[arm-allstar] echolink configuration questions

[Paul - KN2R]

Regarding question 1, I would turn that off as it may record the audio to
disk.  Not a good idea as it may fill up the SD-card.
Regarding question 2, to properly balance the audio levels between EchoLink
and AllStar use these settings in rpt.conf:
erxgain=-5
etxgain=4

Subject: [arm-allstar] echolink configuration questions

Hi:

I set up my echolink today, which I will use very sparingly, as I've never
liked it's audio quality much. There are some repeaters in my old home state
that are only available there.

Everything is set up and working on my primary node. I'd rather connect it
to a private node using the psuedo driver, but that's harder to make
outbound connections. I've read some of the posts on that. I'll work on that
later.

For now, I have two questions.

1. What does the recfile directive in echolin.conf actually do? Is this the
file that is played to connected users, or something else? I can't find any
real documentation about it.

2. What are generally recommended gain settings for Echolink? I heard talk
of this on the east coast reflector last week sometime, but wasn't paying
too much attention. I remember the values -5 and 4, but I could be wrong,
and don't know which matches rx and tx.

3. Is there a way to introduce a high pass or band pass filter between
echolink and allstar? I am finding that some clients, particularly those who
connect with iPhones 8 and newer, don't have optimal processing for
Echolink. Ultimately, this is something that the Echolink app developer can
fix by using a different audio profile, but I doubt that will happen. So, if
at all possible, I'd like to cut everything from about
300 hz down out of the incoming audio from Echolink. I suppose I could do
something weird, like using DVSwitch between two nodes on the same machine,
and bridge through A_B rather than connecting the nodes together in a more
conventional way, but that's a bit round-about.

Thanks and 73
