== Simplex Autopatch ==
 +
For nodes with duplex set to 0 or 1, Simplex Autopatch operation is supported.
 +
 +
This is accomplished by using a VOX on the audio coming from the telephone call,
 +
 +
because of the half-duplex nature of the node. To avoid having audio from the
 +
 +
telephone call keep the transmitter engaged for extended periods of time (if there
 +
 +
is some source of continuous audio), there are two time-out values. One is the
 +
 +
Vox timeout, which is the maximum amount of time that the VOX can hold the transmitter
 +
 +
engaged, which by default is 10 seconds. The other one is the Vox recovery time, which
 +
 +
is the amount of time that the Vox is disabled during times of continuous audio, after
 +
 +
the Vox timeout, which is 2 seconds. So, during continuous audio, it transmits for
 +
 +
10 seconds, then stops for 2 seconds (so that you can transmit to it and perhaps
 +
 +
disconnect the call), then transmits for another 10 seconds, then stops for 2 seconds,
 +
 +
and so on.
 +
 +
Additionally, to prevent 'chop-off' of the first syllable or two of the audio from the
 +
 +
telephone call, we delay the audio to allow for the transmitter to start transmitting
 +
 +
and any CTCSS tones to be decoded. This delay is typically 500ms, but can be adjusted
 +
 +
via the 'simplexpatchdelay' parameter. It is specified in units of 20 milliseconds.
 +
 +
These time-out values may be overridden by using the following configuration parameters
 +
 +
located in the [<node-number>] section of rpt.conf:
 +
 +
[1999]
 +
 +
.
 +
 +
.
 +
 +
.
 +
 +
voxtimeout = 10000 ; vox timeout time in ms
 +
 +
voxrecover = 2000 ; vox recover time in ms
 +
 +
simplexpatchdelay = 25 ; Delay for transmit while in patch in 20ms increments
 +
 +
.
 +
 +
.
 +
 +
.
 +
 +
If not specified, it uses the default values as specified above.
