Re: Digest Number 38

 

I wonder why the D-STAR radios don't make use of AMBE chips ability to process DTMF. The vocoder supposedly has RTP Payload support for DTMF Digits (much like RFC2833).

I guess I like the idea as a control-op of being able to monitor the d-star repeater from the IP phone on my desk. And being able to take a directed D-Star call over that phone.

Well, if you can bridge to Asterisk/AllStar, you can also bridge to
the PSTN, given that Asterisk supports that. Of course, you could
use a D-STAR radio connected to a conventional autopatch unit.

One possible challenge I can see is DTMF. D-STAR radios don't make
use of AMBE's capability to transmit DTMF digits out of band, and the
vocoder is likely to seriously distort the tones. One workaround
might be to use the slow data channel for command and control of the
autopatch. Would likely require some development work, because the
data channel has no error correction, and you don't want errors when
transmitting phone numbers! :)

As I mentioned in my other message, that is done on a local basis. When you have D-STAR systems connected to reflectors, you get into International law and have to be very careful.

?

Bridging D-STAR to a phone patch is one thing, bridging it to Asterisk is quite another. A phone patch is a much more controllable situation. Asterisk is commonly assumed as a pipeline to everything that can be connected to it, which is quite a lot!

Re: Digest Number 38

 

The difference is the control point. Very few phone patches allow for inbound connections, outbound is the commonly accepted implementation. With outbound, there's a definitive process where a licensed amateur initiates the communication.

But, phone patches are generally implemented on simplex or a single repeater. With some connections to D-STAR, the asterisk system has been connected to a repeater that is connected to a reflector, that's when you get in a lot of issues. Many reflectors have a number of systems from a number of countries connected to it. Not all of those countries allow for third party traffic. That can be a big problem.

And while I always hate to get into this argument, the rules pertaining to immediate danger to life, limb, or property really aren't the way that you state it. Let me put it another way. Why would your local fire or ambulance service need their own systems? Because just about everything that they do is immediate danger to life, limb, or property. Do you want them coming into the amateur bands and using our resources?

For those of us who practice emergency communications, we should be professionals so that what we do during an emergency is NOT an emergency, it's a professional communications system. This is what fire and ambulance professionals do. We shouldn't need, nor desire to break the rules.

Phone patches have been around for years and have been used to allow non-hams to talk on the air -- so where is the problem so long as the communication does not otherwise violate the rules ?? (no commerial interest, no foul language, etc) I would think it is the responsibility of the ham initiating the call, and of the control operator of the patch to make sure the conversation is within the rules.

Lastly -- during an emergency -- all those rules go in the pot anyway when it comes to immediate danger to life, limb, or property.

If anyone has taken this course I'd like to hear more about what you thought of the CD-ROM... specifically if you thought it was worth the $50 spent.

I'd also like to get a feel if there is any inkling of future technology.

For instance, I was actually impressed by the 2nd edition of the VOIP: Internet Linking for Radio Amateurs by K1RFD because this revised edition gave an overview of Asterisk and app_rpt.

New ARRL Course on Digital Technology for EmComms

 


New ARRL Course on Digital Technology for EmComms

With digital technology becoming an integral part of Amateur Radio, hams interested in emergency communications now have a new tool to help them take advantage of emerging modes such as Packet Radio APRS, Winlink 2000, IRLP, EchoLink and WIRES-II, D-STAR, APCO25, HF sound card modes and Automatic Link Establishment (ALE). will introduce hams to all of the ways Amateur Radio operators are using digital technology as a valuable emergency communications tool.

Written by ARRL Publications Manager and QST Editor Steve Ford, WB8IMY, this self-study CD-ROM will answer such questions as: Can you transfer supply lists or personnel assignments between emergency operations sites? Can you get critical e-mails to the Internet if a connection goes down? Can you relay digital images of damage at specific locations? Can you track the locations of emergency personnel and display them on computer maps?

Illustrations, screenshots, Internet links and audio files are used to demonstrate transmission modes and equipment configurations. Bite-sized learning units and interactive knowledge checks make learning interesting and fun.

"This course is a great starting point for anyone interested in the public service applications of digital communications technology," said Ford.

Re: NXDN

 

Gentleman although this is not a topic of this group, the info regarding Mototrbo and Nxdn are not accurate. Nexedge (the Kenwood version of nxdn) has excellent voice quality and it is far more advanced.It supports mixed mode simultaneously (and not one at a time), it uses trunking with up to 48 site connectivity. A big difference also is that Mototrbo can only support 2 concurrent channels no matter how many repeaters you connect via Ip. Nexedge supports up to 30 concurrent channels per single site (trunking mode) and can connect up to 48 sites to one big network. TDMA (mototrbo) uses 12.5 KHz, NXDN uses 6.5 KHz. TDMA needs time synchronizing so shorter distance between user and repeater. There are many more details that I can explain if there is interest but using off list mail.

Moderator's Note: MOTOTRBO like NXDN is designed for business communications. MOTOTRBO like NXDN & P25 has no callsign ID of radios and radios are channelized & not easily frequency agile.
Icom has an interesting white paper comparing NXDN FDMA to MOTOTRBO TDMA at: www.idas625.com/Information_Paper_FDMA_TDMA.pdf

This group is not meant to be a discussion of whether D-STAR is better or worse than P25 or MOTOTRBO or NXDN, but it can be helpful to understand the capabilities of other commercial digital voice technologies since hams often consider using them instead of D-STAR.

Mototrbo is a much better protocol than NXDN. Audio is much better and it is 2 time slot TDMA, allowing digital data and digital voice on the same frequency simultaneously or two digital voice conversations. It is also open protocol, and thus legal on the ham bands. It is set ip for RoIP out of the box, no external equipment needed. Future expansion to 4 time slot TDMA is coming soon, as is mixed mode repeaters allowing analog users to use it as well as digital, similar to P25, but at a much lower cost. The fact that D* doesn't do mixed mode or multiple time slots is a big disadvantage in my opinion. Hams are using trbo equipment like crazy on the west coast for wide area linked systems. The cost of a mototrbo repeater is only about $2400, too, about the same as a single D* repeater and controller.

I'm not sure that their data throughput can live up to the 128k of D*, though.

Moderator's Note: There is a small group in a rural area of central Illinois that are also using Icom IDAS NXDN radios & a repeater. It works OK for them. Of course NXDN systems don't integrate into the D-STAR network, but I suppose they could be connected to IRLP or Echolink or maybe the Asterisk technology.

Hi, Moderator!

Thanks for the note.

Some amateur NXDN systems are now operating, according to a ham I met at the Radio Club of America meeting this last weekend. (100th anniversary!!) Been trying to learn more.

Although D-STAR is ham oriented, the protocol is very weak in the presence of multi-path propagation. Diversity receivers fix the problem nicely. But, diversity receivers are expensive and not built into repeaters or handheld radios. What to do??

Given that both ICOM and Kenwood designed this system jointly and some hams already use it, it seems that NXDN might be worth a look. I don't know. Lots to learn!!

Anybody have knowledge or experience to add?

Thanks!!

If you have a built in com port and it is on com 1 move the radio to com2 or if it is on com2 move the radio to com 1 (try to make sure that the radio and the com port are not both on even or odd port numbers together).?

I tried all these steps and unfortunately, it still doesn't work. The program and the radio just can't seem to find each other. I went through all 256 comm port possibilities and none of them would respond to the radio.

I'll just have to run it from the control head.

The new computer is a Windows 7 machine and I have been unable to get the Icom ID-1 software to work with it. Has anyone on the reflector also experienced this?

3) When you do run the setup, right click on the setup icon and click run as an administrator from the choices.

4) The USB to serial drivers on the ID1 disk will work if you follow the above.
If I can provide any more information, please don't hesitate to ask

Subject: [D-STAR_23cm] ID-1 and Windows 7



Hi all:

I recently had to buy a new computer for my shack due to the failure of a Windows XP machine. I have been running my ID-1 through the computer because operation is so much easier in D-Star mode than using the control face. The new computer is a Windows 7 machine and I have been unable to get the Icom ID-1 software to work with it. Has anyone on the reflector also experienced this? The program comes up on the computer, but no matter what port number I try, and I tried all 256 of them, the radio simply will not respond. I'm guessing that Icom will have to come up with a new disc for W7.

I have sent an email to the Icom Technical Support people and am awaiting a reply.

73, Don
