I found a pdf on how to use Audacity to generate a message file for my AllStarLink node, but it says that when I Export the audio file it should have an extension of .pcm, but it has an extension of .raw
Here’s the article I followed: http://www.qsl.net/w/w2ymm//downloads/ALLSTAR/app-rpt-audacity.pdf
Is the “raw” file the one I need?
raw is what asterisk wants. Here is the setup:
Asterisk/Allstar expects the file extension to be .ul or .ulaw.
The latest version of Asterisk will put .raw as the extension even if you specify something else.
You will have to re-name the file to end in .ul before you copy it to Asterisk. It didn’t used to do this. A revision about 6 months ago started forcing the “.raw” extension.

Ken - I followed your instructions and I have it working! Thank you!
It didn’t work when I had the .ul in the file name, but worked with no extension. 73, Norm K6YXH
Glad you got it working.
When writing Allstar commands and macro’s and scripts, you never put in the extension of the sound file. That’s just the convention for Allstar.
