[arm-allstar] Node keeps rekeying up

[Doug Crompton]

John,

 You cannot connect a simplex node to a repeater without some adjustments.
The problem is your node has a courtesy tone which keys up on RF after the
repeater drops. The repeater hears this and again keys up and a loop forms.
To eliminate this you need to set  nounkeyct=1  in rpt.conf  - the default
is =0 or perform the tone. You could also set duplex=0 instead but that
eliminates many other telemetry things you may want to maintain. When you
make changes to the config files you must restart asterisk or reboot the
system for them to take effect.

Connecting a simplex node to a repeater is not a good idea unless you
either own the repeater or have permission to do so. You ID's will show up
on the repeater and the repeater ID's will go out over the nde and to
wherever it is connected. There are ways around this if you have control
over the repeater. If that is the case and you want more info let me know.
