Topic : Best radio/antenna strategy?

Clear answer, thank you! My question: If I mount a Ubiquiti device at the mast-head right below the antenna, and feed the device through the Cat5 cable with power, the only RF loss will be from the device to the antenna. Now, how about the difference in RF connectors. One of the popular directional antennas has "N" Type connection, I understand that the Ubiquiti devices have an SMA or reverse-SMA. Therefore all I need is a short cable with the SMA at one end and the N connector at the other end. Does this sound like I am in the ball park? BTW, I am a 1962 San Diego High School Graduate .. was back there for my 50th reunion a few years back and a nostalgic time it was -- first time back to SD since 1975. 73' Dave N4CVX, Brentwood, TN

Thanks for the link... I will see if I can work through it... at least I know it has been done... I want to set my pi up as a mobile unit... so I can see how it would work around the BBHN here in Las Cruces. 73 Dave WA5DJJ

AE6XE - What are the chances a node in Victorville will be able to get into Pleasant Peak? What kind of gain would I need from, say, Victorville City Hall to the peak? Thanks - Mike KA9CQL

OK. Had not seen that correlation before. Yes, only have 1 node for testing of the camera. I'll hook up some others and see what happens. Thanks! Kirk N6SXR

How many mesh nodes you you have showing on your network? Usually, if you have a one-node only mesh network, the service will not be advertised.

Topic : New to IP phones and have a question...

Glad the videos helped in getting you started. Let me know how it goes. The other thing I would recommend is that you set the phones to use G729 as the default instead of PCMA/PCMU. This saves and bandwidth. Though you sacrifice some audio quality (you have to be an audiophile to really hear the difference), you can have cleaner-sounding audio with less jitter and choppiness. Hope this helps and let me know how it works out!

Topic : Service for new camera not appearing

I bought a new IP camera.  I setup a service on the node it was attached and it is not showing up as a clickable link.  Here are my settings.  Pretty simple and have done it before.

Name = Driveway

Link = checked

http://ipcam1:80 for the URL.

ipcam1 has a reserved address.  All I see it a bullet with ipcam1 next to it.  No service link. I can access the camera through the node using the ip address and port.

I'm missing something.

Topic : New to IP phones and have a question...

Thanks for the input. I'm waiting for my USB Ethernet adapter to arrive so I can put my Pi on the mesh. I've watched your vids, and have to say it looks a lot easier than I expected to make this work. I've already loaded the Raspbx on the pi and it booted no problems.. So I'm happy there. Once the adapter gets here I'll go full throttle into the project..

K6GRP, you can point your M5 to Pleasants Pk and connect in to the area mesh. Check out http://www.ocmesh.org with all the details needed. I'd recommend Hpol. Joe AE6XE

Topic : BBHN and Banana Pi Router

Has anyone considered a Banana Pi router model BPi-r1 as a possibility for BBHN? It says it runs OpenWRT as the firmware. It will also run a full blown OS, so I suspect you could use it for BBHN & a whole lot more if done correctly.

I'm open to thoughts or suggestions, if anyone has any on pursuing this, and if it's even worth a look.

Still looking to link and it appears San Bernardino is growing. I have an M5 with 30dbi grill sitting on my roof itching for a direction.

Topic : W5HTF Node Progress

So, I have about 7 nodes up and running. I am in the Hampden and Gun Club Rd area.

I have one in my Wife's vehicle that powers up when she is driving around.  I have another in my vehicle that was powered 24x7x365, but I need a better solar solution.  It would be okay during the week, but drain the battery during the weekend.

I have a web server running off of a beaglebone black which serves some preparedness documents in PDF form.  This node also advertises internet services.  I also configured a Linksys Wireless access point and connected it to one of my home nodes so I don't have to jack in my laptop every time I want to configure a node or whatever.

I successfully made a .51 mile link from my home to a park west of me.  There is a home right in front of my home, so the link successfully connected through a house, which was really awesome.  I was able to connect to the webserver at my house from a weather proof enclosure that I have the node in my truck.  This half mile link actually used two cheap Yagis from amazon.  I think if I had unobstructed line of sight I could get a lot father away.


I'll post a couple pictures tomorrow.

Topic : Greetings!

Hello! Just checking in here.  Our ARES of Douglas & Elbert Counties group (ARESDEC) has had for the last year a handful of mesh islands connected using an internet tunnel.  We've been experimenting off and on with various services that would be beneficial in an ARES context.  Nice to see there are others deploying this tech.

Topic : ESP8266 and BBHN/HamNET

I have a handful of home IoT projects that involve the ESP8266. In most cases they are connecting to a standard wifi network.  I created one prototype that connects to a wifi network behind the mesh, and has a web server running on the ESP8266 chip and serves up temperature/humidity data from an attached DHT11 sensor.

Would be pretty amazing to see one purposed as a hsmm mesh node. RAM should be just enough.  There is also a ESP32 coming out later this year that has similar functionality at double the specs, but probably still <$10 (hope).

Topic : AMPRnet routing

Was a while ago I wrote here, but I need to work sometimes as well :)

Well, now we have finished the first writeup on how to route AMPRnet subnets, or single IPs, using BBHN / HSMM as the carrier.

As you all know, we´re using my lightweight Vtund implementation on the WRTs (including, but not exclusively, the 54GL) to connect remote nodes.

In order for AMPRnet routing to work, we configured a new VLAN on the WRT and assigned one of the switchports for that VLAN. After this we run IProute2 package for the Policybased routing features that ensures that all AMPRnet specific sources always are tunneled through the Vtund and tun0 interface towards the central point.

Also some iptables work needs to be done, the OSLR needs to broadcast the AMPRnet subnet, or single IP, using HNA4 and finally, for some costmetic value, we´ve added a AMPRnet IP infoblock on the statuspage.

Works great :)

Topic : New to IP phones and have a question...

As for the Remote PBX, you might have to forward a couple ports (I'm trying to remember my setup from 2014), or the ports are encapsulated in the packets going to and from the tunnel server (this seems like the correct answer). In the latter case, nothing special needs to be done. Just make sure the phone and PBX server are setup on the X Host DMZ.

Yes! Take a look at the 5th bulletpoint from the bottom here and the videos that accompany it here and here.
