Is there a setting which adjusts the amplitude of the idtalkover ident as opposed to one amplitude for both? e.g. I would like the idrecording to be greater volume than the istalkover ident. Is this possible?
Alan
oh - and what is the difference between the Morse Telemetry Amplitude and the Morse ID Amplitude?
is there a way of adjusting the voice amplitude? or is this only done in the recording?
I think you would have to make a idtalkover recording to have lower level than idrecording.
Note sure what you asking in the second post.
Seems like the third post is a different way of asking the first. Please clarify.
These settings may be of interest to you. I think you have to be running the beta for them to work.

Thanks Tim,
The question is based on these settings:
idrecording=/etc/asterisk/local/512811
; Main ID voice - no control of volume other than via the recording
idtalkover=|iVK2MET
; ID when signal present - morse subject to amplitude control???
I do not notice any control over the morse ID when it transmits - using the following setting adjustments:
[morse512811]
speed=20
frequency=800
amplitude=1024 ; alternative ID amplitude
idfrequency=750
idamplitude=4096 ; timer ID amplitude
from the second question above you asked about:
Since idampltitide in my case is voice the amplitude is ignored? It has not apparent effect.
and amplitude should govern the morse alternative id but I can’t notice a change with increase or decrease in this setting. Should it control this?
Alan
I feel the users of the repeater have priority and should always be able to talk over any system generated voice, so I lower ALL the /var/lib/asterisk/sounds files by 5dB. This was done using a script called ’ gaindown ’ by KB3ORE.
gaindown5.sh.pdf (72.1 KB)
yeh Ok that’s good thanks
Alan,
Those morse settings do change the IDer. Did you restart asterisk after changing them? Also, there must be a morse=morse512811 ; Morse stanza line within the [412811] stanza.
Yes I did restart asterisk and also tried a reboot (each time I adjusted).
Yes there is a morse512811 stanza
Still… I notice no difference when altering the amplitude
