<div dir="ltr">Hi Steve,<div><br></div><div>I am currently working an a proof of concept Allstar node using this Dorji Module. I just got the module on the air as Allstar node 29061. I used a modified FOB and the DRA818U module. The module works well and has nice audio and running 500mw.</div><div><br></div><div>I did have issues programming the device. Any commands sent were responded by an error command. I found an Arduino Library that I thought I would try to help determine the root cause and see how someone else programmed the module. It also gave the same results and I was afraid that the module may be bad. I added a CONNECT command to the library to see how that would respond. After adding the "AT+DMOCONNECT\r\n" command prior to other commands, it work as it should, not it's not clear why.</div><div><br></div><div>I am currently using the Arduino Mino Pro 3.3V to set the module settings and it's seems to be working just fine. I plan to use the Arduino as a simple interface to program and setup the module. Ultimately, I would like to use the BBB UART modules, but the current kernel does not support the cape manager and the addiontal UART modules are not part of the overlays.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is a pointer to my project notes and an image of the current project:</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://www.w0anm.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=allstar:allstar_nano_node_project">http://www.w0anm.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=allstar:allstar_nano_node_project</a></div><div><br></div><div>I still need to complete the 3.3V power supply and complete the documentation.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for adding the URL docs to your email. I have not see some of the app notes so it may give me an insight to why I had issues.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>73, Chris, w0anm</div><div><br></div><div>(Allstar node 29061, 29062)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 25, 2014 at 1:18 PM, ssedgwick <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ssedgwick@suddenlink.net" target="_blank">ssedgwick@suddenlink.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div>I saw these VHF and UHF voice transceivers modules talked about on another
VOIP Yahoo group a couple weeks ago. After looking at the specs, I see
they are based on the RFIC RDA1846 transceiver IC chip. Looks like a way
to make a nice portable hot spot when tied to the BBB and the fine work Doug and
others have done with Allstar. I’m not a programmer, but I wonder if it
would be possible to interface these modules to a BBB and be able to program the
RF freuqency, PL, DPL, etc using touchtone commands, or if that’s not possible
to program via ssh? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here’s a couple links to DRA818 modules and also ebay listings for both the
VHF and UHF models.</div>
