[arm-allstar] Connect and Disconnect - Tones only without voice announcement

[Travis French]

Good Morning Dave,

I was thinking of that as well to just disable telemetry on the fly but was really hoping for something more permanent and streamlined.

I was envisioning the following:

Any Connect = a very specific high tone or sequence or maybe a morse code "C"
Any Disconnect = a very specific low tone or sequence or maybe a morse code "D"

I was thinking one of these options were already built in.

The other idea I had, as I do something like this on one of my other nodes, was to turn telemetry off, intercept the connect and disconnect logging scripts, and insert a command before logging to make the appropriate tone announcement. This specific script sends an email so it has nothing to do with telemetry. I am just wondering if turning off telemetry would block this announcement. I think this way could be doable and would need to be validated but didn't want to go that route if there was a more simple option.

Still playing. 

Thank you in advance,

Travis - K2PCB

Hi Travis, I am not sure what you mean by tones, courteous unkey tones ? I use cw k when someone on my node unkeys and cw L when someone on a connected link unkeys. I use dtmf to turn telemetry on and off. During nets that I listen to the telemetry gets in the way.
in /etc/asterisk  rpt.conf  i assigned 984 and 986 to cop commands, but you can use whatever is available to you.

[functions<your node>]

984=cop,33 ;telemetry enable ;turn on voice announcements 986=cop,34;telemetry disable ;tunr off voice announcements

So I send *984 to turn on voice and *986 to turn it off.

Hope that helps.
Dave
