[arm-allstar] voice beacon

[Doug Crompton]

Alan,

 See the TTS howto on the hamvoip.org web page. It explains how to convert
a WAV file to the format required by Asterisk/Allstar.

You could use cron and the localplay command to do it timed to some period
but I would not recommend it as this would transmit regardless of activity
on the channel. A much better approach would be to use the tailmessage
command. This transmits the message or messages only when someone actually
keys up thus the tail of their transmission. You can set the time between
transmission so it would not be on every tail.

See - http://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/Rpt.conf#tailmessagelist.3D

for info on the tailmessage and tailtime commands.

Also keep in mind that Autosky use the tailmessage command so if you are
using that you would have to integrate in your message.
