[arm-allstar] Mute or attenuate link audio during repeater conversation

[Sam Nabkey]

This might be what you want... Although, I am not sure if its in the BBB /
Rpi2 code..  If Doug doesn't know about it, it probably was removed.


http://docs.allstarlink.org/drupal/node/71 states:


linkmongain=

Link Monitor Gain adjusts the audio level of monitored nodes when a signal
from another node or the local receiver is received.

If linkmongain is set to a negative number the monitored audio will
decrease by the set amount in db.

If linkmongain set to a positive number monitored audio will increase by
the set amount in db.

The value of linkmongain is in db. The default value is 0 db.

linkmongain=-20   ; reduce link volume 20dB

requires app_rpt version 0.323 06/07/2014 or newer
