Also, if non-GPS-based operation is all that is needed, just the use of redundancy within the clients is sufficient, and does not require any use of the server redundancy features.

=Voter Recording and Playback=
 +
chan_voter has the ability to record VOTER streams by the channel driver live on the air (using the 'voter record' command in Asterisk). This also records time-stamped data and the voted receiver at that particular time along with RSSI readings. This can then be played back using the VoterPal GUI JAVA applet.
 +
 +
==How to setup playback==
 +
# Download the [https://allstarlink.org/voterpal/VoterPal.jar VoterPal application]. 
 +
# Download the [https://allstarlink.org/voterpal/lib/appframework-1.0.3.jar appframework-1.0.3.jar] and [https://allstarlink.org/voterpal/lib/swing-worker-1.1.jar swing-worker-1.1.jar] files. Place these in a folder called lib in the same directory as the VoterPal application
 +
# Run VoterPal.jar. You may come across issues with running Java such as security permissions. Most of these can be allowed.
 +
# Once running, you will see the applications GUI. File > Open to select your voter data files. A bunch of test files have been made already to test [https://allstarlink.org/voterpal/datafiles/ here]

 +
==== Activity ====
 +
This will show time-stamped information including RSSI of the selected VOTER client within the recorded data stream
 +
 +
==== Voter Clients ====
 +
This will show the real time voted client. This is also dependent of the Mode setting
 +
 +
==== Mode ====
 +
Various modes can be selected in VoterPal
 +
 +
0 - Normal Voting Mode 
 +
 +
1 - Randomly pick which client of all that are receiving at the max RSSI value to use
 +
 +
> 1 - Cycle thru all the clients that are receiving at the max RSSI value with a cycle time of (test mode - 1) frames. In other words, if you set it to 2, it will change every single frame. If you set it to 11, it will change every 10 frames. This is a serious torture test.
 +
 +
< 0 - Any value less than zero will force select the Voter Client (i.e. -1 is the first client, -2 is the 2nd client)     
 +
 +
==== Reset ====
 +
Resets the file back to start
 +
 +
==== Play ====
 +
Plays the recorded file
 +
 +
==== Stop ====
 +
Stops the current playing file in it's current position
 +
 +
==== CTCSS Filter Enable ====
 +
Removes CTCSS hum from any recorded audio stream
 +
 +
==== File Play Position ====
 +
Drag this slider to skip
