[arm-allstar] localplay

[(KP4TR)Ramon Gonzalez]

Doug,

Since the "saytime.pl" does work from the cron entry, I thought there 
was my solution to see why my localplay doesnt work. But when I looked 
at your perl script, it uses playback! The localplay commands are 
commented out.

But I found the issue. duplex=1 has to be set. It was the duplex setting 
in rpt.conf was set to 0 because my older existing node had it set like 
that and I assumed it needed to be the same to work as a simplex half 
duplex node.

So if duplex=0,  localplay does not work! Has to be a 1.

Thanks for your time! BTW I just installed another BBB on a friend's 
node who just removed his old noisy PC. Works like a charm!

73!
