Fellow Hams and PBX tinkerer's

 

I want to provide a auto-patch and a repeater dial-in for our club repeater using my existing home Asterisk PBX in a Flash setup.

Our club repeater is connected to Echolink so I was thinking about creating a Echolink node on my server that users could link to then I would allow an outbound call.

On the reverse I would like to provide a repeater dial-in number that would route through my Asterisk server to our club's node via Echolink. Keeping in mind at no time does my Asterisk server actually communicates with a radio directly it is just acting as a Echolink gateway.

 

I have been experimenting with ACID but it appears the radio/usb driver is preventing Asterisk from loading without a actual usb radio connected. If I noload=chan_usbradio in the modules.conf file then Asterisk appears to load but I am still having problems with refrence to it in my rpt.config file.

 

I have been able to configure a Echolink connection but I cant send audio to the connected node when the remote station connects but the Asterisk debug indicates it is. 

Does anybody have a working Echolink node that they would like to share their iax,echolink,rpt and extensions config file with me.

 

 

Thanks for your help.
