Echo (playback)

What it is

Echo records incoming group voice and plays it back on TG 9990. It runs as a PEER process that connects to the ECHO master on the main peer server (TG 9990 bridge).

The playback runtime is part of adn-server; run adn-server.py --echo with minimal adn-echo.yaml.

Configuration

Use a small separate YAML — only what the PEER needs to attach to ECHO in adn-server.yaml:

Field Role
GLOBAL.SERVER_ID Echo network identity (often 9990)
LOGGER Log file (optional but recommended)
SYSTEMS.ECHO MODE: PEER, local IP/PORT, MASTER_IP/MASTER_PORT, PASSPHRASE, RADIO_ID, CALLSIGN, OPTIONS

No PROXY, ALIASES, or REPORTS required. MASTER_PORT and PASSPHRASE must match ECHO on the main server.

  • Copy adn-echo.example.yaml → adn-echo.yaml (not committed).
  • Run:
python adn-server.py --echo -c adn-echo.yaml

Typical production: separate systemd unit (see examples/systemd/adn-echo.service in the repo), same binary:

sudo cp examples/systemd/adn-echo.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now adn-echo

Relation to TG 9990

The main server exposes an ECHO master on TG 9990 for the echo bridge. The standalone echo service is a separate process with its own config that connects to that master.

Multi-hotspot behaviour (inject-only proxy)

When hotspots attach through the integrated proxy (PROXY), several radios may share the same MASTER as peers. In legacy adn-dmr-server each MASTER had a single peer, so echo naturally returned only to the caller. The multi-peer inject-only proxy enforces the same explicitly:

  • Point-to-point delivery. Echo playback (TG 9990) and on-demand service TGs (9991–9999) are delivered only to the exact peer that originated the call (RX_PEER on the active slot), never to other hotspots of the same user. There is no fuzzy matching on the source DMR ID.
  • Single-peer fallback. When only one peer is connected, the packet is delivered to it (legacy single-peer behaviour).
  • This applies to both the data plane (audio routing) and the report plane (BRDG_EVENT sent to the monitor): the monitor shows the echo chip on the originating hotspot, not on a sibling.
