[arm-allstar] Help For A Newbie???

Dan,

  You sure seem to have some strange problems going on there. Are you using duplex=1 in rpt.conf? If that was set to 0 you would not get any telemetry (audio) feedback.

Again use the Asterisk client to troubleshoot. If you watch the screen when you enter *81 or *80 do you see it decoded? Do you see the response being sent on the screen? 

You can also enter commands in the client -

rpt fun node *81     - where node is your node number and *81 can be any command you would normally send DTMF.
Here is what you should see with *81 -

rpt fun 1998 *81
    -- <DAHDI/pseudo-870621363> Playing 'rpt/goodmorning' (language 'en')
    -- <DAHDI/pseudo-870621363> Playing 'rpt/thetimeis' (language 'en')
    -- <DAHDI/pseudo-870621363> Playing 'digits/11' (language 'en')
    -- <DAHDI/pseudo-870621363> Playing 'digits/50' (language 'en')
    -- <DAHDI/pseudo-870621363> Playing 'digits/6' (language 'en')
    -- <DAHDI/pseudo-870621363> Playing 'digits/a-m' (language 'en')
    -- Hungup 'DAHDI/pseudo-870621363'
    -- <DAHDI/pseudo-100706253> Playing '/etc/asterisk/local/node-id' (language 'en')
    -- Hungup 'DAHDI/pseudo-100706253'

You may not see the ID as that was tacked on because it had not ID'ed in awhile. You would see the same response using DTMF sending *81 and of course while you are seeing this it should also key your node radio transmitter and send the voice.

Doug, more progress, I think…   I made the change you suggested in simpleusb.conf and ran simpleusb-tune-menu again.   Things look better there.   I used the ‘F’ command to send audio from the Pi out over RF, and it sounds good. I am able to link and unlink to nodes using *1 and *3.    But, when I’m sending commands I never get any voice feedback.  It doesn’t tell me I’ve linked or unlinked.   Commands like *80 and *81 seem to cause the Asterisk AMI to do something, but I never get a key up on the radio.   I wondered if it was somehow a configuration issue in getting audio out to the right device.  But, the ‘F’ command in simpleusb-tune-menu does give me audio.
