Add AX.25 Software to OpenWRT
by lleachii＠aol.com 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hello all, If anyone is familiar with public software development, I need to get the Linux AX.25 software suite added to OpenWRT. I've successfully generated a makefile and /patches that will compile the current libax25, but have issues with compiling ax25-tools (which needs libax25; but I'm having trouble building individual packages with dependencies in other locations). I haven't tried ax25-apps. OpenWRT already posses kmod-ax25. http://www.linux-ax25.org Very basic for someone who knows. Please contact me. 73, - Lynwood KB3VWG

Script to transfer routes to HSMM OLSR
by lleachii＠aol.com 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Hey all, We're still working in the Washington, DC area on our HSMM Mesh network. At this point, I've been solving an issue when - those who have gateways and routes to AMPR will properly route. The only solution thus far is - those in the area with direct interconnections to AMPR as well as the Internet, will have to route them (lol). This requires announcing specific routes on the network. Mesh uses OLSR. My plan: - I'll make an Ethernet interface that is on the Mesh, we plan to get an allocation from AMPRNet (soon) for this - I'll run OLSR on this interface The script: - The current dynamic firewall script that now runs (see Wiki), will take the 44 networks and announce them in HNA I need assistance with developing that new portion of the script. I'm currently working on setting up a test to an adjacent HSMM node. Why can't the Mesh speak RIP44? - It will, we plan to setup another service with public keys that will change our DDNS name to the main router, it will start an election for if an Operator looses a good route via their Internet to AMPRGW. - While we plan to run the Mesh's tunnel with BGP eventually, the network will be configured to assume that the route to 0.0.0.0/0 is general on OLSR, and there are multiple gateways, others authorized to announce the Internet will use more specific routes like 0.0.0.0/1 and 128.0.0.0/1...etc...the main router will announce the Internet to the mesh by 255 /8 networks. - This network will be hybrid, unless you connection track the packet, it can return any direction - Masquerade when necessary, lol 73, - Lynwood KB3VWG

44.103/16 Coordinator Request
by Fredric Moses 11 Mar '18

11 Mar '18

Hello, I am wondering if there is a way we can take over as the coordinator for the 44.103/16 Michigan2 Block. Currently all the allocations in this /16 are to our microwave projects here in Michigan and it seems there is an issue with requesting a /24 that will be BGP announced from a separate location then our current allocations. I made a request on 2018-02-07 the coordinator requested I submit a utilization for one of our /19’s. We currently have a /19 /21 /23 /24 in our project now but I responded with the /19’s utilization report as requested. On 2018-02-14 the coordinator responded with : Fred, Your request will be ready RSN (Real Soon Now) I said thanks. On 2018-03-01 I asked for a status update. 2018-03-03 the coordinator responded: I expect next week. That week has now come and gone with no response or allocation. If a coordinator can not be changed out we would be willing to re-ip into a new /16 block that we can issue requests for IP’s in a more timely matter like our HamWAN brothers do out in the western US area. -- Fredric Moses - W8FSM - WQOG498 fred(a)moses.bz

Hi, to all concerned, found the following errors by making the 'source' of the actual 'encap.txt' file. Can't add route to 44.24.172.40/29 via encap 44.24.172.41 Can't add route to 44.130.104/24 via encap 44.130.104.1 Can't add route to 44.130.105/24 via encap 44.130.105.1 Can't add route to 44.130.106/24 via encap 44.130.106.1 Can't add route to 44.130.107/24 via encap 44.130.107.1 Can't add route to 44.131.14.252/31 via encap 44.131.14.253 Can't add route to 44.136.150/23 via encap 44.136.150.2 -- 73 and ciao, gus i0ojj/ir0aab

Re: [44net] TNC for Raspberry pi that support 9600 Baud ?
by Rob Janssen 09 Mar '18

> At minimum, just a USB sound card ($5 US) and some way to key up your > radio. The Direwolf UserGuide details all this for you. On a Raspberry > Pi, a simple transistor circuit and a GPIO pin off the Pi is all you need. For software guys, it is now possible to make receive-only installations with even less hardware. On our co-channel diversity repeater system we have sites where an RTL DVB-T stick is used with SVXlink "remotetrx" configured to provide a number of virtual NBFM receivers where some of them are connected to the SVXlink master site to receive voice to be transmitted over the repeater, and other virtual receivers are connected via a loopback audio device to a direwolf process used to gateway the received APRS packets to the aprs2.net As the APRS frequency on 70cm is in the process of being changed, we receive on both the old and new frequency and also on 2 different repeater input frequencies, all with a single stick (and a bandpass in front of it, of course). I have even tested an SSB input to the repeater, which worked fine too. It is possible to add receivers and connect them to some application without touching the soldering iron, without even going to the site. It is really wonderful what software can do today... Rob

White space radio
by Steve L 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

This radio will be field tested soon at an area school. I look forward to hearing more and will report back when I do: http://www.metricsystems.com/ I figured I'd point it out to the list enough though I suspect the price point is not for the typical radio amateur. It would seem a company making such a thing would have a limited market, so if it could be unlocked to cover ham freq's that might provide a small secondary market. Either way, hams looking to move data might also want to research white space radios as I suspect this sort of thing will be more common. PS: I see the dunderheads in Newington have proposed some changes to the hobby. Sadly anything to do with data/bandwidth isn't part of it.

FW: Allocation request ON5BAC

FYI 73, Ruben - ON3RVH From: Bart Cretskens [mailto:bart.cretskens@gmail.com] Sent: maandag 5 maart 2018 13:39 To: Ruben ON3RVH <on3rvh(a)on3rvh.be> Subject: Re: Allocation request ON5BAC Dag Ruben, Sorry, inderdaad, je hebt gelijk, een /29 is goed om mee te starten. Alvast bedankt 73e Bart 2018-03-05 9:23 GMT+01:00 Ruben ON3RVH <on3rvh(a)on3rvh.be<mailto:on3rvh@on3rvh.be>>: Dag Bart, Kan je ons meer detail verschaffen over waarom een /24 aub? Standaard staan we enkel /29 size netwerken toe, dit om het verkwisten van IP adressen te vermijden. Een /24 staan we enkel toe als je zelf de BGP routering naar het internet ervan kan doen. Dus dan heb je een ASN nodig en minstens 2 transit providers die bereid zijn om die /24 voor jou te announcen Alvast bedankt. 73, Ruben - ON3RVH Member of the AMPR ON0 coordinations team

DMR trafic behave on AmprNet
by R P 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

About a year and a half ago I have asked how good will be the AmprNet to use to connect DMR repeaters So finaly i have made a HotSpot and connected it to the AmprNet and it connect to our Server via the AmprNet I use tunnel to UCSD and not BGP so traffic travel to UCSD The results are impressive No problem at all although the latency is big no words loose or packet loss The only thing i see is a bit delay until the Hotspot start to transmit and this is (probably ) because the latency so the PTT command delay a bit It is a high power hotspot consist of a 25 Watt radio connected to a MMDVM system so users use it and i didnt get any complain of any disconnection or any issue of networking or service so far If you are interested the statistic of the MikroTik Router that handle the AmprNet traffic show about 12Kbit/Sec UDP when the data flow from the hotspot to the server Ronen - 4Z4ZQ http://www.ronen.org Ronen Pinchooks (4Z4ZQ) WebSite<http://www.ronen.org/> www.ronen.org ronen.org (Ronen Pinchooks (4Z4ZQ) WebSite) is hosted by domainavenue.com
