One for Skip. I installed tlb on my IRLP node to start the process of converting it to run tlb, instead of native IRLP software. When going through the ...
Do they really have the cm108 chip in or not? A friend of mine purchased some similar from Dealextreme, they were claimed to be CM108-chip versions but...
... #################################### Changes in version 0.39, Feb 14 2009 ... 5. Added a new port configuration variable RepeaterPort to cause a permanent...
... And I ordered some of a different "brand" from DealExtreme, and they never arrived. I've been too busy to care about the $20 lost. I'll stick with...
... I don't understand something...okay, make that lots of things. I saw the pictures of the add on board in the Syntor X. How is the frequency/PL programmed?...
... OK, that's not helping, How does thelinkbox know which ports are the receiver and transmitter? This is the part I can't see, because I'm defining one...
... Yes. Tlb speaks the Doug Hall protocol via GPIO lines on the iMic's USB chip. The Xcat also speaks Doug Hall and is connected to those GPIO lines. So......
... Sorry. It means *THIS* port is a repeater. It ties the current port's receiver to it's transmitter. There's nothing magic it's just initialization, you...
... So it just passes audio from the Rx to the Tx via tlb? Hmm, why didn't it show the port as linked to itself when I did a .link with this set? Might be...
... I take it the GPIO lines on the imic are documented and can be followed so I can duplicate the working unit. And I take it the gpio lines then drive the...
... Yes, but they are quite difficult to solder to. I'd also put the iMic external to the Syntor or shield it the next time. I hear a few birdies here and...
So the recent thread about the Xcat reminded me of a project I've be fiddling with which is a DDS crystal replacement for crystal radios. Since I don't know of...
... Could be useful. There's still a number of good rock boxes out there (like the Tx side of my repeater), that would benefit from this. 73 de VK3JED /...
I would love a few for my stack of Miterks. And I have some Yaesu rock bound repeaters. I have been waiting for a product called Flash Crystal; it seems to be...
... You have mine, but you might want to look at this: <http://www.expandedspectrumsystems.com/prod7.html> It's interesting, but it's got a few shortcomings as...
There is an easier solution. Take a GE MPA HT, it has a TX (10w mit. power brick) that will reliably program down to under 100mw, usually down to 50mw with...
Hey Gary, I keep meaning to ask you, and since you brought it up... Do you have any notes on how you actually do that mod to the vehicular adapter? I have one...
Nate; You need the enhanced charger, there are two models. I use the basic charger for a TX. The enhanced just needs a discriminator output, as the COR or...
After some discussion with Skip, I'm considering working on another version of EchoIRLP, version 1.5, alongside 2.0. EchoIRLP 1.5 will be more like the current...
... One serious concern with using a DDS crystal replacement is the poor SFDR with many DDS devices. With the AD9835 clocked at 50MHZ and producing a 13MHz...
... As I said I haven't tried this chip yet but for our work project we used a AD9832 and at 250kHz direct off the DDS it was quite noisy... We implemented a...
... Found the problem, turned out I was loading the wrong port configuration from tlb.conf ... Also, is tlb capable of muting the audio path when there is no...
... The idea is a good one, but painful to implement as a low cost solution. More than likely, the device will need to be capable of generating signals from 10...
... Not discouraging at all :) I've also tossed around the idea of only using one dds board and switching it from TX to RX but since I have no idea what each...
Crystals are cheap and simple. Things we all need more of in life, honestly. The maintenance requirements of my club's eight GE MASTR II repeaters, are...
... The main reason for this was my lo-band royal exec, since in my mind 6M wasn't any fun without a VFO :) But the principal can be employed to many...
I have the alpha version of EchoIRLP working on IRLP node 6390 (VK3RTL-R). So far, everything seems to be working. I have tested outbound connections to...
I've just released a beta of OpenWRT for Little Blue which includes a new Web based configuration and control interface. It doesn't quite eliminate the need...
... Looks good. Can't wait to get my Little Blue. :D Hmm, wonder if I can get IRLP (well, the tlb based EchoIRLP v2 w/ IRLP) to run on it. Just replaced the...
