I have a need to setup a community repeater. This is done easily with a shared repeater tone panel and the like from CSI. I was wondering if this could be accomplished using app_rpt. All it would need to do is allow the use of multiple input and output PL tones. Simply put, when the repeater receives X pl tone it transmits the X pl tone on the output and when the repeater receives Y pl tone it transmits the Y pl tone on the output. If anyone has done this or has any idea on how this would be accomplished it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Why yes... chan_usbradio was, from the beginning, designed to do exactly that. You can give it a list of CTCSS tones for receive, and corresponding tones for TX. You must also specify a 'default' tx tone (if there is no input).

Sounds like you want the repeater to open for any, or a subset of PL tones, the broadcast the received tone. If you get it to work, what do you expect to happen when multiple folks use the repeater at once? They won't hear each other unless two are using it at once. There Is still only one audio path through the repeater. Thanks, k6ecm 73 Sent from my iPhone

Yes, I understand this. this isn't going to be a ham repeater where people are yaking for 5 minutes at a time. Its going to be for a GMRS system. Community repeaters were a pretty common thing with using multiple tones for different customers on a commercial system. Its basicly the same as having multiple talk groups on the same DMR time slot. Since I now know this is easily done, I just need to find the information on how to do it. I know the comments in usbradio.conf refer to a tone table, I just need to find out what/where that is and how it is implemented. On Fri, Jul 22, 2016 at 1:06 PM, Bob Pyke <k6ecm1@gmail.com> wrote:

on commercial radio there is usely an option for busy channel to prevent tx. Some ham radio also have it Le vendredi 22 juillet 2016, Bob Pyke <k6ecm1@gmail.com> a écrit :

Thank you very much, this example answers my question exactly. I will test and play with it and see how it works for my situation. On Fri, Jul 22, 2016 at 1:34 PM, Pierre Martel <petem001@gmail.com> wrote:

Joe: I've done this, it is working great in testing. Here are the parts ... 1) APP_RPT doesn't support all PL tones (ACID Distribution) ... I believe that this is the valid decode list (any PL can be transmitted) ...
