[App_rpt-users] Radio TX / RX oscillation and APRS questions

[wade]

Thanks for the file path for the examples that helped a lot. Got my APRS 
question fix by that!

I did locate the rpt.conf file in /etc/asterisk but it did not have the 
line "duplex = 2" in it. So I went ahead and added duplex = 0 in the 
file. Funny it wasn't in the file to begin with.

I did locate the issue after all this. The adapter I purchased had a 
wire reversed in the plug. Rewired the RJ-45 and now it works!

Thanks for the information!
