Our group may have a need to record the audio on the repeater, linked or
not (but if linked, include the mixed audio). It seems we have some
possibly unlicensed individuals using our systems. I say possibly,
because they're speaking Spanish -- they do seem to identify, but all the
callsigns we've heard are out of state and most are expired. We'd like to
start with making recordings to be translated after the fact, before we
start trying to track them down. Keeping recordings of on-air traffic
doesn't seem like a bad idea in any case though.
Is there a good way to make recordings with app_rpt? Asterisk itself
could do it, I think, although I'd have to figure out how (might have to
pass through meetme somehow), but I don't think local repeater traffic
ever passes through Asterisk in a way I can record?
Matt,
Put this command in the node stanza of the node you want to record in rpt.conf
archivedir=/var/log/asterisk/audio
It does not have to be this path. Put it wherever you want but create any directories that are not there. In this case the audio directory was created.
After you restart, ALL audio will be stored in wav files in the designated directory with a node number directory appended. Using above example if your node was 41000 in /var/log/asterisk/audio/41000
Each transmission will be a separate file date and time stamped.
In addition there is a txt file file for each day that includes ALL status information - rxkey, txkey, etc.
grep the txt file looking for RXKEY to see who keyed and at what time. Then you can reference to a date and time for the wav file to listen.
If you have multiple nodes you can put the statement in other node stanza and also save that nodes information.
Do NOT do this on a diskless system like a BBB as it stores lots of information that would quickly file the card and not be good for the SD card. In that case an attached large USB stick or USB hard drive would work.
As a side note the BBB and now the RPi2 have an additional command - archiveaudio= 0|1 to turn off the audio recording to save space if you just want to see the status information. 73 Doug

Hello everyone.
I have the following problem: Took several days I can not connect to nodes Allstar, but if I can connect to nodes echolink, though I have looked not find the problem.
I’ve looked ports and well.
Your node 29114 is not registering. Not knowing more about your setup, I suggest making sure iax.conf is set up per this link http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/80
