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 Dan Sellmeyer WB0YYE ---

There are a few 🙂 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](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 Dan ---

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](https://arrlnews.rfnet.link/). David WD5M ---

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 ---
