[arm-allstar] Sending DTMF to Controller

[wb9rsq at gmail.com]

I do have and still operate an ACC 850 with the v3.8 firmware.
I have started but not completed a full capture of the vocabulary.
I also want to fire tones at the controller and traded messages on this list a week or so back about doing that.
My stratigy is to kick the local node in to command mode then fire the tones at the remote node and bring the local node back out of command mode.
So I created command functions on the remote node and macros on the local node that change command modes and trigger the remote functions I created.
I wish there was a way to trigger remote nodes to play audio files but I don't think that could be done without switching in and out of command mode so nothing gained.
Another method, not quite the same would be for the remote node at the system with the ACC to have two nodes.
One to operate the repeater and the second connected to the remote receiver port on the 850.
That node would only be there to send tones to the receiver port.
As it stands all of this is private since I don't have a way to keep the repeater audio on allstar clean from the other tones, speech and beeps/blips that are part of the normal repeater sound.
Once I have completed the vocabulary and other audio captures it might be possible to make the system sound like the classic controller but have it all done by an allstar node.
For now my IC900 remote bases are the main reason I'm keeping the 850 in charge.
Enough programming and the right radios could probably duplicate the remote bases.

I would love to find complete vocabulary ROM dumps, preferably easily converted to PCM, or already done, for some of the old classic repeater controllers — ACC, Cat, Etc. manipulating the old LPC stuff, you could build new words from bits and pieces of the old ones.
I do intend to create a royalty free English sound pack for HamVoIP at some point, probably just using my voice, but I don’t have a good recording environment right now, in the middle of a move. I have already created a few using various speech synthesizers, but there are restrictions that come with those, so I can’t distribute them.
