeng model you built in a can? I like the look and want to build one of these. Thank you in advance!
@SkylerF8 ай бұрын
Unfortunately I don’t. I built this many years ago and did it mostly just by trial and error when I was picking resistor values etc. I would recommend the hamvoip website with some of their baofeng guides as a starting place

can anyone tell me if two local repeaters can be linked using Allstar in permanent mode??
@Jeremy-W0JRL4 жыл бұрын
Edit: Replace cop,13 with ilink,13. Oops!... Edit2: You can use ilink,11 to unlink. (See 'functions' section of /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf.) Yes, you can link two nodes together permanently using ilink,13. Have a look at /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf in the 'functions' section. 73, Jeremy [W0JRL] (Developer of RasLink)

@KD0WHB @SkylerF at about 2 minutes and 30 seconds into this video or so you show a portable full duplex kit that you built using two low-cost radios and a Raspberry Pi and a few other items... can you please elaborate on how you built this kit or send instructions? I would really like to build a similar setup using two inexpensive radios and a Raspberry Pi and whatever else is needed and join the AllStar link network. Really cool video, thank you for making this and sharing it with all of us! Thumbs up! 73s W3TCP

@Jeremy-W0JRL4 жыл бұрын
Yes, you do need a USB sound card. It doesn't matter whether you buy a professionally made one, or you build one yourself. Unfortunately, AllStar cannot drive internal sound chips such as realtek. It has to be a CMedia branded chip. You can use either the CMedia-108 (both A and B variants) or the CMedia-119 (both A and B variance). 73, Jeremy [W0JRL] (RasLink developer)

Im trying to connect a second node, and it wont connect to any hubs that i normally use, it comes up as the same ip address as my previous one, is possible thats I need to assign it a static ip? And if so how do i doi that? Im using allstar 1.5 obviously.

Yes easily! You can create command macros or shortcuts under the macros section of the rpt.conf file. You can run a string of DTMF, bash commands and more using macros.

Why don't they make an Anrdoid client so people can connect to AllStar without having to carry a radio with them and be near a node? If everyone used Android clients we wouldn't need radio at all... and we can call it Skype ;)
@SkylerF8 жыл бұрын
They don't make an app for it, but you can use the Zoiper app to connect via Iax to an AllStar node. You can also use the EchoLink app if you setup your AllStar node with EchoLink. I'm all for mixing computers / internet, (unlike the IRLP project) but taking the RF out of it completely would take the fun out of it ;)
@rbtx998 жыл бұрын
My opening comment had a degree of sarcasm in it. IMO, the fan has already been taken away by AllStar. If I want to speak to a radio amateur in Australia I can join an Australia ham group in Facebook and chat to them or arrange to Skype them. The fun of radio is the achievement of actually reaching Australia with your own equipment, not the Internet.

Sure... Yes, you can do a lot with a cellphone... but also, you can't randomly meet retired engineers and professionals, and get started in a career just by talking on a cellphone dialing random numbers. I don't mess with this Voip linking over amateur radio as much anymore, but thanks to my interest in high school, I got internships at White sands, lockheed martin, and have had other radio jobs and have not even graduated college yet.
