This section on this website is the transfer of the corresponding one from the existing address https://u-ham.weebly.com , which, although it does not exclusively concern the general approach that is the object of FRN, nevertheless its integration was deemed necessary for reasons of economy of space, information, as well as unified management since the previous two websites (hellas-frn.weebly and u-ham.weebly) are owned by the same administrator. Another reason is that projects of U-Ham anyway, in addition to the digital networks, are mostly used in the Hellas-FRN network as well. Without putting much emphasis on the name U-Ham , this logo with the corresponding surrounding shape is imprinted on all the faces and main pcbs of the projects for the last 8 years. The creation of the name is the exclusive inspiration of the administrator and owner of Hellas-FRN as a combined paraphrase of the existing name "U-HAUL", an American transport company, which means that you, by yourself, move with our means of transport. (The other meaning of u-haul that is out there, is not our concern). So also here, the "U-HAM " in essence approximates the concept of radio amateurs, namely in that they try mostly on their own, with maybe a little help from colleagues, to practice the hobby using NON-commercial projects. These projects are made in the context of technical mutual assistance between radio amateurs. In the sense of NON-commercialism, the name U-HAM is not reserved, HOWEVER, and in any way, its use by third parties, although it has nothing to do with the above stated authenticity and inspiration of its creation, it is simply left to the fare play which should govern the "rules of the game" within the ham radio community. 73!

ABOUT THIS SITE This website is the result of a continuous effort to help Greek radio amateurs who are interested in the subject and the specific means of communication, whether it concerns the analog way of transmission, or its evolution in a digital way, or a combination of both of the above ways at the same time. It is constantly enriched with new explanatory and technical elements for the convenience of those involved in the use of the Free Radio Network. It has no relation whatsoever with other websites – blogspots, (or even occasional servers) which, as the case may be, refer to the subject of the Free Radio Network in Greece and involve PMRs, LPDs and (after notification with the clear limitations of the law) in the use of CBs . The posting of the website was done in such a way that we consider that works sufficiently explanatory to serve the requirements of the average of those concerned, in terms of language, style and concepts. It is made clear that it is aimed at colleagues with basic knowledge and relevant experience in using a computer connected to a transceiver, as well as the necessary concepts and understandings concerning digital communication networks. Therefore, for someone with zero knowledge about the subject, its training, involvement, regulation and operation, either of a client or of a gateway, despite his desire, it is required to make an effort to learn himself at the beginning as absolutely necessary condition and then attempt the application. The notion that someone, in TWO WORDS, will explain everything to him or someone else will set everything up for him, is beyond reality, since avoiding knowledge of the subject and direct operation (especially of a gateway) requires his personal involvement with the necessary elementary knowledge. What is written on this site is the necessary information about the subject and is not a "philosophical" rambling post per subject. If it is difficult for someone to read them, he should also recognize that nothing happens automatically by itself or that someone else is not going to do the work that he has to do. The current state of analog Internet communication has ECHOLINK and now the FRN. There are similarities but also serious and communication security-critical differences which are easily discernible elsewhere on this site. Determining the actual differences between the two programs above is left to the technical concern of those radio amateurs who deal with Internet communication programs. According to Ministerial Decision 38200/1136, Official Gazette 1969/2 Sep 2011 and in particular article 15, paragraph 6, as well as Decision 10800/310, Official Gazette B648 2013, the opportunity is given to implement technological innovations to support radio amateur activity by combining digital technology and the Internet. It broadens the horizon of employment for radio amateurs by applying these technologies, beyond those established to date, for experimentation, communication or even in case of need to offer to society as a whole. (Article 15, par. 6: " Communication between amateur radio stations is limited to the transmission and reception of communications of technical content related to tests and measurements, as well as to observations of a personal nature. Voice communication is carried out in clear language. The use of crypto-phony is prohibited , code words or any unknown code. However, in support of amateur radio activity, it is permitted to use known and internationally recognized technologies−encodings−configurations−protocols (new digital technologies and voice and/or data transmission applications such as indicatively D−STAR, DMR etc.) as well as the use of internationally recognized means of communication related to the Internet or other interconnected digital technologies." ) Attention: The above only concerns radio amateur activity, excluding the application to other types of non-radio amateur transceivers. (e.g., PMRs, LPDs, CBs). With your participation in the FRN program, either as a simple client, or as a gateway, but also with the GRN for Android devices, you help maintain, on the one hand, the existence of the Greek server on the international list of active FRN networks for the obvious reasons, on the one hand, to the general support of the whole effort, so that it continues to be maintained. 73!

Sound card interface The photo shows how to make an adapter (interface) between the radio and the PC. It includes a fixed PTT command to broadcast, without using any USB or COM port connection. PTT is commanded by a pilot tone on the right line output channel of the sound card. Audio modulation is applied to the left line output channel of the sound card. The audio signal from the wireless is applied to the line input of the sound card at two different levels. On the right channel the signal is very strong and distorted. This signal is used for the VOX of the FRN Client program. In the left channel the signal is less strong, but with better quality. This signal will be broadcast to the Internet. Resistor R4 must be fitted if the radio has combined PTT wiring and microphone input. Settings in the FRN Client. The following photo shows how to set up this adapter (interface) Don't forget to turn off VOX on the radio. Click "Settings--> Adapter" (interface) to open the interface menu.

The AllStarLink network availability is over 99,99% . Over the past four years, AllStarLink has seen phenomenal growth. Four years ago, around 2,000 nodes were connecting to our servers at the same time. Now we are seeing over 10.000 nodes. With a generous grant from ARDC, last year we released ASL 3. It is the first new client in 15 years for AllStarLink. ASL 3 has been re-engineered to run on Asterisk 22 LTS with the latest Debian 12 Linux release and modern hardware. This is a major update for current customers running Asterisk Version 1.4. The new release incorporates over 15 years of Asterisk bug fixes, significant security improvements and enhancements. The update required extensive modification of "app_rpt", the Asterisk application that is Allstar. Many memory leaks have been addressed, modules now load or refresh more reliably, and many bugs have been fixed. All of this contributes to improved stability and uptime. We recommend that all AllStarLink users upgrade their devices, PCs, and Raspberry Pis to use the latest version of ASL 3. Over 3,700 nodes have already been upgraded and are currently using ASL 3. This includes nodes using Raspberry Pi 3, 4, or 5 (many of which were running Hamvoip), x86_64/AMD computers, and cloud nodes, Kits4Hams SHARI boxes, Node-Ventures ClearNodes, Repeater Builder, and Hotspot Radios. To learn more, read the ASL3 Handbook or join the AllStarLink Community. If you are using a hotspot device, we recommend that you contact the hardware manufacturer for specific upgrade instructions. Use the link below for a live view of Allstar Link connections Worldwide. The greatest concentration is observed in the USA (mainly) and England. The rest of the countries are slowly following this global way of communication that does not eliminate either the existing analog P/D and analog communication, nor the digital one, due to the interconnection capability. With the help of this suitable but not difficult connections, everything is now possible. https://stats.allstarlink.org/maps/allstarUSAMap.html AllStarLink is a network of Amateur Radio repeaters, remote base stations and hot spots accessible to each other via Voice over Internet Protocol. AllStarLink runs on a dedicated computer (including the Rasperry Pi) that you host at your home, radio site or computer center. It is based on the open source Asterisk PBX running our app_rpt application. App_rpt makes Asterisk a powerful system capable of controlling one or more radios. It provides linking of these radio "nodes" to other systems of similar construction anywhere in the world via VoIP. AllStarLink's primary use is as a dedicated computer node wired to your repeater or radio. Connections from Echolink, other VoIP clients and telephone calls are supported.

Όσοι είχαν αλλάξει το όνομα του σέρβερ με εκείνο του εφεδρικού δηλ. hellasfrn.ddns.net, θα παραμείνουν στον εφεδρικό. Για να επανέλθουν και αυτοί απαιτείται η πληκτρολόγηση του ονόματος του κυρίως σέρβερ. Υπόψη ότι τεχνικά είναι καλύτερο να πληκτρολογήσετε παρά να επιλέξετε από τη λίστα αριστερά το όνομα του σέρβερ. Όσοι εν τω μεταξύ είχαν κάνει αίτημα για εγγραφή στο Hellas-FRN και λόγω του τεχνικού προβλήματος ήταν σε αναμονή, οι ενέργειες έγκρισης ξεκινούν και πάλι από σήμερα. 73! Hellas-FRN Administrator Like 0 Hellas-NODE Apr 03, 2024 Κύριος σέρβερ Hellas-FRN προσωρινά εκτός λειτουργίας Γενική Συζήτηση Όπως έχει γίνει αντιληπτό τις τελευταίες μέρες ο κύριος σέρβερ hellas-frn.ddns.net βρίσκεται εκτός σύνδεσης και έχει αναλάβει ο εφεδρικός με όνομα hellasfrn.ddns.net ( η διαφορά είναι στην - ). Ως επιπρόσθετη ενημέρωση σας γνωρίζουμε ότι έγινε αναγκαστική παύση λόγω της αστάθειας που παρατηρήθηκε με αίτιο το υπερβολικά χαμηλό upload και με υπαιτιότητα του παρόχου της ιντερνετικής γραμμής των 10Gbps στην Ελβετία. Το θέμα εξετάζεται από τον πάροχο και η καθυστέρηση για επαναφορά του σέρβερ θα είναι ανάλογη του χρόνου απόκρισης του παρόχου για λύση στο θέμα. Όποιος χρησιμοποιεί το κανονικό όνομα του σέρβερ αυτόματα μεταφέρεται στον εφερδικό με μία χρονική καθυστέρηση δευτερολέπτων. Μπορείτε να χρησιμοποιείτε και απευθείας το όνομα του εφεδρικού, ειδικά όσοι χρησιμοποιείτε το GRN για άμεση σύνδεση. Με την επαναφορά του κύριου σέρβερ σε λειτουργία θα υπάρξει σχετική ανακοίνωση. 73! Hellas-FRN Administrator Like 0 Forum - Frameless
