OP25 Major New OP25 Release - Seeking Beta Testers

[KA1RBI]

linux; GNU C++ version 7.3.0; Boost_106501; UHD_003.010.003.000-0-unknown
gain: name: LNA range: start 0 stop 0 step 0
setting gain LNA to 37

From the above it appears rx.py is ending and since there's no suggestion of a keyboard interrupt the conclusion is it must be quitting due to some error.

Any messages in the stderr file?

Try dropping the sample rate to "-S 1000000"

Same results but
No problems using yours with the same Dell 700m. I did do the sudo make uninstall prior to loading this one.

The gain value you've specified (LNA:37) is evidently followed by what looks like a regular apostrophe - but has hex values of e2xxx instead of the proper ASCII value (hex 27). This can sometimes happen if the text is pasted from a "rich text" source or a web page, etc.

You'll have to edit the file - *all instances* of these non-ASCII characters must be excised.

hmmm ok, never had this issue before with c/p commands in the past with other versions of op25.

It has nothing to do with op25.

 

[Paco-Jerte]

Went with the boatbod op25 version after all on the Dell 710m. C/P is no issue at all and works great for my needs.

Good for you!

Anyone having issues with Ubuntu 20.04.01LTS?

I just upgraded (from 20.04 which was working). OP25 quit working, so I uninstalled, updated my local repo (which was already up to date), confirmed patch 3.8 patch was installed, and rebuilt OP25 with install-gr3.9.sh. Now rx.py appears to hang at launch, and multi_rx.py and http_server.py tosses a "illegal instruction (core dumped) fault at launch.

Everything compiled nice - other than a few warnings.

 

[mkmer]

Following up on Tuesday post... looks like multi_rx.py strace ends with:
read(3, "", 1024) = 0
close(3) = 0
getrandom("\xbd\x21\x70\x1d\x79\xb9\xc8\xad", 8, 0) = 8
--- SIGILL {si_signo=SIGILL, si_code=ILL_ILLOPN, si_addr=0x7fb9c3b50660} ---

Maybe getrandom function is somehow broken?

As described in README, rx.py is exhibiting the timeout issue - so I guess that's known.

ok im stumped - when i go to click and edit a SUID i get the following error

Source tag TSV file not specified in config file. Cannot edit.

any ideas?

Pretty self-explanatory. You have to specify the tsv file for the source ID tags in the trunk.tsv file. It goes in the "TGID Tags File" field, and is a comma-separated value alongside the talkgroup tags value.

For example:

"Sysname"    "Control Channel List"    "Offset"    "NAC"    "Modulation"    "TGID Tags File"    "Whitelist"    "Blacklist"    "Center Frequency"
"EBRCS CCCO Central"    "774.45625,773.90625,774.18125,774.73125"    "0"    "0x1F5"    "CQPSK"    "ebrcs-tg.tsv,ebrcs-su.tsv"

yeah i missed that sorry oops

Just did a clean install on Ubuntu 20.04, having issues with the flask logging:

File "/op25/op25/gr-op25_repeater/apps/oplog/op25/__init__.py", line 57, in <module>
    db.reflect(app=app)
TypeError: reflect() got an unexpected keyword argument 'app'

Maybe a newer version of SQLAlchemy than expected?

There is a patch for this which should be posted to the repo soon. I haven't tested this yet.

Save the file and use git apply to apply the patch.

Works like a champ!
I didn't see this anywhere on google - hope this will help others too.

Thanks for the report back.

This issue just cropped up within the last few days.

 

[CanesFan95]

Is there a way to know if there's a newer version available so we can know when to do an update?

 

[wgbecks]

You can periodically check the the website for recent updates or simply perform a git pull from the ~/op25 folder.
