I currently have a simplex node set-up.

When I use the command localplay, it doesn't key the radio.
app_rpt shows it's playing the audio message but it doesn't key up the radio (red light of the URI "on").
 
Although, when I use playback, It does work and keys the radio without issue.

I'm guessing for some reason it's because I am set-up as a simplex node??

 

further info-

audio file is ulaw, I did try it with a gsm file and had the same effect.

audio file is located in /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/messages, I added the directory " messages " for future custom repeater messages

852=localplay,messages/someaudiofile    is in the functions stanza

52=*852#   is located in the macro stanza

 

  Thanks
