[App_rpt] Getting app_rpt base node to work.

I started playing some more with mine tonight. I have a couple of the ARIBs and CAC channel banks.
If I set a node to "remote=y" I am not able to dial into it using the "dumb" mode, I was only able
to do that if I had "remote=n".
My paging project nearly working correctly. The only problem I have no way to prevent my end from
transmitting when there is carrier on the radio. This is necessary for shared channel stuff.
My goal I think is similar to yours, but I think you are attacking it from a different perspective.
My project will (hopefully) function like this:
Dial a paging access number.
enter the pager ID or CAP Code.
Hear a beep
Record your message
Hang up
This will create a file in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing which will "dial" app_rpt in "dumb" mode,
send out the tones for the CAP code you entered and play the message back.
By doing it this way, the radio is never connected to the PSTN, this elimnating restrictions of some
services.
Again, this is only going to work correctly if I can somehow determine that their is carrier and
"wait" before transmitting.
It's hotter than hell here in Tropical Minnesota lately. My work area is not air conditioned, so I
don't spend too much time working on this, but I got quite a bit closer tonight.
I don't remember if it was you or someone else who asked about cheap radios. Midland XTR's are
fairly cheap on fleabay and I think I've figured out where to tap TX/RX audio and PTT/COR on the
board.
