Yes, you are of course correct Steve!  Funny cos this used to work!

It looks like it is broken in all modes but slightly differently when
rpt.conf duplex=0. Se below....

usbradio duplex=1 rpt.conf duplex=0
Now I have tested with the config you described above, the system does not
create a file for radio RX signals going into the URI. However a file gets
created and audio recorded for anything going out from the URI and on to the
radio's TX.

usbradio duplex=1 rpt.conf duplex=1,2,3,4
A file gets created but no audio is recorded except a click at the end for
signals coming in to the URI from the radio.
Tx signals leaving the URI to the radio are recorded normally.

I'll put this on Mantis now..

Thanks Steve,

Matt
