Is there any real fact you can share with us, please?

I'm just done one interesting configuration. In same network, I have two EchoLink nodes.

1. I've run EchoLink via proxy on public IP without any port forward on MikroTik router.
2. Start AllStar EchoLink with port forwarding (5198/UDP, 5199/UDP) to it's local IP.

In both cases I connect to each node from my Android app successfully. Also, I made a test with Android apps: EchoLink, Zoiper and DVSwitch Mobile. The last one is preferable for hamradio purpose because it has big PTT button (red when transmit).

Now, I'm waiting for USB FOB with CM108 chip for interfacing AllStar with repeater.

In the meantime, how can I use GPIO pin for PTT function? I would like to set (or reset) a GPIO pin when I press PTT. Can I test the state from terminal with command: gpio readall ?
