Here’s my Xcat rpt.conf for a high band Syntor… This is running on Limey Linux not BBB.

; *** Status Reporting ***

[telemetry]
; Telemetry entries can be shared across all repeaters, or defined for each repeater.
; Can be a tone sequence, morse string, or a file
;
; |t - Tone escape sequence
;
; Tone sequences consist of 1 or more 4-tuple entries (freq1, freq2, duration, amplitude)
; Single frequencies are created by setting freq1 or freq2 to zero.
;
; |m - Morse escape sequence
;
; Sends Morse code at the telemetry amplitude and telemetry frequency as defined in the
; [morse] section.
;
; Follow with an alphanumeric string
;
; |i - Morse ID escape sequence
;
; Sends Morse code at the ID amplitude and ID frequency as defined in the
; [morse] section.
;
; Follow with an alphanumeric string
ct1=|t(350,0,100,2048)(500,0,100,2048)(660,0,100,2048)

;
; Morse code parameters, these are common to all repeaters.
;
[morse]
speed=20 ; Approximate speed in WPM
frequency=800 ; Morse Telemetry Frequency
amplitude=4096 ; Morse Telemetry Amplitude
idfrequency=1065 ; Morse ID Frequency
idamplitude=1024 ; Morse ID Amplitude
;
; This section allows wait times for telemetry events to be adjusted
; A section for wait times can be defined for every repeater
;
[wait-times]
telemwait=2000 ; Time to wait before sending most telemetry
idwait=500 ; Time to wait before starting ID
unkeywait=2000 ; Time to wait after unkey before sending CT's and link telemetry
calltermwait=2000 ; Time to wait before announcing "call terminated"
;
; This is where you define your nodes which cam be connected to.
;
[nodes]
; Note, if you are using automatic update for allstar link nodes,
; no allstar link nodes should be defined here. Only place a definition
; for your locak nodes, and private (off of allstar link) nodes here.
