ASL3 on a SHARI
Using the "Interface Tune CLI" for your node, check the "CTCSS From" setting. I believe that this should be set to 'no'.

ASL 3.0 on RPi 4 SHARI?

Just saw a nice video on ASL 3.0, and I'm wondering how I can get those features on my SHARI based on an RPi 4? Anyone upgraded their device? Here's the video I saw: https://youtu.be/aeuj-yI8qrU Ken, N2VIP

node numbers
2
I currently have one node in my home but would like to setup a second mobile node for my car. The node in my home has a 5 digit node number. So my question is if I use the same node number on the mobile node will that cause problems if say the home node is powered up when I am using the mobile node on a different network. I dont want to do the node extension number route because if I understand it correctly I would then have to reconfigure my original node to reflect the extension number so my only alternative to that would be to apply for another unique node number if there are in fact problems using the same node number on each device. Keep in mind I would not be accessing both devices at the same time.

SHARI Pi4 USB plug [SOLVED]
Thanks. The installation manual (v1.03) for the straight antenna has a section about it (the installation manual (v1.02) for the elbow antenna does not, strangely): Here's the full text from the images: "The USB port that you connected the JST cable to internally can no longer be used by a USB device. Plug the USB hole plug into the USB jack of the Pi3 or Pi4 used for the internal connection of the JST cable. On the Pi3, this will be the top jack of the left column as shown in the photo. For the Pi4, this is the also the top jack of the left column (the black colored jacks, not the blue ones). Make sure you orient the plug correctly. The part of the plug that engages the jack is offset so that the cover portion of the jack does not interfere with a USB device plugged into the jack below it."

SHARI Pi4 USB plug

Hi, I successfully built the SHARI and got it up and running without any major hassles. I'm just left with one question: which of the four USB ports should be blocked using the little plastic thingy? Cheers, Sander [VK6PI]

WiFi not connecting
8
I am having difficulty obtaining a WiFi connection to my SHARI unit. I've followed the online prompts to add a WiFi source (my mobile hotspot) yet when disconnecting the LAN and rebooting the SHARI unit, there is no internet connection. The WiFi capability is enabled within the software. The software verifies wpa supplicant is the mobile hotspot username and passcode. When I reconnect with the LAN, it works as it should. Then dropping the LAN and repowering the SHARI results with no internet connection. Any thoughts how to resolve this? Dick N9EEE

Initial SHARI configuration error

I am attempting to set-up a SHARI PiHat (Unistorm Case) for the first time. I've downloaded the image to the Pi3 and am following the "SHARI PiHat Allstar Node Setup and Configuration Guide" line by line. I am stopped at this early step: 3. Start the MobaXterm app. Click on the Session icon. This opens a new window. Click on the SSH icon. Enter the following: a. Remote host = the IP address assigned to the PiHat by your router b. Put a check in the Specify Username checkbox c. Enter root for the username d. Change the Port to 222 Here is the error message I get every time: Network error: Connection refused ©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤©¤ Session stopped - Press <Return> to exit tab - Press R to restart session - Press S to save terminal output to file No matter what I do I end up at the same place. I've reformatted the SD card and started from scratch a number of time with the same result. Any Thoughts?

Replacing Allison, was Re: [SHARI] Changing Callsign to Node Number and Vise Versa
Here is what I ultimately want to do. I want to host one or more voices somewhere, probably a github repository, then create a script that anyone can run direct from their shell via curl piped to bash, or by downloading it for those who don't trust that method. Fair enough if you don't. This script would do the following: 1. Detect if your system is running HamVoIP, ASL or neither. This can be done programmatically in a few ways. There are some differences between the HamVoIP and ASL sound packs. HamVoIP uses GSM files for everything, while ASL uses a mixture of both ulaw and GSM. Mostly ulaw. In the case of HamVoIP, there are a bunch of scripts that are hard-coded to look for .gsm files. I'll get to that later. 2. Detect if a third party voice has been previously installed already, and if so, which one. This can be written out in a number of ways when a voice has been installed on the system. 3. Display a menu of available voices, assuming more than one, with an option to play a demo file locally to your node, so you have an idea of how things will sound before installing. After all, what I like may not be what you like. I'd like to have at least one male and one female voice, with a couple of variations on speed. One normal, one faster. That kind of thing. 4. Back up your existing /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/ folder before installing a new voice. In the case of HamVoIP, there are also a few sound files outside of this directory that are called with some specific scripts, like saypublicip, sayreg and saydns, I believe. 5. Downloads .ulaw files to the appropriate place. I'm not a fan of the GSM format, and since we don't need the full asterisk sound pack for app.rpt (this can be cut down to a little over 400 samples), with a better edited, faster voice, the files will be of much higher quality, and take up less storage as well. 6. On HamVoIP, do a find/replace on every .sh and .pl file in /usr/local/sbin, replacing .gsm with .ulaw or .sln, which ever file format ends up being used. Ignore this step if using ASL. 6.1. Since HamVoIP likes to redownload all of these scripts for most updates, a mechanism should exist to easily fix things after an update without the need to download a sound pack again. Alternatively, just use .GSM files and cry about the lower audio quality, at least if you're me... I personally can't stand that grainy, washed-out sound. Asterisk actually does better if you use raw linear PCM or ulaw anyway, as it's one less layer of potential transcoding, even for the stack connected to a radio channel driver. 7. After the voice is installed, prompt the user if they would like to run the write-node-callsigns.sh script from HamVoIP (after checking if it exists on the system) with the new audio files. For extra credit, if it doesn't exist, add an option to periodically add new calls on a cronjob if desired. On day two of having a fully working HamVoIP node back in September of 2019, I made a new, extremely fast sound pack for myself using the Apple Fred voice, because it was easy for me to script. Basically, what I did was write a bash script on Mac OS with a while loop that read a tab delimited text file with all the prompts written out in the first column, then the path to write each file in the second. Since Apple's say command only writes out .aiff files, everything was then processed by SoX to filter, normalize and trim each sample to make it extremely responsive. Since I used .ulaw files, I wrote another script that uses sed recursively to replace any occurrence of .gsm with .ulaw in all .sh and .pl scripts in /usr/local/sbin. I am a screen reader user, so I listen to fast, synthetic speech every day. It is no exaggeration to say that my node says "N2DYI Disconnected" in only a little more time Allison would say "N2" on a normal setup. That being said, this voice is not one I would recommend for a wide area repeater, and it has some bugs that I never fixed, because it's for my own personal use, and I don't really care too much about the bits that are broken, but if anyone here wants it, no warranties, let m

Changing Callsign to Node Number and Vise Versa
7
I recently downloaded the RPi-Z2W-2-3-4_V1.7-01 image to program a Raspberry Pi Zero. The Pi Zero works but I want to make a change. When booting up or when the Pi Zero makes an announcement, the Pi Zero announces my callsign. I would prefer that the node number be announced. I am looking for the file or files that need to be edited to make this change.

Does Base Node number change need updating to entire Shari Pi
2
I recently purchased a ClearNode UHF to complement my Shari VHF unit. I went to Allstar to create the node number for the new UHF unit. Allstar change my existing Node for my Shari from 59886 to 598860 & the new ClearNode UHF to 598861. I understand why Allstar did this to save numbers for growth. When I look at my Portal information, it shows extension from base 59886 to two nodes 598860 & 598861. Existing node 59886 working with no problem. However Allstar shows nodes not registered, but when I do the DTMF command it states node 59886 it states registered. I assume if I reboot or shutdown 59886, once it comes back online it will state node not registered since Allstar shows 598860. I assume that all existing node 59886 will need updating to 598860. Is my logic correct? Thanks, Rich H W9ABE

Intermittently connecting
My node appears to not 'hear' my HT on an intermittent basis. This issue is relatively new. After setting up the node I was able to use it as expected for several months. Recently when I attempted to connect to other nodes (Win System, Parrot, etc.) I get a response from my node to my HT only intermittently. I have updated the node system and rebooted it several times. I have tried different HTs. On some occasions (when I push the PTT on my HT(s)) the node responds as expected, but most times there is no response from the node. On those occasions the red light on the node does NOT illuminate. I have turned off every other transmitter within the shack to eliminate any source of de-sensing. The node antenna is tight. Nothing works. Any ideas on what I'm missing or what I might try?

Looking for opinions

I have a Shari Pi VHF. I also have a cloud node up on Vultr.com. The cloud node is not doing too well and has losses if I get more that a 6 nodes on it. Anyway, I am thinking about using the VHF Shari as a node and a hub, maybe less that a dozen other nodes on it. Any opinions on how the Shari could handle that? Does the hat take up significant resources??? de NH6FU

Creating Favorites in DVSwitch Mobile for Android
I did not see a topic on this subject. I noticed there is a Macros option which looks like you may be able to add one or two. Is this the maximum list, or how to increase the number to say 5 or 6? Thanks, Rich H. W9ABE

Quick question about "transmit a level/transmit b level"
7
Hi, Just a quick question.. I was wondering if I can lower the power of my node? I'm assuming it's done via the sa818 programing in option transmit level, but what's the difference between transmit A level and transmit B ? I apologize for my newb question but I couldn't find this information.

SA818 Filters Settings Not being retained.
My first visit here, so be gentle... I bought some SA818 VHF modules on Aliexpress - Using a windows 11 box / terminal with https://github.com/0x9900/SA818 software running in a terminal window - No problem programming the SA818 using a CH340 UART - BUT - I run into a problem with the Filters section. sa818 --port com3 version SA818: INFO: Firmware version: V1.1 sa818 --port com7 filters --emphasis disable --highpass disable --lowpass disable SA818: INFO: +DMOSETFILTER:0 filters [Pre/De]emphasis: disabled, high-pass: disabled, low-pass: disabled Using sound modem and a waterfall display I can see the filters removed - even see 88.5 hz ctcss on receive - BUT - either power cycle or PTT causes the lo pass filter to be invoked and everything below 300 hz is blocked on RX until I reprogram the SA818. The Freq info and band width, etc remains but the filter setting defaults back to having the low filter enabled. I wanted to use this module to receive DMR signals - 20 hz to 6khz and with the 300 hz filter in place this wont work - neither will dsp ctcss decode work in ASL usb radio config So, I am wondering if there is a later firmware flash (and how to do) for the SA818 Module ? Thanks again, steve nu5d
