  Everybody wants to own the radio... ;)

  I think the question is what to define for your rxchannel/txchannel  
on the Allstar link node...  In my config, I created a "fake" node  
number with the chan_rtpdir and then I link that up with my AllStar  
node that owns the radio.

  Have you tried to define the AllStar node definition using  
chan_rtpdir and not using a separate node number at all?  Without  
trying it, I'm thinking that this may work.  You may want to define  
the parameters much like I had them in that sample config for node  
1000 as far as the linktolink, hangtime and other parameters just so  
that the asterisk node doesn't send anything but pure voice data.

  Let me know if I can help, I'll do whatever I can and I'd be willing  
to do some testing here as well.  You had a good point in that other  
post in that the best audio quality may be obtained by having IRLP own  
the radio anyway so that no conversion to GSM is done. I know that  
IRLP allows quite extensive use of scripting from DTMF, and also that  
asterisk can be controlled from the command line, so it may be  
interesting to try this approach as well.
