Matt, Put this command in the node stanza of the node you want to record in rpt.conf archivedir=/var/log/asterisk/audio It does not have to be this path. Put it wherever you want but create any directories that are not there. In this case the audio directory was created. After you restart, ALL audio will be stored in wav files in the designated directory with a node number directory appended. Using above example if your node was 41000 in /var/log/asterisk/audio/41000 Each transmission will be a separate file date and time stamped. In addition there is a txt file file for each day that includes ALL status information - rxkey, txkey, etc. grep the txt file looking for RXKEY to see who keyed and at what time. Then you can reference to a date and time for the wav file to listen. If you have multiple nodes you can put the statement in other node stanza and also save that nodes information. Do NOT do this on a diskless system like a BBB as it stores lots of information that would quickly file the card and not be good for the SD card. In that case an attached large USB stick or USB hard drive would work. As a side note the BBB and now the RPi2 have an additional command - archiveaudio= 0|1 to turn off the audio recording to save space if you just want to see the status information. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio

Hi all--

Our group may have a need to record the audio on the repeater, linked or not (but if linked, include the mixed audio). It seems we have some possibly unlicensed individuals using our systems. I say possibly, because they're speaking Spanish -- they do seem to identify, but all the callsigns we've heard are out of state and most are expired. We'd like to start with making recordings to be translated after the fact, before we start trying to track them down. Keeping recordings of on-air traffic doesn't seem like a bad idea in any case though.

Is there a good way to make recordings with app_rpt? Asterisk itself could do it, I think, although I'd have to figure out how (might have to pass through meetme somehow), but I don't think local repeater traffic ever passes through Asterisk in a way I can record?

Thank you,

-Matt Sturtz, KB0KZR-
