ModuleParrot

The Parrot module plays back everything you say. This can be used as a simplex repeater or just to hear how you sound to other stations. It also tells you the DTMF digits you press. The latter function can be used to test if the link is correctly receiving your DTMF digits. As always, end all DTMF commands with the number sign. If you are just after the DTMF read back function you don’t have to activate the module first. Just send a command like 1<digits># (e.g. 112345#) and the digits after the leading module id will be read back.

There is a maximum recording time that the sysop can set in the configuration file (FIFO_LEN). If the squelch is open for a longer time than the maximum time, the oldest audio data will be thrown away.

Also if you omit the TIMEOUT setting from your config there will be none.

Exit the module by sending just the number sign.

To run parrot on startup, you can use the injectDtmf at the end of your logic tcls startup{} function , eg if you want to activate module number 1

injectDtmf 1#
