**MB7AZE** is now QRT and the NoV has expired. 

I may run AllStar at times from a personal node/gateway [[public:musings:radio:dormant:gm4slv_allstar|]]


The following is for historical interest only....

===== Courtesy Tones =====


Can give information about the node status.

After a local Transmission on the "input" frequency the reponse will be one of:

  * Morse Letter **I** (di-dit) = node is not connected to any other nodes
  * Morse Letter **R** (di-dah-dit) = node is connected in "Monitor/RX only" mode to one or more nodes
  * Morse Letter **K** (dah-di-dah) = node is connected in "Transceive" mode to one or more nodes

There are other tones, e.g. when a station on a linked node unkeys there's a low-pitched "bloop"

When a local RF station sends a command there's a "bip bip" (not to be confused with the Morse letter I)


===== Echolink =====

AllStar nodes can also connect to [[https://www.echolink.org/logins.jsp|Echolink]]

The node is connected to Echolink as ''MB7AZE-L #879598''


/*
(**UPDATE** --- //John Pumford-Green 01/06/22 17:21// )

I have disabled the Echolink connection by editing ''/etc/asterisk/modules.conf'' to change the channel driver for Echolink to ''noload'' ->

<code conf>
noload => chan_echolink.so ;
</code>

an Asterisk reload is necessary:

<code bash>
gm4slv@mb7aze:/etc/asterisk$ sudo astres.sh
Restarting Asterisk
systemctl restart asterisk.service
</code>
