[arm-allstar] ARRL NewsLine - Allstar Automated Script

[John Hoser-Smith]

Thanks Doug.  I suspected the ARRL NewsLine (error?) was at their (ARRL) end.After all - your Bash Script worked for weeks....still worked this week - but pulled an old file.
Mother's Day Special (HA!) I guess.
Doug - I need to increase the Timeout Setting for one of my Allstar Nodes.
Inside  rpt.conf  (I  found)

tx_timeout=240000      

Is this the setting I need to increase to have my Allstar Radio transmit for longer times before a timeout?
Thanks - 73sN0ECT

This name does not change.
