<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#000000 face=Tahoma,sans-serif>Neil,<BR><BR> I
will try to answer some of your questions.<BR><BR>First of all the BBB or RPi2
images are complete ready to go Asterisk Allstar systems except for
configuration. The setup script which you ran at the first boot takes care of
just about all of the configuration but there are a few things that are unknown
like the radio you are using that effect the configuration.<BR><BR>When you
connect a radio with a USB adapter you need four signals. Audio in and out, PTT,
and COS and of course ground. The COS line is an indication from the
transceiver's receiver that there is a signal present. It can go either high or
low on signal acquisition. This signal is connected to pin 8 of the DMK
URI assuming that is what you are using. Then you have to configure the
carrierfrom= line in /etc/asterisk/simpleusb.conf to either
carrierfrom=usb if the line goes high on signal or carrierfrom=usbinvert
if the line goes low on signal.<BR><BR>The default is usbinvert which means it
should function properly with no radio connected but of course you would not
hear anything.<BR><BR>Once you establish a correct connection of COS and
assuming everything is connected correctly you can go on to setting the levels.
You do this with simpleusb-tune-menu (the one you mentioned is for
usbradio which is not used on the BBB) <BR><BR>I think there is a rather
complete setup how-to on the hamvoip.org web page which talks about this so
please refer to that. I believe you are getting confused by reading other
information on the web about Allstar which does not pertain to the BBB or RPi2
installs. All the information you should need to get it up and running is on the
hamvoip.org website. <BR></FONT><BR><B><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 16pt" size=4>73

allstar node<BR><BR>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I am following the asterisk instructions to build my
first node 41838 I am using a beagle bone black with
asterisk v 1.2.1 I have run the first time script successfully and
also did the config questions ok. I chose option 1 for a simplex system. after
rebooting I get no audio output at all. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>after doing some reading I came across something about
running a radio-tune-menu ? since I have never used linux before what do I type
to do this step?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>also I am using a simple c-media cm108 audio fob as the
radio interface. I also tested the audio fob using my pc and headphones
successfully</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I also noted that the bbb and raspberry pi instructions
do not cover this step for a asterisk build. thanks in advance for all the
upcoming help and tips.</FONT></DIV>
