[arm-allstar] half duplex node linking to a repeater

[Doug Crompton]

Earl,

  If you are using half duplex to a repeater you need to suppress the
courtesy tone.

nounkeyct=1

The default is =0 or do it.

Then you should be able to use duplex=1

The idea way to do this when connecting a remote node in half duplex to a
repeater is to have the repeaters output PL follow the input. Then Allstar
will follow the input to the repeater just like they were coming directly
into your node. This also avaoids all the ID and tail from the repeater.
Since most users of the repeater would want to hear the tail and ID a
second PL encoder installed in the repeater that follows the input and has
its tone on the output would be best. In this case the repeater had two
output PL's obviously on different tone frequencies, one follows the input
and the other follows the output. Your remote node listens for the input PL
and normal repeater users use the output PL.
