[App_rpt-users] think I asked wrong..

Until proven otherwise (meaning: you've clearly identified someone 
interfering), don't rule out spurious intermod and/or other dirty nearby 
transmitters. I've had this exact scenario several times and found some 
surprising causes---like a trucker with a very dirty and loud CB radio that 
was briefly keying a Kenwood TKR-850 (UHF!!!) even with receive PL tone 
enabled! This would happen for several minutes at a time, while he drove 
thru the area! 

As for logging transmission info, in the repeater stanza in 
/etc/asterisk/rpt.conf, try setting the parameter:

archivedir=<directory path to save files>


Then, you'll have a good quality audio and telemetry log of what's going 
on. Note that on my systems, I've made a new directory using (from the 
command prompt):

mkdir /var/snd
chmod 1777 /var/snd

Then, in rpt.conf I've got:

archivedir=/var/snd


Good luck chasing the interference. Persistence pays off.
