Recording our repeater's audio via AllStar

AllStarLink
1

I have searched on the forum and found a few instances of this. However most of them are very old. Understand I am very new to AllStar and so some of my questions may be pretty naive.

Here is my setup;

I am using ASL3 on a RPi4. This is at my qth. I am linking to our repeater via a 220mhz link with another 220mhz link at the site. This is connected to our Arcom controller on our 2mtr machine. What is transmitted at the repeater site gets TX'ed back to my house and vise versa. Working great right now.

I know there is a record function within the software. Just not sure how to install this portion. What I would like to do is to be able to turn this on / off as well. Also would like to have it record conversations and be able to go back and archive these. Not sure if these could be pushed to a thumb drive connected to the Pi but that would be nice to be able to access those thru the network or pull the drive and plug them into my desktop.

TIA,

Robert

Have a look at ASL Manual : Audio and Activity Logging

Ok,

Great info. Look in the manual :wink:

Who has or is using this? I can see where this can REALLY use up a lot of space. So putting this off of the main sd card is what I would like to do. Who has done that and what was the process?

Thanks,

I do it on an sd card… I delete any recording more than 60 days automatically. No reason to keep audio files more than a month. It only records when a signal is received.
