Upgraded to ASL3 from HamVoIP a few weeks ago. Just got a call from a buddy who has a linked repeater system I stay connected to quite often. Turns out all my announcements were going out over the entire network. I have everything set up the same way so no idea why this is happening as I didn’t have the issue with HAMVoIP. Can anyone assist me with a possible solution? Thanks a bunch in advance.
Can you give 2 exact examples of Alison speaking down network ?
And your duplex mode ?
Are you using linktolink=yes ?
I didn’t get exact examples from my friend. He just said that all my announcements/telemetry were going out to his 22 repeaters. When I use repeater phone I hear my morse id, courtesy tone, top of the hour time and weather, and my one custom announcement. I’m not on the local network with my phone running repeater phone, and I’m not logging in to the node, so I think this should replicate any other networked node.
My duplex mode is set to 1 and linktolink=no.
I will say in rpt.conf under the main template section it says duplex 2, but its set to 1 under the actual node itself. Not sure if the two are interfering but I didn’t adjust this stuff manually, it was set in the initial configuration.
It’s hard to know where to look when you don’t know the type of telemetry that is passing.
It would help to know what it is…
time announcement, connect messages, custom messages
Why not test this with a friends node and verify it is indeed happening first and what type of telemetry it is.
Alright, I now know exactly whats going out over the network. I have a custom announcement that runs just before the top of the hour time and weather. That announcement is whats playing over the network. I have a crontab entry programmed to run a script file with the following command:
#! /usr/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx “rpt playback 29895 /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/notices/w8kan”
Im assuming ive got the command wrong. How do I change this so it only plays locally?
I think I have it figured out. Changing playback to localplay seems to have fixed the issue
So, it was ‘custom messages’. Yep, should have read the manual or wiki before you did that.
Can’t believe you did not have the same problem with hamvoip as you stated.
Playback is a asterisk thing. Plays to all calls in a conference (connected nodes)
