The App_rpt default is a duplex value of 2 (full duplex) even though
it might not state that in rpt .conf. This seems to be the situation
for new default files created by the ACID install process. <br>
If the config files are downloded from the Allstar server then I
think it sets a duplex value in the RPT.conf based on what you set
up the server to be on the website.<br>
<br>
So if you connect a simplex radio witht he acid default files, you
will need to either add the line in the node stanza duplex = 0 in
rot.conf,<b> </b><i><u> and</u></i> you also must state the duplex
setting to 0 in the usbradio.conf file as well.<br>
<br>
see below: <br>
<br>
In rpt.conf:<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">[1234] ; Change this to
your assigned node number <br>
<br>
rxchannel=Radio/usb1234<br>
duplex=0 ; set to half duplex<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
and in usbradio.conf: <br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">[usb1234]<br>
<br>
hdwtype=0 <br>
rxboost=0<br>
txboost=1<br>
;rxctcssrelax=1<br>
;txctcssdefault=131.8<br>
;rxctcssfreqs=131.8<br>
;txctcssfreqs=131.8<br>
;rxctcssoverride=0<br>
carrierfrom=usbinvert<br>
ctcssfrom=no<br>
rxdemod=speaker<br>
txprelim=no<br>
txlimonly=no<br>
txtoctype=phase<br>
txmixa=voice<br>
txmixb=no<br>
invertptt=0<br>
duplex=0 ; set this to 0 for half duplex for simplex
radios, set to 1 for repeater full duplex<br>
rxondelay=0<br>
rxnoisefiltype=0<br>

You mentioned you set all duplex=0 then you said you were
not able to find the rpt.conf file. There is a duplex= in
that file in the node section that needs to be set to either 0
- simplex, no telementry or courtesy tones or 1 - simplex,
with telemeter and courtesy tones. If this is not set to
simplex and you are using a single transceiver the COS/COR or
carrier/signal detect will key the PTT and you will have a
race condition. The default is duplex=2 which is the commonly
used value for repeaters.<br>
<br>
rpt.conf is (should be) in the /etc/asterisk directory. If
for some reason it is not there look for a sample rpt.conf in
/usr/src/astsrc/asterisk/configs/</font> <br>
<br>
<font style="" face="Tahoma">I am not sure what percentage of
users configure as repeaters vs. simplex nodes but maybe it
would be a good idea to default this value to 0 or 1 as so
many including myself get burnt by this. Also there should be
a sentence about this in the quick install instructions. </font><font

AllStar node today. After hours digging through the sites and
getting the files setup correctly I have ran into a problem I
can not figure out. My radio that is hooked up to my AllStar
adapter keeps oscillating between TX & RX non stop. I have
set every instance of duplex I could find to Duplex=0. I have
also set carrierfrom=usb. This radio is a Radius UHF Mobile. I
have double checked the wiring connections and all is good.<br>

/etc/asterisk/gps.conf. is the location. When I look there it
