NAME

6       remotetrx - The SvxLink remote transceiver application
7

SYNOPSIS

9       remotetrx [--help] [--daemon] [--logfile=log file] [--config=configura‐
10       tion file] [--pidfile=pid file] [--runasuser=user name]

DESCRIPTION

13       remotetrx is the SvxLink remote transceiver application. It is used  to
14       connect  to  a  receiver  and/or  transmitter and then the main SvxLink
15       server can connect to the remote transceiver server via TCP/IP  to  get
16       audio to/from it.
17
18       It  is  also  possible to link via RF instead of via TCP/IP. An example
19       use of the latter would be if the repeater is placed in a remote  loca‐
20       tion  where there is no network. Then networked remote receivers can be
21       linked up to the repeater via RF from a  link  site  where  network  is
22       available.
23
24       The setup is pretty straight forward. The setup of a receiver or trans‐
25       mitter is done in the same way as in the  SvxLink  server  so  use  the
26       svxlink.conf(5) manual page as a reference for that. The remotetrx spe‐
27       cific configuration is described in the remotetrx.conf(5) manual page.
28
29       On  the  SvxLink  server  side  you  need  to  configure  a   networked
30       receiver/transmitter.  That  is described in the svxlink.conf(5) manual
31       page in the Networked Receiver/Transmitter Section. If  using  multiple
32       receivers  you  also want to configure a voter and make proper calibra‐
33       tion of the signal level detector on each receiver.
34

OPTIONS

36       --help Print a help message and exit.
37
38       --daemon
39              Start the SvxLink remote receiver server as a daemon.
40
41       --runasuser
42              Start RemoteTrx as the specified user. The  switch  to  the  new
43              user will happen after the log and pid files has been opened.
44
45       --logfile=log file
46              Specify  a  log  file  to  put  all output into. Both stdout and
47              stderr will be redirected to the log file.
48
49       --pidfile=pid file
50              Specify a pid file to write the process ID into.
51
52       --config=configuration file
53              Specify which configuration file to use.
