[App_rpt-users] AllStar as Repeater Controller Connect to Duplex Hub

[Mike]

Jim, I may be confused here so hang with me...

My understanding...
Yes, your hub is full duplex.
Your repeater should be full duplex as well.
You should not be getting anything 'back from' the hub that is generated 
at the repeater. It Should output from the repeater only. Anything 
originating or broadcasting to the hub would be shared with a link from 
the hub to the repeater except if it comes from the repeater.

So if I understand, perhaps the duplex mode of the actual uri ?
duplex = 1    ; Duplex / 0 - half duplex /  1 - full duplex

As I said, I may not understand the exact issue.
If nobody else gives any better guidance, perhaps just re-phrase the 
issue without the history of it.
