[App_rpt] Question: Remote base conference capability
Hi Everyone, I am wondering if there is an easy way to enable conference capability for remote base nodes? --I wish to have potentially several "standard" nodes connected to one remote base (or other similar configs). I saw that this capability isn't allowed in the ACID sysadmin manual, but, would like to try it anyway if possible without too much hacking.... Thanks! David KB4FXC
Well, I just changed my rpt.conf file and this capability now seems to work okay for me. Ho hum....(oops!) 73, David KB4FXC On Mon, 18 Aug 2008, David McGough wrote:

David, If your remote base node needs frequency agility which us commanded by a user, then it can't have multiple users connected. It just isn't coded to work that way. There are two separate C functions in app_rpt.c one handles standard nodes and the other handles remote base nodes. However, if your remote base is operating on a fixed frequency, just set it up as a standard node with half-duplex functionality. There is limited frequency agility available to a standard node which Steve Henke, W8SH added to allow phone users to call in to a standard node on different extensions and change a channelized commercial radio to a different frequency based on the extension number.

Hi Steve, Thanks for the info--yes, I stumbled across how to do this by using "standard node" mode, as you mention below. I a different note, I've been browsing thru the app_rpt.c source code and noticed the reference to rpt_notch.c -- I looked around and don't see this code anythere. Does it exist? The reason I'm asking is that I eventually would like to experiment with various DSP audio processing--like a TX compressor/limiter and perhaps RX voice squelch for HF use, etc....I figured that looking at how rpt_notch is implemented might help expedite my learning process in this area. 73, David KB4FXC On Mon, 18 Aug 2008, Stephen Rodgers wrote:

David. rpt_notch.c is strict GPL an incompatible with Digium's dual licensing scheme so it can't be distributed with Asterisk. I sent rpt_notch.c to you directly. David McGough wrote:
