At first, when I set everything up, all was working wonderfully. But now, after being up a couple of days, I’m hearing a delay in the transmit – I key up, announce my callsign, unkey, and I actually hear the last bit of my transmit audio as an “echo”. Doing some research thru the mailing list, it seems to indicate this *<b>might</b>* be the system being a little underpowered – is this a regular occurrence with a Pi in duplex mode? Would upgrading to something more powerful help? Been looking at something like the Qotom or Protectl small form factor PCs – but I’m a little concerned about they would hold up in the heat. Our building at the tower site does not have any cooling in it, and it can get rather warm during the summertime.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Another question – can the AllStar version of Asterisk directly play MP3-formatted audio? I’m considering some functions using Amazon’s Polly Text-to-Speech service, which provides MP3 files, so I’m wondering if Asterisk could play them directly, or if I’d have to use sox to convert them to another format first.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jeremy, NQ0M<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
