I typically run my simplex link nodes with:
duplex=0
linktolink=yes

nounkeyct=1 in your rpt.conf node stanza
the will stop the node from transmitting after carrier drop from the
repeater
but still allow a courtesy status tones from the network.
if that does not work use duplex=0 in your rpt.conf node stanza. that
will stop all courtesy tones and tails from the allstar node.
|;duplex = 2 ; (Optional) set duplex operating mode ;; 0 = half duplex
(telemetry and courtesy tones do not transmit) ;; 1 = semi-half duplex
(telemetry and courtesy tones transmit, but not ;; repeated audio ;; 2 =
normal full-duplex mode (Default) ;; 3 = full-duplex mode, without
repeated audio from main input source ;; 4 - Normal except no main
repeat audio during autopatch only|
