Right, thats got that bit sorted. Now for my next challenge..... The original IRLP node had an inactivity timeout that would tear down any connection that was not specifically set up to be permanent.

How could I achieve this on my app_rpt node?

My problem is that I have a rogue user who connects to the WIN system late at night as he likes to listen in (!!!) I dont mind as the repeater is usually very quiet anyway at this time of night. Problem is he falls asleep ( I guess ) and doesn't disconnect the node from the reflector.

Then in the morning a local QSO gets going on the local repeater and bam, we get blocked from the WIN system - and I don't blame them either!

Anyone got any ideas?

I totally cracked my news and clock setting problems now and it rocks!

Thanks,

The activity timer is a good idea. There should be a way to execute a macro if the state has changed on the system and there has been no receive activity on RF side. This way in order to keep the system in a special state, there would have to be periodic key ups on the receiver to reset the timer. When I designed a repeater controller back in the early 90's it had this feature. Steve WA6ZFT
