Here's your problem: idtime has a minimum time setting of 60 seconds. It cannot be set sooner than this. The idtalkover parameter plays a morse id if a user keys up while the normal idrecording is playing. It basically kills the voice output and starts up a morse id instead. You might want to take a look at politeid. Politeid will play a voice id message when it is within the politeid time setting. Politeid has minimum time of 30 seconds. Mark Hagler wrote:
One more question... I'm figuring things out as I go along here. So far this is pretty cool!
In rpt.conf the idtalkover parameter isn't strongly documented. My guess at it's function is to play a morse code ID underneath the repeated audio if a long-winded user has the repeater keyed up and the ID timer expires completely.
So, I set idtime=6000 and then I held the receiver open for well in excess of 6 seconds, but it did not play any morse code I under the audio. I tested several cycles transmitting >6 seconds and it always plays the ID file in tail but never ID's when the timer expires during a transmission.
Could somebody enlighten me either to what this parameter really does or show me if I'm using it incorrectly?
Thanks,
