Has any one any info or instructions on how to play newsline or the ARRL news. This use to work great on my IRLP node I had. There is some info on the Hamvoip site but haven’t had success in creating the files needed. Any help would be appreciated…

Thanks

There are a few :slight_smile: posts right here on this forum about Newsline. Use the magnify glass and you get a result that looks like this: https://community.allstarlink.org/search?q=newslin

Pretty cool, eh?

Thanks for the reply. I seem to finally have it working. I am wondering if anyone has been able to customize the drop out timer when its plays. Right now as it play there are 20 sec pauses between its trasmissions.

Thanks

I didn’t like that either. I wrote my own script with no dropouts and turned off the timeout timer for newsline. But I lost the script, or I’d have already supplied it to you. Time to write you own script now that you have a better understanding…

Thanks I appreciate that. If I only knew anything about it or how to I shure would. I have never wrote any scripts. I work at the mercy of everyone elses work. Mabe someday I will know where to begin writing this stuff you guys all talk about. It really does look interesting to do though…

Thanks 73’s

While not a complete solution, insofar as how I want this to work on Allstar, and some may have developed other methods as well, you can now connect to node 516229 and hear the latest ARRL Audio news. I have configured node 516229 to automatically feed ARRL Audio News to connected nodes. This includes automatic un-key pauses at the appropriate times. Some additional caveats and details are found on arrlnews.rfnet.link.

If everyone had the connect happen at :00 or :30 lets say
that might help with the missing portions when connected late
if the news was always 12 minutes then a every 15min cadence would be
fine
looks like it will work mighty fine

Since we’re resurrecting old threads, here’s how I do it
