[arm-allstar] Parrot Mode Question

[Jacques St-Pierre]

You also need to put in rpt.conf in the node section the following parameter:

parrotmode=1     ; 0=off 1= By Cop Command and  2=Full time parrot simplex/rpt

  Parrot once works too.   


        cop 55 Parrot Once if parrot mode is disabled

    This is what I have in my rpt.conf file for my parrot mode...

    810=cop,21      ;parrot mode on
    811=cop,22    ;parrot mode off


    That means *810 turns it on and when you are finished *811 turns it off.  That simple.

      I see that there is the ability to put AllStar into parrot mode either permanently or able to turn it on and off by command. 


      Exactly how to do this isn't quite clear to me ... 


      There is a config option to be set somewhere. What is that option? I'd like to be able to turn parrot mode on and off by DTMF codes. 


      The process of defining DTMF codes seems to be two-step process, one place to establish the command and another place to define the DTMF codes. Is that correct? How would the process to turn on (say *985) and the process to turn off (say *986) be configured?


      The reason for the question is that I've set up a new simplex node in Laie, Hawaii and want to map out the reach of the node. It seems to me the easiest way to do that is to have the Pi parrot back to me so I can hear what the system heard as I go around the area.


      Any help is greatly appreciated. With your information, I would be happy to write up an How-to article based on my experience as a new administrator of a node.


      Aloha!
