[App_rpt-users] announcements

[Johnny Keeker]

I find most sysops adjust the audio by ear so that itself adds to the mismatch.   I like the cop commands, 33-34 to turn on and off the audio.  
Zipper is good, but as mentioned ACID has its advantages.  One being it still supports ztmonitor.  That's a good tool.  
Maybe if we all send in a 5 dollar donation once a year, it may in courage the code guys to consider some of the suggestions out there.  
I'm on my way to kick in right now. 
Johnny

Yes it's easy to turn off dis/connect messages. See telemdefault http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/103. I like mode 2. 
Echolink levels can be adjusted independently of other audio. In your node stanza you should see the following statements near the top. Uncomment or add them.  


erxgain=-3                          ; Echolink receive gain adjustment
                                    ; Note: Gain is in db-volts (20logVI/VO)
etxgain=3                           ; Echolink transmit gain adjustment
                                    ; Note: Gain is in db-volts (20logVI/VO)

One thing I like to do is add another node to my system just for echolink. That way you can dis/connect it as needed.

Hi Tim,

The echo link come in at a different volume level than let’s say the web transceiver or another allstar node . both my nodes connect together great but Echolink is defiantly lower . Is there a way to get a volume increase just for Echolink? I was thinking of putting a txmixer = 250 command in the Echolink.conf. But I think that may make everything else get louder too.

If you use chan_simpleusb the RX procedure is a bit different: Generate (with a service monitor) a full quieting 1kHz tone at 3kHz dev with no CTCSS. At the OS CLI type radio_tune_menu, adjust the reading for 3kHz. With a RTCM the procedure is pretty much the same except you have nice indicator LEDs right on the RTCM.
