No announcement at all when echolink user comes in

App_rpt-users

I have set up a simplex Allstar node, with echolink, and it’s seems to be working fine as far as users being able to talk/hear, but echolink users come in with no announcement at all.

I’ve seen other posts here were announcements were’t quite working but at least the node number was announced, in my case I get nothing.

It’s very possible i don’t have it configured right, but I thought the default would be to announce visitors

Did you look at these settings in RPT.CONF

eannmode = 1                       ; 1 = Say only node number on echolink connects (default = 1)
                                    ; 2 = say phonetic call sign only on echolink connects
                                    ; 3 = say phonetic call sign and node number on echolink connects

echolinkdefault = 0                             ; 0 = Telemetry output off
                                                                        ; 1 = Telemetry output on
                                                                        ; 2 = Timed telemetry output on command execution and for a short time thereafter
                                                                        ; 3 = Follow local telemetry mode

I have this and still no announcements. Can it be because I’m testing with my own echolink account AC2GW on AC2GW-L, would it suppress the announcement?

eannmode = 2 ; 1 = Say only node number on echolink connec
ts (default = 1)
; 2 = say phonetic call sign only on echolin
k connects
; 3 = say phonetic call sign and node number
on echolink connects

echolinkdefault = 2 ; 0 = Telemetry output off
; 1 = Te
lemetry output on
; 2 = Ti
med telemetry output on command execution and for a short time thereafter
; 3 = Fo
llow local telemetry mode

echolinkdynamic = 1 ; 0 = Disallow users to change c
urrent echolink telemetry setting with a COP command
; 1 = Al
low users to change the setting with a COP command

Did you try echolinkdefault = 1?

As for your question of the Echolink -L being surpassed, I doubt it.

I’ve turned off all telemetry and connection announcements because a) they get annoying after a while, and b) if you connect to large reflectors (i.e., East Coast Reflector) they will ban you, it creates too much noise…

Tried echolinkdefault = 1 still no announcement

but you also have a good point, I very well might connect to east coast reflector, I have telemetry on right now for the node to help as I debugged even getting it to work with the radio. Probabably should turn it all off as since it’s on a simplex frequency, it should remain quiet for RF users on the channel who are not interested in the allstar link.

KC2NJV, I heard you come in to test… Thanks. Could not get to the radio fast enough…

Did you hear a connection announcement when I came in?
