I got the thing right, this time I guess. The basic concept of app_rpt is:<br>
<br>
To provide VOIP as a channel of communication to remote<br>
distances where Radio Signals cannot reach, but VOIP can. Normally we<br>
use Repeaters and Remote Bases but using Internet is cost effective<br>
and is an alternative. After all it's for Amateur Radio's so special<br>
equipment is needed and interfaced to the PC, there by, getting the<br>
Radio Internet signals interchanged.<br>
<br>
Now in my application all I need to do is conference call at<br>
all frequencies, between computers. No where I need a transceiver to<br>
do the call. So no repeater controllers needed, no Remote Base Nodes<br>
needed.<br>
<br>
I think this simple scenario can be done with, Asterisk<br>
Conference Configuration. If I need to configure frequencies, the<br>
channels of Asterisk can be used. Means channels dedicated to all<br>
frequencies.<br>
<br>
Later If I needed to telecast, from computer to repeater, or<br>
Base Station, or radio Station, there I might need app_rpt.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your time and help.<br>
