[arm-allstar] voice beacon

[Mr. Possum (Bill)]

I do mine with a cronjob - I enter the following line in my crontab.

45 * * * * /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "rpt localplay 42466 /etc/asterisk/local/texasrepeaternetworkid1"  ; TTS ID

At 45 minutes past the hour it plays the file listed.  The file simply says "Thank you for using the Texas Repeater Network".

Creating the file takes a little bit of magic - but it isn't hard.  Refer to the TTS documentation.  (Text to speech)

Hello everyone

Is it possible to record a voice file for example "wav" format and then configure allstar to transmit it once every 30 minutes. I would like to create a voice beacon to announce locally the repeaters prescence.

if its possible could someone point me in the direction as how to do it.

thanks

Alan
