Thanks for all the information. Sorry I wrote this half a sleep lastnight. I should have never said anything about echolink. Echolink is not the main link. Yes, asterisk is comtrolling the radios. (Repeater Interface). I have ran simpleusb many many many times. In order for me to get good repeated audio( meaning input radio, asterisk, to output radio) all the settings are zero and I have to add resistors to the audio. Also, allison and cw iders and loud and at the correct level. Echolink ( since it was mentioned) is set at default. But for some reason on some links the audio coming though the repeater tx radio is very low. I acutually have to turn the radio up. But I do have to make sure I turn the radio back down before the local rx audio or iders come across cause it will blow your radio away. Is there a setting or something on the just the internet asterisk audio to bring it up 3db? Like I said a few lines before, the local repeated audio is fine and all the simpleusb setting are 0. Keith on the iaxrpt. I have tried putting the call in the callerid spot in iaxrpt. But I still get ghost. Is there something else I need to add to the iax.conf or extensions.conf to pick that up? I had it reading caller id but it was the number not the name. On the voicemail I can star 6 and then the extension number. I am guessing not passing the DTMF tones is the problem now. But If I open that will it pass through every link and rf that I have open? Or would it be better if you can only read your email via sip or iax client?

** To triple the comment, you sound like your general audio settings are bad. Echolink audio is nothing short of horrible, don't set up to that. If you set the repeater modulation as per the asterisk app_rpt setup procedure the audio will be fantastic. Except for echolink. In rpt.conf there are settings to increase/decrease audio levels to and from echolink. But good luck setting those, as far as I have seen there is no "standard" for Echolink. There is very definetly for the Asterisk/Allstar side.
But another part of your comment makes me curious, is the computer running Asterisk the controller for the repeater? That's best but it sounds like you may have said computer connected to a repeater controller. All bets are off there. I say this because you suggest that the repeater audio is ok, but asterisk conncts are low. This suggests a repeater audio path that is different for loacl repeat audio and asterisk/allstar.

1. Another users suggested that you make sure that the Asterisk audio be set-up first. This is very good counsel. Follow the procedures as dictated in the allstarlink.org web site. Once that is complete, you can adjust the Echolink audio as a parameter in the usbradio config file. Look for erxgain and etxgain in rpt.conf.
2. When the user sets up the iaxrpt client, the second tab in the preferences allows the user to set his callsign. Whne that is done, he will be announced on the node. If the user does not set this he connects in a stealthy manner. Otherwise if a value is set, then they are announced during connects and disconnects. If everyone follows this, then you can move forward with a common userid and password.
3. Where is your voicemail with respect to asterisk & the bare repeater. You need to supply a little more detail, before people can respond. I think that you are looking to pass dtmf from a remote user to your repeater so that they can get voicemail – but I am guessing that this is what you are seeking.

Greetings,
I have been working on the node the past couple of days.
Here is my problems.
1. The incoming echolink audio is fine the repeater audio is fine. But the incoming asterisk connects are low. Can I adjust that?
2. When an iaxrpt user connects. I can not get the caller id out for that person. I have ,made everyone there own sign in. It is easier on me. Is there a way I can fix this?
3. I have voicemail working ont he repeater. You can access it from RF. But I can not get it to the point where they can check there mail. I can not get login to voiccemailmain to work right. Can I get help on this also?
