[arm-allstar] APRS

Sat Aug 18 21:05:25 EDT 2018

Hello to you,

I have one of my colleges tells me, that even you must have a radio to connect to your repeater with 144.39Mhz

I thought my NODE 1400 145.130Mhz with its asterisk that everything was ok, only the configuration in Asterisk
that I needed to add, as we did together:

load = app_gps.so
and add the gps.conf file

; Configuration for app_gps
;
[general]

call = ve2luq; callsign (including SSID) for APRS purposes
password = xxxxxxxxx; Password for APRS-IS server
comment = AllStar Node 1400; Text to be displayed with this station
server = rotate.aprs2.net; APRS-IS server to report information
port = 14580; port on server to send data
interval = 600; Beacon interval in seconds
icon = r; A CAR (default) Icon for the APRS display (see below)
; comport = / dev / ttyS0; Serial port for GPS receiver
baudrate = 4800; Baud rate for GPS receiver
;debug = y; set this for debug output
freq = 145.130; Display Frequency of station
tone = 100.0; CTCSS tone of station (0.0 for none)
lat = 46.1344359; Fixed latitude in decimal degrees
lon = -71.2263340; Fixed (default) longitude in decimal degrees
elev = 123.4; Elevation of Antenna in Meters (* NOT * HAAT)
power = 1; Power level (see below)
height = 2; Antenna Height in HAAT (see below)
gain = 3; Antenna Gain (see below)
dir = 0; Antenna Direction (see below)
