[arm-allstar] [solved] New weather script test

[Tony Ross]

Thank you for your help Doug. You are 100% correct in stating that 
"duplex=1" is required for node configuration in /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf 
in order for the script to generate audio.

The change has been made locally here and your script works as designed. 
Local "operator error" is once again applicable.
