The following may or may not apply for a xipar distro. This
list primarily fields ACID and Limey Linux questions. It wouldn't hurt
to ask the same question over there.

For Acid and Limey, this is usually caused by not changing the default
configuration from CTCSS to carrier squelch.

You probably have txtone and txtone uncommented in usbradio.conf.
Comment them out like this:

;rxctcssfreqs=100.0	
;txctcssfreqs=100.0	

Also make sure that ctcssfrom=no

Restart asterisk when these changes are made to usbradio.conf
You might want to check the xipar website for details about how to do this.

Second, what you want is probably not a remote base, but a simplex node.
Remote bases are remotely tunable, simplex nodes are always on the same
frequency.
