New versions of app\_rpt.c and chan\_irlp.c are available from svn: app\_rpt.c Version 0.181 chan\_irlp.c Version 0.26 1. Better control of IRLP connect and disconnect messages through config file options and DTMF commands, and added irlpplay CLI command to assist in queuing the messages one at a time. Attempt to resolve Mantis bug 0000003. New rpt.conf keywords for node stanza: irlpann={0,1} (0 = no irlp disconnect/connect massages, 1 = play irlp disonnect/connect messages) See source file for DTMF command usage. 2. Better control of Echolink connect and disconnect messages through config file options and DTMF commands Attempt to resolve Mantis bug 0000002. New rpt.conf keywords for node stanza: eannmode=(1,2,3} (1 = say node number only , 2 = say callsign only, 3 = say node and callsign) See source file for DTMF command usage. 3. Added feature to call an external program on connect and disconnect. New rpt.conf keywords for node stanza: connpgm=yourconnectprogram discpgm=yourdisconnectprogram Passes node which is processing the connect or disconnect as the first arg (us), and node which is being connected or disconnected as the second arg (them), Attempt to add Mantis feature request 0000007. 4. Convert morse code sender to use ast\_playtones\_start so that the timing of the morse code characters is consistent. Attempt to resolve Mantis bug 0000005. > **···** > > --- > > Steve > WA6ZFT ---

SO far I have tested the changes to the announcements. I find that the echolink announcements are changed as intended but I see no change to the way the IRLP announcements work. I still get the Male IRLP announcer first and then the female Asterisk announcement. I tried using the command line: rpt cmd 2250 cop 40 2250 and rpt cmd 2250 cop 41 2250 neither one had any effect on IRLP announcements. So I tried assigning a DTMF code to the cop commands and this didnt work for me either. I have a question: What are the Foreign Link Local Output Path statements for?

As an addition to my earlier email, I have now added the new code ( both app\_rpt and chan\_irlp ) to node 2250 and node 2259. The two nodes are connected together via IAX2. Having established an iaxRpt connection to node 2259 and listening to 2250 via RF I can hear the following results: Node 2250 has an incoming Echolink connection - announcement on 2250 is remote echiolink node callsign - correct Menwhile on node 2259, the echolink connection announcement is the node number. Reverse the node numbers and the scenario is also reversed i.e. incoming Echolink call to 2259 results in the callsign announcement on 2259 and the node number on 2250. I have invoked COP 43 on both nodes. I hope I have explained this clearly enough! The CW now sounds lovely by the way. Thanks for that one.

I have tried to duplicate this problem. I set up my nodes in a similar manner, and both nodes announce the same thing, or whatever mode I have set them to.

It's unlikely that it could have broken the normal IRLP connectivity. Suggestions: Try to "light-switch" the problem by repeatedly loading versions 0.25 and 0.26 repeatedly to ensure it follows version 0.26. 2. If if always fails in version 0.26, issue "rpt debug level 5" from the Asterisk CLI and then please post the output from the Asterisk CLI, after a connect attempt.

The foreign link stuff needs to be documented by Jim Dixon, as I don't have a complete picture in my mind of how it all works. I'll ask him to pull down the latest svn of usbradio/rpt.conf, and add the documentation into it. Steve WA6ZFT Steve WA6ZFT > **···** > > > 2009/5/17 Stephen Rodgers \
