Channel Control using GPIO
Dave its even simple than BCD, all I have to have is a logic level hi or low to select the channels on the 13 pin accessory plug on the back of the motorola CDM radios

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

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.

You can do 15 channels via 4 logic inputs with the CDM. It's binary
select...
Example:
1000 channel one
0100 channel two
1100 channel three
0010 channel four
1010 channel five
0110 channel six
Etc etc...

A LINUX guru is helping me debug some network issues we are having with
dropouts and said it is likely you have one of these packages already
installed. Here is a link he sent me on some of these:

Hi Tom,
No SNMP tools are pre-installed. However, you can get various tools from
the package archive with: pacman -S <packagename>
You can find a basic listing of available packages, here:
https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/
Looking that the monitoring software listed in the link you sent, many of
those packages are very comprehensive, but also VERY heavy. I'm not sure
I'd want to install this software on an RPi2/3 board and try to log to the
SD card or do packet inspection!
It goes without saying, of course, that you must very careful using SNMP,
since SNMP can generate some ugly security holes without great caution!
What type of network dropouts are you experiencing?

Ken,
nounkeyct=1 did the trick! :-)
And thanks for the link to the rpt.conf reference. That will help me a lot in the future.
Once again, a really fast reply that fixed my issue immediately.
You guys are awesome.
