Eric, Glad to see you got it working. I forwarded your e-mail to Jim Dixon. Steve Rodgers, QRV Communications On Friday 03 March 2006 12:28, Eric Tichansky wrote:

Awesome! After cleaning up the abondoned modules and other crud from the distribution install, stability seems to be solid. I'll know for sure after letting it set for a few hours and hitting it with an incoming autopatch.
I was in contact with Jim Dixon a while back (Dec?) which basically resulted in the duplex=3 mode where incoming RF audio is never retransmitted. He had asked a question during our email exchange,
<----- Do you want the audio (Rx->Tx) severed during all times, or just while in autopatch mode? (Obviously, severing it always does not make for a good repeater, but Im not sure thats what you want here). ----->
and I attempted to respond, but the email must not have gone through...
<----- I still havent gotten your response yet from the last question, but If what you want is to not repeat Rx audio EVER, then try this version with duplex=3. ----->
Anyways, to build upon the duplex=3 mode and answer his inquiry... It would be more practical if this mode where modified to only block incoming RF audio during an autopatch. That way the system functions like a normal repeater most of the time, and a full-duplex compatible autopatching sytem during an autopatch (useful for full-duplex crossband autopatching, obviously not wanting to hear yourself).
Last feature request: perhaps a way to integrate CallerID in CW during an incoming autopatch announcement.
If you could push these upstream to Jim, that would be appreciated.
