I have a question regarding the location of Custom Scripts. Do they go into the following location /home/irlp/custom if they do, do I then use a line like the one below in the custom_decode file # if

The timer is based on PTT transmit signals, not COR (unless operating as a repeater controller, but that is a different ID script). Dave

The slightest vor/cos inter mode noise can reset the I'd timer also. Pete Damron M5ZLW

This is how the interval ID system is set up. It ID's on first transmission, every interval after that, and then after one interval of inactivity sends a final ID. It is standard on all Debian IRLP

No. The FCC ruled on that long ago. It should ID whenever the transmitter has been in use for 10 minutes or more, and once within 10 minutes of the last transmission. Gary - AG0N

Node numbers are not assigned to boards. Rather they are assigned to a software installation which you must have a board, to complete. If you have been assigned a number in the past, which you must

Hi I purchased a V3.0 IRLP board a few years ago and am in the process of modifying it for use with a raspberry Pi. I cant remember if I was allocated an IRLP node number of PGP key when I purchased

Thanks Dave, I know Kevin will read this, the PING IP is a variable you can set in the script. I'll make one of them the DEFAULT in version #2 which I'm working tonight and I'll upload it. ** Dave

There are two private IP addresses good for this test. 192.168.168.1 or 172.23.168.1. They will only work if the VPN is up. Any other public IP may work fine if the VPN is up or not. Same IPs on

Great to know if I ever put a simplex node back on the air Richard Szajkowski VA3 RZS VA3ZJ VE3BTE

You are most welcome Kevin, glad I could help. Via email we boiled it all down to Kevin's node kept dropping Openvpn and either Kevin had to reboot or restart Openvpn /usr/sbin/service openvpn

Allow me to throw this in for simplex node users as far as ID-ing. My VOICE/CW ID scripts were written to work just like a repeater controller. When you start the script, it sleeps until either COS or

In Canada , I id every 30 min if some one was using it or not, in the US I believe it’s every 10 min , I would treat it as a repeater as I did when simplex , as I did when it got moved to a repeater

Ten minutes in the US; in other countries, the time can vary (e.g. Canada, 30 minutes). 73 Jim VE5EV

That’s what I thought. Thanks, Al

Because you are bound by the FCC and they’ve treated an ID when the station is not actively used (a repeater on standby) as a beacon or a one way transmission, the answer is no. Besides it’s

Should my simplex node be sending an ID over the air even though the node is usually idle? If so how can I enable this in the software? 73, Al W6AAX stn3913

Just wanted to update that Dave WB8ODF and I emailed back and forth and he was nice enough to take the time to write a script for me to make this happen. It works great! I run a couple of his scripts

Tim If you can't upgrade or have the old software, put in a "pad" (pot) between the node and the radio and pad the overall audio (man talking in the box) down to a comfortable level, then run the
