OK here's what happens..... rpt.conf Duplex=1 Any signals going from App_rpt to the radio get recorded. A WAV file gets created in the archive directory and the outgoing audio is recorded. Any signals that come in on the radio, going towards App_rpt do not get recorded. A WAV file gets created but when played back there is no audio.
rpt.conf Duplex=3 Is the same.
I think the duplex setting in usbradio.conf will make the setup record audio in both directions if full duplex is set to 1 but I cant operate the system in full duplex here as previously described.
Thanks for your help guys,

Hi, I would like to monitor the activity on my link by using the function provided in app_rpt to record to the HDD.
However, I am only able to record one half of the conversation.
This node has a simplex radio connecting to a repeater via the repeater pair, so is not operating in full duplex mode.
Is there anything I can do to be able to record both sides of the conversation?
Many thanks,
Matt G4RKY

This may be broken on simplex nodes. Please reverify it still works in duplex mode by setting duplex=2 and temporarily opening the PTT line to the transmitter on your simplex radio.

You should try duplex=1 in usbradio.conf and verify that. All the duplex setting in usbradio.conf does is allow the cpu time to be reduced when a system is set up for half-duplex in app_rpt. Setting duplex=1 in usbradio.conf and setting duplex=0 in app_rpt should still result in half-duplex operation.
It really sounds like recording with any mode is broken, but I'd try duplex=2 in rpt.conf and duplex=1 in usbradio.conf and see what results there. If it is broken everywhere vs. just with a few configurations is very useful to know.
Either way, once you have determined that where it works and doesn't work its probably time to log the bug in Mantis with all of the findings.
BTW: Always bottom post on the mailing list. It makes the thread easier to read.

Yes, you are of course correct Steve! Funny cos this used to work! It looks like it is broken in all modes but slightly differently when rpt.conf duplex=0. Se below.... usbradio duplex=1 rpt.conf duplex=0 Now I have tested with the config you described above, the system does not create a file for radio RX signals going into the URI. However a file gets created and audio recorded for anything going out from the URI and on to the radio's TX. usbradio duplex=1 rpt.conf duplex=1,2,3,4 A file gets created but no audio is recorded except a click at the end for signals coming in to the URI from the radio. Tx signals leaving the URI to the radio are recorded normally. I'll put this on Mantis now.. Thanks Steve, Matt
