  • SPAM: [echoirlp] Two Audio related problems.

    From ZS2CJ@432:1/101 to echoirlp@groups.io on Wed Jul 20 17:26:19 2022
    Hi all, I setup a echoirlp about a year ago, and all was working well until I got complaints from the member about the continuous connect and disconnect messages which were happening day and night. It got so bad that a lot of our members stopped monitoring the repeater. This happened a while ago and I am not sure what I changed but it stopped with the messages and everyone was happy. Connecting in via DTMF to the echo test server was and is still working 100%. If I connect in via my phone I still see I am connected via TBDCMD .users, but TX on the phone, does not come through the repeater, and RX does not come through to the phone if I TX via VHF side. Strangely enough two of us connected into the repeater from our phones can TX/RX amongst ourselves without any audio going through to the repeater.

    Two questions, firstly what have I broken and how do I fix it, and secondly once it is fixed how do I stop the connect and disconnect messages from being broadcast on the local repeater, and only through to the echolink station. I have been running around in circles for the last week, and I ma no closer to a solution.

    Any help would be appreciated

    So trying something unrelated, I managed to find the problem and think I have it resolved it, but only through a hack.

    Originally I was trying to stop the announce from happening. and missed the comment # on the else which broke the script. I figured this out using tbd -d and saw how it failed. I still have a question regarding the logic of the

    if [ "$ECHO_SAY_NODE" = "NO" ] ; then line.

    Rightfully this will still announce even if i set it to NO.

    if [ "$ECHO_SAY_NODE" = "NO" ] ; then
    # "$ECHO_SCRIPT"/echo_wavplay echolinkon echo_on
    # else
    # callsing or node

    By commenting out the three lines I have made all the members happy, but I am not sure this is the correct way to do it.

    First rule of customizing software. Always create a backup copy before
    changes, and continue to backup often, to be able to restore to a working version when it breaks. :-)

    Perhaps the simplest way to stop EchoLink connection announcements from transmitting on the node radio is to comment out the "key" statement in the "echo_wavplay" script. There are a few other scripts that transmit audio separately, but echo_wavplay is the common script for most transmissions.
