[arm-allstar] Duplex=0 - messages still possible

[David McGough]

Hi John,

I'm just catching up on some e-mail from last week and noticed your 
message about the 7330 and audio issues.

Based on your comments, I'm guessing that you have AllStar connected to a 
full-duplex capable interface on the 7330??  If this is the case, then 
duplex=0/linktolink=yes probably isn't the correct node setting, and is 
the cause of the audio "muting" on the IAX2 link.

In your situation, assuming the controller is setup for full duplex, you 
probably want the node set in duplex=3 mode. This mode makes AllStar act 
like a normal full-duplex repeater controller, BUT, without repeating the 
actual audio stream, since the 7330 is already performing this action.

...Anyway, just a thought.

73, David KB4FXC
