You should try duplex=1 in usbradio.conf and verify that. All the duplex
setting in usbradio.conf does is allow the cpu time to be reduced when a
system is set up for half-duplex in app_rpt. Setting duplex=1 in
usbradio.conf and setting duplex=0 in app_rpt should still result in
half-duplex operation.

It really sounds like recording with any mode is broken, but I'd try
duplex=2 in rpt.conf and duplex=1 in usbradio.conf and see what results
there. If it is broken everywhere vs. just with a few configurations is
very useful to know.

Either way, once you have determined that where it works and doesn't
work its probably time to log the bug in Mantis with all of the findings.

BTW: Always bottom post on the mailing list. It makes the thread easier
to read.
