So, I travel. A lot. Im a hotshot driver, delivering coast to coast and border to border. The yl (of 7 years) works a weird mix of day and night shifts. The times when she and I are awake, I try to spend time with her and the family via radio. Me on echolink, her on a local rig on the side stand next to her recliner.

I have a back yard repeater up (Motorola R100) a URIx, and connect to a RPi3B. I have echolink pointing to the main node in rpt.conf.

What I would like to do is disconnect the repeater from asterisk/allstar but leave echolink up and use allstar to connect elsewhere, without the radio interrupting her sleep, due to unknown schedule changes.

So, recap...

I want to be able to

1) leave allstar running

2) turn the repeater on/off

3) connect on echolink and have the node connected to somewhere else.

I just want to be able to turn on/off information getting passed on the local repeater, connected to allstar.

I'm *thinking* I could add a couple of nodes, make 29655 the 'main' node, then a private node for the repeater and another for echolink. That way, 29655 will be connected elsewhere, I can connect to it via echolink, and the repeater wont be connected, until I send the command (via an ssh phone app).
