Yes, v1.5 code from hamvoip was installed recently for my first 
experience with allstarlink.

RPi2, and I read your original post and successfully completed "pacman 
-Sy xml2" prior to running the script.

I commented line 539 of your script to retain the file "after it plays" 
for debugging purposes when I heard nothing, e.g. "cat -n 
wx_condition.sh" shows:
...
    534  if [ "$View" == "p" ] || [ "$View" == "b" ] || [ "$View" == "d" ]
    535      then {
    536          cat $FNAME > /tmp/current_wx.gsm
    537          /usr/bin/asterisk -rx "rpt localplay $node /tmp/current_wx"
    538          sleep 2
    539  #       rm -f /tmp/current_wx.gsm
    540  } fi
...

As I mentioned, the /tmp/current_wx file plays properly via audacity 
when sftp'd to another machine but does not play on the allstarlink node 
for some reason; the node radio ptt is not even keyed. The audio from 
other nodes to which I connect or which connect to my node is always of 
excellent quality though.
