There are not connect commands in rpt.conf other than those created by a macro or function based on DTMF commands or a startup macro which would perform functions on startup.</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Perhaps you mean using the client to connect?</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">asterisk -rvvv</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">CLI>rpt fun <yournode> *329277</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">This would connect you by command line.

Perhaps running a macro at startup would do what I want to do. (if that's the better option, some info on how to set up a macro that's run at startup would be very helpful!).</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">The reason is that occasionally the node has to be restarted, or is restarted due to a power glitch. That means the connection into the Hawaiian-Mainland Net goes away until I can manually make the connection. Since this connection is always supposed to be there, I'd like it to be made upon startup.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Thanks again for your help....</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">And any additional information on my Parrot mode question from anyone would be very helpful.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Why would I use parrot mode? I'd like to map out the coverage for my node using both an HT as well as a mobile device. A new node is going to come up in a neighboring town and there probably will be some overlap in coverage, so a coverage map of both nodes would be very helpful. Using Parrot mode (while disconnected and running as a simplex repeater) I can transmit from various places and hear back what the system heard. Once the coverage map is completed, I wouldn't have much additional use for parrot mode.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Thanks!<br clear="all"></span><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>--<br>Elder Roland Smith K7OJL</div><div>Laie Hawaii Temple Visitors' Center<br>Blog: <a href="http://www.rnsmith.com" target="_blank">www.rnsmith.com</a><div>Cell: 208-406-8449</div></div></div></div></div>
