These are just the basic configuration steps, based on the following scenario: *Analog repeater *Receive Carrier Squelch (with AllStar generating a TX-only PL) *Main repeater in a voting system *Supporting "offline" repeater mode Some..." current
  • 18:5618:56, 11 December 2023 diff hist +6,537 N VOTER-BuffersCreated page with "= Introduction = There are two types of buffers involved in the VOTER/RTCM. In both the receive and transmit cases, the buffer length is a fixed value. This will '''hard-set'' the delay time between actual reception and presentation time to the Asterisk channel (in the case of receive), and presentation from the Asterisk channel and actual transmission (in the case of transmit). Since the overall system time delay (the amount of time between reception and re-transmi..." current

In doing so, you realize a number of advantages: *Improved coverage area *Improved signal strength/field strength at the subscriber receivers *Better spectrum utilization *Increased (transmitter) redundancy While the above are all great achievements, building a properly..." current

It allows receiver voting, simulcast transmitters, or just a plain repeater interface when used with the appropriate hardware. This page will document configuring the channel driver, done through <code>voter.conf</code>, as well as some common issues and more obscure features that may not be widely known. = B..." current

It requires either NMEA or Trimble TSIP binary data. It only receives data '''from''' the GPS (GPS TX), it does not send anything '''to''' the GPS. '''If you are planning on doing voting and/or simulcast, your GPS also needs to have a "Pulse-per-second" (PPS) output.''' The RTCM/VOTER firmware..." current

This is an extensive topic, with lots of caveats. So, we will lay it all out here. Before we get in to the different ways audio is routed, there is an important consideration you need to make if you are using the RTCM/VOTER for voting. The way the voting process works, it needs '''discriminator audio''' to determine the signal to noise level from each..." current

As such, the firmware is specific to the VOTER or the RTCM, and is '''NOT''' interchangeable (it '''won't''' boot in the wrong device). Firmware specific for the RTCM is denoted by '''-smt''' in the filename. The VOTER uses a ''dsPIC33FJ128GP802'' and the RTCM uses a ''dsPIC33FJ128GP804''. There is different perip..." current

The menus are consistent between them both. This page ''should'' be consistent with the current options available in the current firmware. '''BE AWARE''' there are some settings that take effect ''immediately'', and others that require you to save settings to EEPROM (99) and reboot (r) for them to take effect. If you are not getting the expected results, this may be the cause. Try a 99 and..." current

In many two-way radio applications, both for repeater systems and simplex base-stations, it is often difficult to have reliable reception when there is signal impairment due to terrain or other obstacles. One common way to solve this problem is by use of a v..."
