[App_rpt] Question: Remote base conference capability

Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if there is an easy way to enable conference capability for
remote base nodes? --I wish to have potentially several "standard" nodes
connected to one remote base (or other similar configs). I saw that this
capability isn't allowed in the ACID sysadmin manual, but, would like to
try it anyway if possible without too much hacking....

Thanks!

Well, I just changed my rpt.conf file and this capability now seems to
work okay for me. Ho hum....(oops!)

David,

If your remote base node needs frequency agility which us commanded by a
user, then it can't have multiple users connected. It just isn't coded
to work that way. There are two separate C functions in app_rpt.c one
handles standard nodes and the other handles remote base nodes. However,
if your remote base is operating on a fixed frequency, just set it up as
a standard node with half-duplex functionality.

There is limited frequency agility available to a standard node which
Steve Henke, W8SH added to allow phone users to call in to a standard
node on different extensions and change a channelized commercial radio
to a different frequency based on the extension number.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the info--yes, I stumbled across how to do this by using
"standard node" mode, as you mention below.

I a different note, I've been browsing thru the app_rpt.c source code and
noticed the reference to rpt_notch.c -- I looked around and don't see this
code anythere. Does it exist? The reason I'm asking is that I eventually
would like to experiment with various DSP audio processing--like a TX
compressor/limiter and perhaps RX voice squelch for HF use, etc....I
figured that looking at how rpt_notch is implemented might help expedite
my learning process in this area.

David.

rpt_notch.c is strict GPL an incompatible with Digium's dual licensing
scheme so it can't be distributed with Asterisk. I sent rpt_notch.c to
you directly.
