<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Thanks for the great explanation Doug. I have been working on this for like a month now and it was driving me crazy. You explained it well. I am glad I am not nuts. <br></div>I actually thought it might have been the file in rpt.conf called amplitude ans idamplitude? I tried playing with that to no avail? Its under the morse settings where I see it. I am now assuming that’s for morse only?<br><br></div><div>Thanks for the great tips.I will do what you say. I wonder where the other sound files would be such as "The time is" and "Connection to" etc? Maybe I can adjust each one?<br></div><div><br></div>Doug, while I got you where can I find info out about sox and also all the setting and what they do in rpt.conf, simpleusb and radiousb that really explains it well for this newcomer?<br><br> I am starting to dig this Linux stuff and its been a learning curve but has been worth every bit of it. The Pi is the neatest thing since the proverbial sliced bread. You have done a great job with it and the hard work is much appreciated!<br><br><br></div>Thanks so much, Jeff :)<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 29, 2015 at 4:04 PM, Doug Crompton <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:doug@crompton.com" target="_blank">doug@crompton.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Most people find that setting the RX and TX levels properly results in a reasonable voice level. I say reasonable because some would like it to be lower. As an example if you had the TX level turned up to compensate for a low RX level it would make the telemetry sound louder. So make sure you have them set correctly. <br><br>One way to change the level is to process all of the audio files to lower their level. I believe someone has written a script to do that??? It would basically run all the files voice through sox and reduce the volume. If it is just your local ID you want to adjust then it would be much easier. Just run the node-id.ul file in /etc/asterisk/local through sox to reduce the volume.<br><br>Changing the level of each file is a rather crude way to do it and a much better way would be to have a parameter to do this. This is yet another feature that should be included in a future release. Like the echolink level we should have a general telemetry level. It is on our list! <br></font><br><b><font style="font-size:16pt" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt" size="4"><a href="http://www.crompton.com/hamradio" target="_blank">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</a></font></b><font style="font-size:16pt" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div><hr>Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2015 15:25:55 -0500<br>From: <a href="mailto:jeff.savasta@gmail.com" target="_blank">jeff.savasta@gmail.com</a><br>To: <a href="mailto:arm-allstar@hamvoip.org" target="_blank">arm-allstar@hamvoip.org</a><br>Subject: [arm-allstar] Audio levels of announcements<div><div class="h5"><br><br><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hello all,<br><br></div>If this has already been addressed I apologize but being new to the group I was unsure of how to search through old posts as I am new to the group.<br><br></div>Here is my problem, I am trying to set up my audio levels on my allstar/Echolink Pi node.
