  8. # Fairly major improvements added as of
  9. # 2020-02-24 though this is still very much
  10. # a very crude and simple simplex repeater
  11. # script written in bash. Requires sox,
  12. # espeak, sed, tr, grep, morse (or cw),
  13. # and multimon-ng.
  14. #
  15. # This version allows for remote DTMF
  16. # controls. (2020/02/22)
  17. #
  18. # Now has automagic conversion of
  19. # espeak spoken call sign into NATO
  20. # Phonetics. (2020/02/23)
  21. #
  22. # Added several more variables to control
  23. # settings for various parts. (2020/02/23)
  24. #
  25. # Made the terminal output a bit more bold
  26. # so you can see what the parrot script
  27. # is doing at a glance. (2020/02/24)
  28. #-------------------------------------------
  29. # Save in its own directory as simplex.sh
  30. # and run:
  31. #
  32. # ./simplex.sh
  33. #-------------------------------------------
  34. # Use pavucontrol to select input and output
  35. # or however is easiest/best for your
  36. # working environment.
  37. #
  38. # Raspberry Pi may use alsa instead of
  39. # pulse. You'll have to configure things
  40. # with alsamixer or similar. It does seem
  41. # to use pulseaudio nicely when pulse is
  42. # installed.

  51. # I use an HT with an APRS cable and a
  52. # mic/headphones splitter on one end
  53. # to patch the radio into a Linux computer
  54. # or a Raspberry Pi. The Pi will need a
  55. # cheap USB soundcard. A USB soundcard
  56. # could also help with ground issues
  57. # (buzzing) on computers/laptops.
  58. #
  59. # You'll have to adjust input and output
  60. # volumes on the computer and the output
  61. # volume on the radio. I also set the
  62. # radio to use VOX in this setup.
  63. #
  64. # You could improve on this basic setup
  65. # in a number of ways but that's outside
  66. # the scope of this "simple" project.
  67. #
  68. # If you're reading this script in monospace
  69. # then this rough ASCII diagram of the setup
  70. # might help you get a clearer idea:
  71. #
  72. #                    -->[PC Mic In]
  73. # [HT]<-APRS->SPLIT-||
  74. #                    <--[PC Sound Card Out]
  75. #
  76. # In some cases, a ground loop noise
  77. # isolator or two might help with buzzing
  78. # sounds between the computer and the HT.
  79. #-------------------------------------------
  80.  
  81. #-------------------------------------------
  82. # VARIABLES TO CONTROL THINGS
  83. #
  84. #-------------------------------------------
  85. # Set SECONDS to greater than 600 to trigger
  86. # repeater ID at startup.
  87. #-------------------------------------------
  88. # Set DTMFCONTROLS to 1 in order to be able
  89. # to control remotely via DTMF commands or
  90. # set DTMFCONTROLS to 0 in order to disable
  91. # that functionality.
  92. #-------------------------------------------
  93. # Leave IDLOOPING set to 1 in most cases.
  94. # Since identifying a station every 10
  95. # minutes is legally required.
  96. #
  97. # You might want to turn off the ID Loop
  98. # while testing on your sound card only.
  99. # To do that, set IDLOOPING to 0.
  100. #-------------------------------------------
  101. # Set CALLSIGN to your call sign.
  102. #-------------------------------------------
  103. # Set CALLSIGN_SPEAK to 1 to have espeak
  104. # say your call sign in NATO Phonetics
  105. # during each 10 minute ID announcement.
  106. #-------------------------------------------
  107. # Set CALLSIGN_MORSE to 1 to have morse
  108. # (usually from the bsdgames package)
  109. # or cw beep out your call sign during each
  110. # 10 minute ID announcement.
  111. #-------------------------------------------
  112. # Set MORSEPROG to whichever text to morse
  113. # program you prefer to use. You can
  114. # uncomment for EITHER morse from bsdgames
  115. # or cw from the cw package.
  116. #-------------------------------------------
  117. # Set MULTIMONPROG to either multimon or
  118. # multimon-ng, depending on what you have
  119. # installed or prefer. Both seem to work
  120. # just fine for DTMF decoding.
  121. # (2020/02/23)
  122. #-------------------------------------------
  123. # Setting PARROT to 0 will disable the
  124. # repeat of audio received by the script.
  125. # Setting PARROT to 1 will enable the
  126. # repeat of audio received by the script.
  127. #
  128. # This way, a menu item in dtmfactions
  129. # can be used to turn on and off just the
  130. # audio repeat part of this script while
  131. # keeping the DTMF processing in place.
  132. # (2020/02/24)
  133. #-------------------------------------------
  134. # Some radios and radio/computer combos
  135. # seem to have a slow vox. In those cases
  136. # activating a sound just loud enough to
  137. # trip the vox on can help the radio be
  138. # ready to transmit the first second of
  139. # the recorded audio.
  140. #
  141. # Set PREVOX to 1 in order to activate this
  142. # feature or set PREVOX to 0 in order to
  143. # deactivate it. (2020/02/25)
  144. #-------------------------------------------
  145. # It might be useful to save/log all audio
  146. # traffic that passes through your simplex
  147. # repeater. In order to keep the size down
  148. # I convert the wav file to ogg in the
  149. # background. You could easily set that to
  150. # mp3 instead or you could skip conversion
  151. # and just keep the original wavs, if you
  152. # have plenty of disk space.
  153. #
  154. # Setting SAVERECS to 1 activates this
  155. # feature and setting SAVERECS to 0
  156. # disables it. (2020/02/26)
  157. #-------------------------------------------
  158. # Just a few refinements, more comments,
  159. # and some more DTMF command examples.
  160. # (2020/02/29)
  161. #-------------------------------------------
  162. # Considering a "Dead Man's Switch" option
  163. # that would require a DTMF sequence every
  164. # N amount of time in order to keep the
  165. # repeater running. That way, no spurious
  166. # parrots continue operation if they
  167. # can't be reached within a certain time.

    1. Any chance this could be updated to allow Raspberry PI GPIO for COS and PTT to get away from VOX?

      1. Someone who knows how to do that could do that. It's a bash script, so just about any change is possible.

      1. Update: This script seems to work very well with the new "vptt" option in the AIOC (All-In-One-Cable).
