[App_rpt-users] DTMF

[Tim Sawyer]

It's not likely that that will ever happen for at least two reasons. If you used *1 to *9 for Echolink connect you'd have no commands left for anything else. Second reason is that # is reserved for certain Allstar functions. 

Maybe you would consider putting EchoLink on your IRLP box and remove it from Asterisk. As I recall the standard EchoIRLP connect is just the node number and for EchoLink it's * + the node number. 73 to disconnect either. That's pretty simple as is, but I think you can set up shortcuts like the ones you want. I don't think you would need the disconnect shortcuts as 73 is pretty short already, and easy to remember too. 

One advantage of EchoIRLP is that prevents users from inadvertently cross connecting EchoIRLP and IRLP, something I assume your current setup will allow. The IRLP guys may ban you for that. The IRLP guys don't like Allstar either but I gather you already knew that. 

An internet search for echoirlp will provide details. The Micro-Node guy is one alternative if you didn't care to hack it yourself.

I have added the *52 to *59 shortcuts on my DTMF functionality but would like to know if I can have a similar system to IRLP of which is to help the older users of my links who find the DTMF key presses hard to complete. An older gentleman today licensed  back in August 1949 tried for almost an hour to press *3300 then the Echo link node and ended up ringing me and asking me to connect for him.  As he was unkeying the microphone after each sent tone so showing him 2 key tones would be such a benefit for all.
