I am trying to find the magic format to build a voice id instead of a cw id idrecording =letters/w digits/8 tried a few different ways and not figuring it out.. Nor has my google foo in the archives found it... Is it possible to build an ID with the individual recordings or do i need to import them all into audacity and build one audio file. Second question goes along with the first in that I want custom sayings for some of the macros for linking ports.. rather then having node 28235 and 28234 linked... a simple U H F on.. I see where i can disable the normal telemetry in a macro string and do the connect but not where I can do the custom voice words... -- Fredric Moses - W8FSM - WQOG498 fred@moses.bz
Fred - I had the same idea once. But no, you need to use a program like Audacity to make *one* recorded sound file for the ID. Custom node connect and disconnect announcements are in this directory /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames see http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/142 73 Ken 27021 27061 28204

dude, why are you trying to "build" one? Take a mic, and record one. Completely without question, having a custom "real-life" voice recording as an identifier is a wonderful and very tasteful, classy addition to your radio system. JIM

Mostly because I hate the sound of my own voice. I'd really much rather listen to pretty much anything else. And, it's kind of nice to have a consistent voice on the repeater announcements. But mostly, yeah, anyone's voice but mine.

Hey Buddy Find you a "Cute Sexy Thang" and have her record your annoucements Thats what we did in the 80's for ours. A "Sexy voiced" friend over at the local TV station made carts for us.

I agree. Personal ID's really make the difference! Speaking of which, is there any way we all can share our personal ID's so we can add them to our folders for play?

Uh...I don't think you'd want to use my ID for your machine...just sayin'...:) On the other hand...might really confuse Uncle Charlie, wouldn't it...???? In the nodenames directory, if you drop the gsm file under the name nodenumber.gsm (ie 27294.gsm), whenever my 220 machines attaches to you, you would hear my callsign rather than my node number as the announcement. We have, up here, a central repository that we update and download from a couple times a day to keep the callsigns/bands in sync. For instance, I have 27294, 27295, 27673, 27710, 27774, and 90102 .gsm files that are dropped into the common nodenames repository. So, everyone on our net up here has a cron job that rsyncs that directory. Keeps us all on our toes. Not that hard to set up, if you've a linux type around, and if you're in a linked network, may be the way to go. 73, BB WB0YLE Allstar: too many nodes on one machine...on vacation, so I'm building repeaters...;) Morrisville PA

If you are running app_gps from the SVN tree (the great fruitless one :-) there is a parameter, which as I reacall is "interval=XXX" where you can specify the report interval in seconds (300 is good for what you want). Since it is a fixed station, you might also make sure the icon is correct, (I think "icon=r" is the right thing for that). JIM WB6NIL

Here is what we use on our local network of repeaters. Add this line to your crontab 00 00,12 * * * /usr/bin/rsync -av rsync://reflector.kb2ear.net/nodenames/ /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/rpt/nodenames/ By using rsync your system will only get files that are newer than the ones already there, keeping my bandwidth usage down. To add your node to the repository go to: http://reflector.kb2ear.net/ubr_file_upload.php make sure your file is named <nodenumber>.wav,gsm,ulaw If it tells you the file is not allowed email it to me and I'll fix the upload. If you have a large number of files zip them up and then upload. Or just email me the files. once I test the file to make sure it plays in asterisk I'll add it to the repository for everyone to download. 73, Scott KB2EAR From: app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Lu Vencl Sent: Thursday, December 29, 2011 5:31 AM To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Voice ID's - and macro voice..
