AllStarLink ASL Version 3 RELEASED!!

[@arthurtwoshedsjackson6266]

Just set up my own node in the U.K. A few days ago I had zero knowledge of ASL3. Having watched this I have some knowledge of what I’m doing. Thanks 👍

[@HamRadioCrusader]

@@arthurtwoshedsjackson6266 Thank You for the kind words!

[@davidmann6893]

Thanks for the help yesterday. Great video. I have my allstarlink node up and running! Thanks again!

[@paularcher128]

Much like the Radio Ham below, I have just built an RPI5 SHARI Node and never used allstar before and this video has been a great help, thank you

[@HamRadioCrusader]

@@paularcher128 it’s been my pleasure 73

[@ChipEckardt]

I find it hard to believe that this video has 1,500 views but only 112 likes. How hard is it to hit the like button? This is good stuff!!!

[@KN4VA]

Awesome sir. I am glad ASL reached out you to bring this to the ham community. Looking forward to your next videos and learning more. Guess I am going to be a little busy here soon. I think every node I have built has been HAMVoIP based. 73

[@EduardoHernandez-kf4hh]

Thanks so much for your time 73

[@ChipEckardt]

This was exceptionally well done. Thank you. For others he talks about what this version does at the end of this video.

[@HamRadioCrusader]

Thank You for the kind words

[@chrissmart9761]

Thanks for this video. I subscribed to your channel too. Now, as a Hamvoip user, I hope this HUGE ASL update gives David the encouragement he needs to get their next version out too.

[@WatcharinNakkhaw]

Thank you very much for creating educational materials to help amateur radio operators improve their communication skills.

[@don_n5skt]

Thanks Freddie. I was able to get it going using this video though the 1.3 version is different in several places. But the information was here and I appreciate the clear instructions.

[@tulrich2]

Looking forward to getting this working at my QTH! One question: have they changed anything about how ASL connects to a radio? Like, could one use a DigiRig or a CM1xx USB fob without modifying it?

[@stevebeegle7350]

Very good, I will be replaying this video when I'm setting u[ my node. Thank you!

[@stevebeegle7350]

Subscribed!

[@HamRadioCrusader]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@wassman27]

Huge improvement, especially for new allstar users. Should make configuration much easier.

[@HamRadioPortableOperations]

This is excellent.. Super excited to move my personal nodes and a local gateway to this in the coming weeks. It looks great and much simpler rounded setup! Thanks ASL 👍 I'll be looking forward to seeing more videos from you on this as well. Thanks Freddie 👏👍

[@dwgelle]

Thank you Freddy. Getting it going. Just need more of your tutelage. Con't figure how to save edits to the config and ini files and change ssh number.

[@HamRadioCrusader]

Can you elaborate a little further? what config files are not saving? and Which ini files?

[@dwgelle]

@@HamRadioCrusader well, I think i figured out where I needed to use sudo and or sudo with nano. Been using winscp too much with supermons. I got it now I think. THanks. Waiting for more of you videos!

[@marsradio]

Thank you folks for all you do!

[@HamRadioCrusader]

Thank You for the kind words

[@russellwatkinson]

Installed this morning - looking good - thank you 🙂

[@ChipEckardt]

You have to click Administrative access to allow software updates to check/install.

[@ChipEckardt]

The instructions in this video were amazing. Got my node up and tested and running in no time.

[@RCVinyl]

Hey Freddy, I realize this is not tech support, but just wondered if this has happened to you or anyone else. I installed ASL3 and everything has been working fine over the past couple of days. Now, when I go to connect to a node (Allmon) it displays "Ok" but my radio doesn't key. This happened about a week ago and I ended up wiping the SD card and reinstalling everything and it worked just fine, so I know it's not a connection issue. I'm using an Alinco mobile (RIM-Alinco interface) to a Pi4. Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar. On another note, I'm having a blast configuring the new node and adding some of the additional features (short squelch tail, Skywarn Plus), but obviously this issue has been frustrating. Note that I have run this same setup with HamVOIP and haven't experienced this type of issue. Thanks in advance and 73.

[@microrecording]

Awesome! Thanks for the good work...

[@africantwin173]

Will there be a ASL Proxy server availible. Becuzz most hams want to use AllStar node from their 5G Hotspot. Without a Proxy server or cloud server, HamvoIP, and ASL are useless when using it / mobile.

[@pietanzaanthony]

Do you have an instructions on how to shutdown an Allstar 3 node using DTMF?

[@HamRadioCrusader]

Actually working on that one

[@ItsTheRandomKiwi]

EPIC Video, thanks for the detailed setup, this works great and I'm up and running! I'd give you more likes if I could ;)

Hi Freddy on what menu number I have to go if I have to add my mobile hotspot wifi and thanks for the excellent videos 👏🏻👏🏻

[@the_mad_swimbaiter455]

Thanks for the intel and video! I am working on getting my SHARI piHat with Unistorm case and pi4 up. Your video was easy to follow and the links to the 3.1.0 DL was clutch as the github is lagging as of 0330 CST 30JUN24. How do I set the CTSS tone and radio frequency? I THINK I am doing things right? I just cant find that selection in the ASL-Menu now.

[@the_mad_swimbaiter455]

You know what, I RTFM and solved my problem, for SHARI guys use SA818-menu in the terminal to set-up your hat. easy-peasy

[@kq4ccm_kevin]

Thanks brother great video as always

[@North49Radio]

Great video, thanks so much! How long does it take to check for the updates? Mine is taking forever.

[@41SouthNZ]

By any chance have you got the Remote Node app to work with ASL3 yet?

[@mariocabana6507]

I follow all your videos which are very informative.. I installed ASL3 which works very well, but I try to connect another node permanently to my ASL3 and it disconnects itself after a certain time. I put a macro at startup which works well but it also disconnects. I don't experience this problem with hamvoip. Maybe an idea !

[@HamRadioCrusader]

I would put in a travel ticket with the All-Star link guys. This is a weird one.

[@kjbathe]

I can't recall... Why do we use HamVOIP instead of ASL? And with version 3, do we still need to? 🤔

[@WB6OZD]

HV arguably had a simpler install process and menu setup. Not so any longer and the tech advancements with ASL3 make all prior versions obsolete.

[@kjbathe]

Thanks for that succinct answer. 👍

[@daveborchard2019]

Which radio option for the Shari PiHat-4U?

[@daveborchard2019]

I was using HamVOIP with my Shari PiHat-4U, and it was working properly. I’m trying ASL3, and it’s not clear which radio interface to select. I tried “SimpleUSB” and “”USBRadio”. I don’t know what the default frequency that ASL3 uses for the Shari PiHat-4U. I couldn’t find an option selection for the Shari PiHat VHF or UHF version. I couldn’t find the configuration for the receive and transmit frequencies. Either I am missing something, or the ASL3 is incompatible with the Kits4Hams Shari PiHat-4U.

[@N8EI]

Others are using SHARI units just fine. Should work fine with SimpleUSB. If you need to configure the chip (which is only necessary once) use sa818-menu.

[@chuckdockery6540]

Following along with your tutorial, I am attempting to use a TYT TH-9000D with the RIM-Alinco adapter. When in terminal and using the ASL menu item "Interface tune CLI option 2 i get no reading from radio when keying mic. The red light indicates I am transmitting on the RIM-Alinco and the raspberry Pi green light will blink when I unkey. The radio and Pi are connected with the supplied (from repeater builders RIM-Alinco) USB cable. Obviously, I am missing something. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

[@HamRadioCrusader]

@@chuckdockery6540 is the interface cable on the 9000 pinned to the same configuration as the RIM-ALINCO?

[@chuckdockery6540]

@@HamRadioCrusader I am assuming your asking about the USB cable from radio to Pi. It is the supplied cable that came from repeater-builder. From repeater-builder: "This cable plugs into the radio's internal option connector and adds a DB-9 female to the rear of the radio. This DB-9 is pinned the same as the Alinco DRx35 series radio and can be used with the RIM_Alinco (above) for use with AllStar/HamVoIP."

[@HamRadioCrusader]

@@chuckdockery6540 No, the cable from the motherboard of the radio to the DB-9 connector of the radio. Is it wired to match the pin out of the RIM-ALINCO?

[@chuckdockery6540]

@@HamRadioCrusader Ok, that must be it. Looking at the schematic from repeater-builder I did not modify the Rim-Alinco. That is what I missed. Thank you very much for your time. When I do the mod and test I will let you know.

I have a Shari pi hat node, does this work in that instance? I just got this up and running last weekend , so new to the platform.

[@HamRadioCrusader]

Yes it will work with the Shari

[@mosierbuild]

@@HamRadioCrusader Thank you Sir, Used your video to set my Shari up and it works great... Still playing with all the settings and learning the Supermon2 that I just followed your video on this week. And then I seen this one. Going to wait a few for this one until I am a little more familiar with the system. Maybe LOL.

[@ON3PLZ]

I am no longer able to see the RX level... Any idea what the issue would be?

[@HamRadioCrusader]

@@ON3PLZ Sounds like ASL is not communicating with the sound FOB. What equipment are you using in your setup?

[@ON3PLZ]

@@HamRadioCrusader Shari PI and several HT dialed to the frequency. Everything was working fine and then... I am considering reinstalling everything and restore...

[@HamRadioCrusader]

It’s worth a try for sure. Sometimes the microSD card can get corrupt for many reasons. One of the biggest reasons is an improper shut down of the device. So I recommend to always go through the menu either through the web interface or in the SSH session to do a proper shutdown.

[@ON3PLZ]

@@HamRadioCrusader Actually I contacted the person that sold me the hat "PiShari"and it appears that ASL3 update caused the issue. Before saying anything, I will install HamVOIP and test.

[@ON3PLZ]

@@HamRadioCrusader I installed HAMVOIP and it works. So the update messed up something.

[@leskeegan9033]

.It looks like they have made ASL easier to configure. Might have to try it out. I might just build a hub node with it when I get my shack build finished.

[@HamRadioCrusader]

Les...... You won't be sorry

[@jdp1956]

Is there a script I can use to shut down my node running ASL3 via DTMF tones instead of having to use the cockpit ? I just don't want to pull power and risk getting some kind of corruption in my files. Thank you !

[@HamRadioCrusader]

I’m researching that now

12:11 is the most important part of the config. :)

[@jamescanada4994]

So how do you download the new version as your video just talks about pointing to it on your computer when creating the image but dose not give details on how you got that file or how you downloaded it. A very important step if you ask me, If I go to github do you have to have an account in order to download version 3 ?

[@HamRadioCrusader]

The link to download the image file is in the video description. repo.allstarlink.org/images/pi/

Very Good Thank you, never thought to look there :) was just following along with the video. Looks great Going to try and update my node and try the new version.👍👍

[@redmountaincomms]

My web page is not working when i tried it ssh and everything else worked

I have noticed that sometime the local host name may conflict with a specialized home network. Lookup the local ip address of your node and type just that ip address into your browser and see if that works.

Hi! I followed your instructions and got my node running on Ethernet. I am using a Pi 5 and when I burnt the image included my Wifi said and password.
