-====== Svx Mobile ======
-=== Plan... ===
-To make a mobile hotspot that will provide access to SVXReflector and Echolink as well as a handy single-frequency parrot repeater.
-===== Hardware =====
-Remains the same as the previous portable //hotspot//
-  * Raspberry Pi
-  * CM108 soundcard
-  * IC-2E or FT-60
-  * MiFi router
-It will be installed in my vehicle, which also has a TM-D710 for APRS and voice comms. The hotspot/gateway will use a handheld radio, either an old IC-2E for 2m (only) or I might experiment with the FT-60 as the radio, to allow either 2m **or** 70cm to be used, as required.
-  * <todo>Add 5V regulator to power R.Pi from 12VDC</todo>
-  * <todo>Put everything in a //grab-box// for portability</todo>
-==== SVXLink Config ====
-No big changes....
-  * Echolink Module enabled (switchable via DTMF commands)
-  * Echolink using a [[public:linux:jave_jre|Private Proxy]] running on my VPS machine to enable incoming connections.
-=== Logic.tcl additions for switching EL on/off ===
-Added to ''<...>/events.d/local/Logic.tcl''
-<code tcl>
-# This function can be used to implement your own custom commands or to disable
-# DTMF commands that you do not want users to execute.
-proc dtmf_cmd_received {cmd} {
-  #global active_module
-  # Example: Ignore all commands starting with 3 in the EchoLink module.
-  #          Allow commands that have four or more digits.
-  #if {$active_module == "EchoLink"} {
-  #  if {[string length $cmd] < 4 && [string index $cmd 0] == "3"} {
-  #    puts "Ignoring random connect command for module EchoLink: $cmd"
-  #    return 1
-  #  }
-  #}
-  # Handle the "force core command" mode where a command is forced to be
-  # executed by the core command processor instead of by an active module.
-  # The "force core command" mode is entered by prefixing a command by a star.
-  #if {$active_module != "" && [string index $cmd 0] != "*"} {
-  #  return 0
-  #}
-  #if {[string index $cmd 0] == "*"} {
-  #  set cmd [string range $cmd 1 end]
-  #}
-  # Example: Custom command executed when DTMF 99 is received
-  if {$cmd == "99"} {
-    puts "Executing external command"
-    playMsg "Core" "online"
-    exec /home/gm4slv/svx_ref_noel.sh &
-    return 1
-  }
-  # Example: Custom command executed when DTMF 98 is received
-  if {$cmd == "98"} {
-    puts "Executing external command"
-    playMsg "Core" "online"
-    exec /home/gm4slv/svx_ref.sh &
-    return 1
-  }
-  return 0

-  * DTMF command ''99#'' will cause svxlink to restart with a different config, that **does not** have ModuleEchoLink enabled.
-  * DTMF command ''98#'' will cause svxlink to restart with the standard config, the **does** have ModuleEchoLink enabled.
-=== Start with Echolink ===
-<code bash>
-#!/bin/bash
-CFG=/usr/local/etc/svxlink/svxlink.conf
-LOG=/home/gm4slv/svxlink.log
-sudo killall svxlink
-sudo killall svxlink
-sudo killall svxlink
-echo "25" > /sys/class/gpio/export
-sleep 2
-echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio25/direction
-sudo svxlink --daemon --logfile=$LOG --config=$CFG
-exit 0
-</code>
-=== Start without Echolink ===
-<code bash>
-#!/bin/bash
-CFG=/usr/local/etc/svxlink/svxlink_ref_noel.conf
-LOG=/home/gm4slv/svxlink.log
-sudo killall svxlink
-sudo killall svxlink
-sudo killall svxlink
-echo "25" > /sys/class/gpio/export
-sleep 2
-echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio25/direction
-sudo svxlink --daemon --logfile=$LOG --config=$CFG
-exit 0
-</code>
-It's probable that I'll configure the initial start ''@reboot'' to be //without// Echolink
-''crontab''  ->  ''@reboot sleep 30 && sudo -u gm4slv /home/gm4slv/svx_ref_noel.sh >/dev/null 2>&1''
-and then only enable the Echolink module (with ''98#'') when I want to be available on Echolink, or to use it myself.
-Using a PROXY server for connecting to Echolink is necessary because it's not possible to control external firewall/port forwarding when using the MiFi 4G router for internet access. Connecting ''direct'' to Echolink, without the ''proxy'' still allows outgoing Echolink connections.
-Rather than relying on other ''PUBLIC'' Echolink proxies I though it would be wise to install and run a proxy server myself, on the VPS machine. It turned out to be easier than I thought and the basic steps are [[public:linux:jave_jre| here]]
-=== Parrot ===
-I imagine being able to use the Parrot feature as a temporary single-frequency repeater perhaps for emergency use?
-I'll experiment....
