I am trying to add a playback fuction so I can add in a tail message telling everyone to press *50 for information, then use that to playback basic repeater command instructions. I have tested this several ways, and I can't seem to get it. Plus, during my testing, I think I set *50 to a *81# so it will tell me the time. It is no longer in the config, but it still does it, so I cant use *50. Here is a clip from my rpt.conf file.

[functions27178] 1=ilink,1 2=ilink,2 3=ilink,3 4=ilink,4 ;50=playback 27178,rpt/nodenames/wa6ybn ;Testing, this didn't work 5=macro,1 70=ilink,5 71=ilink,6 72=ilink,7 73=ilink,15 74=ilink,16 75=ilink,8 80=status,1 81=status,2 6=autopatchup,noct=1,farenddisconnect=1,dialtime=20000 ; Autopatch up 0=autopatchdn ; Autopatch down 96=playback 27178,rpt/nodenames/wa6ybn ;Repeater just Donks at me ;989=cop,4 980=status,3 99=cop,6 ; Place command macros here [macro27178] 1=playback,rpt/nodenames/wa6ybn ;Repeater just Donks at me 2=*81# ;This one works ;Any others, it tell me Macro Not Found, so it must be finding the *51, but not playing the file. File is the same one for initial ID, and it works

you can't have [functions27178] 50=(something) 5=macro it will stop as soon as it sees the 5 in your DTMF sequence and look for a macro to match the next digit

Understood, that is why I had commented out the 5= line for testing, when the 50=playback didn't work, I swapped the comment to the other line, and tried it the other way. I understand the * for the start of the command and close with the #. When I test the *52, it does say the time. That is not what I am getting at. I want to occasionally say, "*50 for information", then when somebody pushes *50, it will play another recording that will have the basic instructions for repeater usage. I can't get the playback command to work. I also tried using the playback command in the [functions27178] stanza vise the [macro27178] stanza, so I must be using the command wrong. Can anyone assist me with this? KI6PSP
