Hi?

If you talking about number 4 on? tx b? no it's not use just tx a I'm belive?

Re: Just installed shari node. Issues with dtmf codes
You are correct.? In a SHARI node, the transmit (TX) audio comes from pin 30 of the CM108B (Line Out Left or LOL).? This is commonly called Transmit A Level, TXA or TX-A.?
?
Pin 32 - Line Out Right (LOR) commonly called Transmit B Level, TXB or TX-B? is not connected to anything.

Re: Just installed shari node. Issues with dtmf codes
I always thought TX-B wasn't used... unless something's changed in the last few years..?

Re: Cannot accept incoming connection
I was testing the connection using my two nodes in the same local network. I don't know if that would have affect the result. I will try to have someone external test the connection when I get a chance.
?
Two nodes on the same LAN behind a router usually will not connect unless the router has "hairpin" capability.

Re: Cannot accept incoming connection
Have you tried a port checker? ?
?
That should narrow it down to either being firewalled off or a config issue.

Re: Just installed shari node. Issues with dtmf codes
Your suggestion, relaxing dtmf in the config file.

Re: Just installed shari node. Issues with dtmf codes
These settings worked for me to get "A" to be recognized. All 16 characters are decoded properly now. thank you.

Re: Cannot accept incoming connection
I have set the server in the Allstarlink portal to use port 4569.
IP address and port forwarding rules are correct as far as I can tell.
I am not using a carrier-grade NAT, such as T-Mobile Home internet. I use Cox.
I don't have double-NAT. I am using a cable model/router combo. I am using ARRIS G34.
I have Wires-X working properly in my network.
I have rebooted the router as suggested, but it is still not working.

Is the server set to use port 4569 in the Allstarlink portal?
If, indeed, the IP address and port is correct in your router's firewall
for port forwarding rules, and everything from Asterisk to the
Allstarlink portal is set to 4569, are you on a provider that does
carrier-grade NAT, such as T-Mobile Home internet? Alternatively, are
you on a double-NAT situation, for example, a router behind a cable
modem that isn't set up in bridge mode?
Do you have other services on your network that can be accessed from the
outside world?

Re: Just installed shari node. Issues with dtmf codes
Adjust the Pre-Emphasis and De-Emphasis in the Simple USB / CLI settings to the opposite of what they are now and see if it makes a difference. It works sometimes, ?not always, but sometimes. Fred McGuire, KD5FMU fred.mcguire.jr@...

volume is too high, which causes distortion even before the
channel driver hears it, or something is wrong with the
pre-emphasis/de-emphasis settings on the radio and/or the channel

N8AR now recommends setting the SHARI's volume to 6, which has
worked well for me. He previously recommended using a radio volume
of 8, but volume 6 yields a cleaner input to the sound fob.
To test, since I can't see the bar graph on the input gain, I
just go to the Asterisk CLI on one console, then open the tune
interface in another, then when not connected to any node, bash
all the tones from the radio to see which are being decoded in
real time with verbosity set to 3, then adjusting the RX gain in
the other window if needed.
I have many, many HT's, and I've yet to find a combination of
radios I couldn't get to decode all digits with a good initial
rarget RX level and output from the? SHARI itself.

I am running a yaesu ftd5 and have used the method

Everyone of the codes except the 'A' tone work. I have
adjusted the receive volume. Any suggestions. I can live with
out the 'A' tone, but would like to get it working.

Re: Just installed shari node. Issues with dtmf codes
I have a Shari and five radios: a Kenwood TH-D75, a Yaesu FT-70D, a TYT MD-UV380, and two Kenwood TMV-71A¡¯s. My Shari decodes every digit including A and 3 on every single radio. No problems. I had to get very particular about the levels. ?

Re: getting echolink to work
Check to make sure your password is correct.? I show it online thru echolink.? Also you can not run 2 echolinks on the same network at the same time.
I have my shari node working on allstar. I am trying to get it to work on echolink.
?
I have enabled the echolink.conf file and filled in the proper settings:
?
[el0] confmode=no call=your-KI5KEE-L ? ? ? ?; Change this! pwd=your-ccccccccc? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?; Change this! name=John Hutchings ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?; Change this to your real name! qth=Paris TX ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ; Change this to your actual QTH! email= john@... ? ?; Change this! maxstns=20 rtcptimeout=10 node=597257 ? ? ?; Echolink node number - Change this! recfile=/tmp/recorded.gsm astnode=60017 ; Change this to your active Allstar node number! context=radio-secure server1= server2= server3= server4= ; ?
I have opened? up tcp and udp ports 5198-5200 and pointed them to the shari node.
?
Allstar4569, 5198-52004569, 5198-5200192.168.1.49

both udp and tcp inbound and out

I am trying to validate my KI5KEE-L address through Echolink and it says it cannot ping it. That is the first problem.
Second is this:

Re: Cannot accept incoming connection
Be sure that you are ony using port 4569 for the server for the node in question.? Additional servers for other nodes must use different ports (i.e. 4568, 4567, 4566, etc)

Re: Just installed shari node. Issues with dtmf codes
On my FT-70 and I am guessing some of the other Yaesu models presenting the same problem of SHARI decoding an "A", I found by examining the waveform on a HP modulation analyzer and? oscilloscope with other test equipment that the high tone of 1633 Hz is too low in relation to the low tone of 697 Hz. ?This excessive twist is causing the decoding problem.
?
There is a fix. ?The following is from a message by David, K4FXC.
?
Yes, the DTMF decode tolerances can be "loosened up" in chan_simpleusb, on HamVoIP. ?In the simpleusb.conf file stanza for the node that needs adjustment, simply set:
?
dtmf_relax=1
?
...Then, restart asterisk. ?Note that changing this setting will probably
also lead to false DTMF decodes. ?I've never had a node where I needed to enable dtmf_relax, I've always found be carefully adjusting the input?
audio, etc., I could persuade decoding to work. ?I don't recommend?
enabling this setting, unless there is no other alternative.
?
I am using the settting for the SA818 and simpleUSB filter and pre/de-emphasis that I recommend in this document.

Re: Just installed shari node. Issues with dtmf codes
Running ASL3 here and have the same challenge with my FT-5. Using a FTM-500 ¡®A¡¯ is decoded correctly. I adjusted audio levels as well, and have not yet found a configuration to make it work.
