First of all you have to remember that Echolink is not Allstar! That is it has its problems. I run it here without any significant problems so far but it certainly could happen. If it is one station that is repeatedly trying to connect unsuccessfully and causing the problem you can deny them (or others) in the config file. Another thing to try and also a good way to connect echolink is to have it on its own node within Allstar. That node would be defined as a pseudo node in the rxchannel line in rpt.conf. In this way you can define things about that node that do not effect your radio nodes and also you have the ability to connect or disconnect the node and in effect connect or disconnect echolink from the rest of your nodes. Since the telemetry options are defined on a node by node basis this might work for you. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2015 10:03:43 +0200 From: simko1994@gmail.com To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Endless telemetry output with chan_echolink Thanks for the replies! Currently we have telemdefault set to 0, because otherwise the repeater causes problems with these 5 minutes long telemetry transmissions.. The eannmode is set to 2 (announce only the call of the EL station) and the echolinkdefault to 0 (echolink stations should not hear telemetry). Simply disabling telemetry output does not resolve the problem for me, because we would like to keep telemetry output enabled, in order to get some feedback when you type DTMF numbers to connect to an Echolink station (so that the users could know, if the station actually was connected or not). I also tried to enable the "timed telemetry output" by setting telemdefault=2, but it does not help against this issue with multiple connect attempts. So the actual problem is not how to disable telemetry output completely, but how to get rid of these repeated telemetry transmissions caused by multiple connect attempts by one single Echolink station Thanks and 73s Simon, IN3FQQ Am 16.07.2015 um 16:09 schrieb Doug Crompton: http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/107 I think that will answer your question. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio > Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2015 13:59:32 +0200 > From: simko1994@gmail.com > To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org > Subject: [App_rpt-users] Endless telemetry output with chan_echolink > > Hi all, > we are operating a bunch of Allstar/app_rpt nodes here in South Tyrol, > and they are all working perfectly! > A couple of weeks ago we decided to switch one of our old 2M echolink > nodes to app_rpt with chan_echolink. > > So far so good, seems to work - but - here comes the problem: in certain > cases (I think it is when users connect via Echolink App over a relay > connection) in the asterisk cli you can see, that there are 30 and more > echolink connections being accepted by the system.
