Re: Node Connected Announcement

You can't do that through app.rpt. Telemetry isn't really configurable other than if it's on all the time, off, or on for a couple of minutes after each command. One could theoretically write a script that replaces that functionality, which is then tied to connpgm and discpgm in rpt.conf, then set telemdefault=0. Not something I've tried to do, but I know how it might work in theory.

That being said, I use the write_node_callsigns script on my nodes, which runs every morning at 3:16 AM EST on cron to pick up new node numbers for the day. I have it run at 3:16 AM, because this is one minute after the astdb.php job runs, which is a local list of all nodes on the allstarlink.org registration system, not just active nodes.

Ideally, I would use a local TTS engine and have everything in one utterance rather than using pre-recorded sound files, which could give you the same or more information in a lot less time without losing clarity, but there aren't really any good local TTS options that will actually run on a Raspberry Pi, and don't depend on someone's online API. I don't count eSpeak. There are the Cepstral voices, I guess, but I don't like their version of diphone concatenation. It's very choppy.

As it is, I replaced Allison on my nodes a long time ago using a very fast formant synthesis by rule engine, in this case, the Apple Fred voice. Not something you'd want to use on a repeater, but as a daily user of TTS (I'm blind and use a screen reader,) it became tedious very, very quickly listening to the stock voice. Yes, I could have sped it up, but with all or most of the sound files already being compressed with a lossy codec, I didn't want to add even more artifacts.

Anyway, that's probably way more than you asked for without actually telling you what you wanted to know.

I do not think you can do that, but why don¡¯t you change it to say call signs instead of no numbers makes it a lot less annoying

I swore I saw this when I first installed Allstar (HamVoip).? I want to disable the announcement of my local node number when a connection is established.? Currently the announcement states "node xxxx connected to node xxxx".? I'd rather it only announce the remote node number is connected and leave out the local node number.? Am I imagining seeing this?
