I am trying to add a playback fuction so I can add in a tail message telling everyone to press *50 for information, then use that to playback basic repeater command instructions. I have tested this several ways, and I can't seem to get it. Plus, during my testing, I think I set *50 to a *81# so it will tell me the time. It is no longer in the config, but it still does it, so I cant use *50. Here is a clip from my rpt.conf file.

[functions27178]
1=ilink,1
2=ilink,2
3=ilink,3
4=ilink,4
;50=playback 27178,rpt/nodenames/wa6ybn   ;Testing, this didn't work
5=macro,1
70=ilink,5
71=ilink,6
72=ilink,7
73=ilink,15
74=ilink,16
75=ilink,8

80=status,1
81=status,2

6=autopatchup,noct=1,farenddisconnect=1,dialtime=20000 ; Autopatch up
0=autopatchdn                           ; Autopatch down

96=playback 27178,rpt/nodenames/wa6ybn   ;Repeater just Donks at me
;989=cop,4
980=status,3
99=cop,6

; Place command macros here

[macro27178]
1=playback,rpt/nodenames/wa6ybn     ;Repeater just Donks at me
2=*81#                                              ;This one works
;Any others, it tell me Macro Not Found, so it must be finding the *51, but not playing the file. File is the same one for initial ID, and it works

you can't have

[functions27178]

50=(something)

5=macro

it will stop as soon as it sees the 5 in your DTMF sequence and look for a macro to match the next digit

Understood, that is why I had commented out the 5= line for testing, when the 50=playback didn't work, I swapped the comment to the other line, and tried it the other way.

I understand the * for the start of the command and close with the #. When I test the *52, it does say the time. That is not what I am getting at.

I want to occasionally say, "*50 for information", then when somebody pushes *50, it will play another recording that will have the basic instructions for repeater usage. I can't get the playback command to work. I also tried using the playback command in the [functions27178] stanza vise the [macro27178] stanza, so I must be using the command wrong.

Can anyone assist me with this?
