Software Radio-Phonepatch for Asterisk

[Arnau Sanchez]

Hello!

I am working on a software Radio-Phonepatch for Asterisk (developed in 
Python). It's still on beta state, but there may be someone interested 
on testing. Source and a binary package for Debian/Ubuntu are available 
for download. Bug reporting or ideas for new features would be appreciated.

thanks

Package: asterisk-phonepatch
Version: 0.1-7
Priority: optional
Section: comm
Maintainer: Arnau Sanchez <arnau@ehas.org>
Depends: python (>= 2.3), asterisk, sox, festival, python-serial, 
python-parallel, python-numarray, python-numeric-ext
Size: 512156
Installed-Size: 848
MD5sum: bf13ba5d035a301e790b2cf1a04692e1
Description: Software radio-phonepatch for the Asterisk PBX
  Although the term "phonepatch" usually refers to the hardware
  device used to connect a radio transceiver and a phoneline,
  asterisk-phonepatch is esentially software, as only needs a
  simple hardware interface between radio and computer (to send/
  receive audio, control PTT and, optionally, get carrier status).
  .
  Audio interface is made using the soundcard as A/D, D/A converter,
  while PTT (Push-to-talk) and carrier detection are operated
  though a serial/parallel port.

That sounds like a great project!

Come to think of it, an asterisk box is already most of what you need 
for a repeater controller.

I'm curious what functionality you needed that isn't available from
the existing * repeater module?

Hello Dennis,

Excuse my ignorance, but does already exist software that interfaces 
asterisk with a radio-transceiver using a soundcard?

Do you refer to rpt? I didn't find soundcard support on the rpt asterisk 
module. Anyway, I also wanted to add some features I think rpt don't 
have (I have hardly used it, so correct me):

- Very tolerant DTMF decoding (enabling also HF users to call)
- Each user has its own extension: when you call a radio-user extension, 
an audio inform about that the call if for that particular user (of 
course, there is no way to prevent any other user in the channel from 
answering it)
- Generic PTT/Carrier-detection support (although includes serial, 
parallel built-in). That means you can use the interface board you want.
