There is plenty to know on this subject and I have not got to the bottom of it all....LOL Parrot is used most commonly for instant tests by DTMF user command. (must be enabled as parrot once by command ) AND On simplex nodes where everything is rec/played-back (creates delay) I have been told it does not work on headless nodes BUT... I see no reason for that, but it could be. After testing it myself and unable to make it work as a headless VPS node, I wrote my own script to do the same on connect. But in making that work, I found my install from iso of ASL 1.01 had errors in the modules.conf name spelling, so my temporary belief of what I was told about it not working headless should be tested again. (perhaps I will when time allows). You should be able to attach this to a public or private node if it does indeed work headless. Double check that all the correct modules are being loaded and they are spelled correctly in the module list or they will not load for you. Sorry, this is all the time I have to throw at it right now, but let me know if you run into a specific problem. But I would also be curious of your success ! ...mike/kb8jnm On 6/27/2018 4:36 PM, kc8qch@gmail.com wrote:

Good Afternoon/evening/morning to everyone,

        Tell me about parrot mode. I am trying to play around with it and have read what I have found online, but I am still not clear on a few things:

1. Does it only work on the node it is active for or could the node be connected to another node and used on that node? For example. Node A has Parrot mode turned on. It is connected to node B. Can you transmit on Node B and have Node A parrot what it heard back? 2. Does it only work over the radio or can it be used on a radio less node?

        I am trying to set one up on a private node vs a public node so I can move it around as needed in my own network for testing things. I am just trying to understand the mode more is all.

   Thanks 😊
