Re: Transmitting 100hz tone with dire for voice alert.


 

I understand your intent, but I recommend against it. I was strongly admonished for using a Morse ID on my digipeater.
If APRS users in your area are more tolerant, I suggest using an external tone encoder and some method to enable it during speech output. (I'm a hardware guy, the coding for this project is beyond my skill set).

There seems to be differences of opinion on the intended purpose/application of Voice Alert. This page may clarify the function ...

The idea behind Voice Alert is to only transmit PL when transmitting voice. No PL when transmitting data. Transmitting PL all the time (by using PL on the radio) would defeat the point of Voice Alert and annoy listeners using Voice Alert to filter out the data transmissions.

The following command will synthesize a 100Hz tone:
?
ffplay -hide_banner -nodisp -autoexit -f lavfi -i 'sine=f=100'

There is likely a way to use ffmpeg/ffplay to mix this synthesized tone with the output of espeak but I haven't been able to figure it out.
