Hi All,
Since the scheduled Tuesday evening interconnect has been active to the SIRN for the IRTS News, it was noted by Jason EI9LB that we were experiencing some timeouts on our side with some of the long overs. This was causing the missing of some transmissions by operators listening on the TKR side.
On confirming that the SIRN timeout is set to 4 minutes, Jason & Dave EI5IMB through a combination of on-site and remote investigation found that all hardware was set to 4 minutes except for the AllStar node, whish was set to 3.
Jason remotely amended this and tested a 4 minute transmission, confirming that through all modes, the timeout was extended.
Finally, yesterday evening for the weekly interconnect, the link was monitored and no unwanted timeouts were detected.
As keeper I would like to extend a massive thanks to:
- Jason EI9LB for his assistance with the HamVoIP amendment.
We are confident this amendment will be an overall improvement in operation, user count and accessibility for remotely located users.
Please note that the purpose of the AllStar/EchoLink connection is primarily for individual users.
Interconnections to other networks are not permitted unless approved by DARC.
Thanks as always for your support, and any updates shall be posted on this blog and shared on relevant Facebook Groups.
