Re: [App_rpt-users] Play audio to connected Echolink nodes
Hi Jim, Thanks for this info! This worked perfectly. Now connecting Echolink nodes will hear that their callsign has connected to my node, and audio file playback also works. 73 Kyle K0KN --- Original Message --- You can turn this parameter on, which will push all the node telemetry down the Echolink pipe: echolinkdefault=1 ; 0 = telemetry output off ; ; 1 = telemetry ouput on 73, Jim KH2D
only downside is the driveby echolinkers who connect and disconnect in rapid succession, causing a somewhat 'chatty' machine. to be honest, i've thought about disabling the functionality entirely, since many haven't figured out how to either set up their computer properly or, have the settings so buggered up that they hang my machine up with their PTT set wrong (ie not momentary, but push on/push off). that, or maybe figure out how to put some sort of password/pin via dtmf when you connect to keep the non-clueful off. i know i sound grumpy... -- Bryan Sent from my iPhone please forgive misspellings...

The Echolink drive-bys are annoying! I discovered a while back that I could bind my Echolink node to a hub node instead of an RF node. This has a few advantages: * Echolink nodes can not cause any RF node to transmit, unless I specifically link an RF node to the hub node. * Any RF node on the server can share a single Echolink node for outbound calls * Echolink functionality can be utilized on any RF node * Softphone or Echolink for Android/Iphone can be used on Echolink without tying up an RF node I am very happy with the functionality when Echolink is connected to my hub node. When I began running multiple RF nodes from one server, I was afraid that I would have to designate one node/band for Echolink operation. I'm often amazed at the capability of App_rpt! For now, connecting Echolink nodes hear only "callsign connected to node 2210" and my custom voice ID, but I may change that in the future. I may record a message telling connecting stations to please remain connected for a few minutes.. I use a script that sends me a text messages upon connects/disconnects, and there is a certain amount of delay between the time an email is sent, and when I receive the message. 73 Kyle K0KN ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan D.
