[arm-allstar] playnews-0.6

[Doug Crompton]

I thought about that but there is no easy way. You would have to modify rpt.conf then reload it. Then modify it afterwards and reload it. It could be done in a script but that would be up to the user. I don't want to get into modifying user files.

An good option that would work is to setup a pseudo node and run it from there with holdofftelem=0. Actually you could have all telemetry set to off.  Connect that node to whatever other nodes on the server you want to play it on. I have it running on a  hub here that has no radios and most telem turned off so the setting holdofftelem=0 has no consequences. It is never a bad idea to run things like this on a pseudo node though. It doesn't even have to be a registered node. Use some node number less than 2000. No need to waste a registered node.

Doug,
Is there a way to add a command into the script to execute the holdofftelem=0 setting for the duration of the news playback, then set it back to what it was before?
Cheers,JoelW0KGW
