I have some sample configs, and the N9YTY notes, but those notes assume a local RF link.
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. Steve
