Allow faster morse speed. #368

There was a problem hiding this comment.
AllStar is built in the US where part 97 FCC rules limit CW ID to 20wpm. Somebody way back when thought "enforcing" 20wpm was a good idea. It wasn't. ASL has no responsibility to insure radio systems are operated in accordance with local regulations and should not imply so by setting a 20wpm CW speed limit.
I like to know why is 35 the requested limit?

Hi Tim,
I agree.
35 seems a sane number. I've never heard a repeater or link with anything faster than 30wpm.
The CW idents in the UK are usually around 20 to 25 wpm. We don't have an imposed speed limit.

BEFORE merging we NEED to ensure that this change won't impact existing configs. |
|
If someone has a speed faster than 20wpm defined, after the merge it will go up to the amount set or capped at 35. |
|
It should stay the same (whatever it's currently set at). If they've set it at 30 it will go up to 30. The limit is 35. |
|
My apologies. I was thinking that this was [another] rpt.conf change. Yes, this change was fine to merge. |
|
The fix for this issue has been incorporated into ASL3-Asterisk 20.9.1+asl3-3.0.4-1 |
Fixes #367
Increase the max limit to 35wpm.
