[arm-allstar] send courtesy beep to echolink users

[LaRoy McCann]

Doug,
Thanks for the reply's.

If this system was connected to another echolink system or allstar link 
system then I certainly would not want to send messages to linked 
systems. But it looks like if  I wanted to do so it should be able to do 
it.  We have plans to link a couple of local repeaters together and I 
could see it sending announcements across links at times.

Even the links you gave me show that telemetry should be able to go to 
echolink.
http://docs.allstarlink.org/drupal/node/125
This shows "/There are 5 telemetry channels which can be individually 
managed:/"
This shows Echolink to be a telemetry channel.

Is telemetry only "beeps" or is audio from playback and local play 
considered telemetry?

Thanks,

LaRoy McCann, K5TW (formerly N5OHO)
