[arm-allstar] Repeater Bounce

[Doug Crompton]

You need to figure out why it is ping/ponging. The usual reason in a
situation like this is that the repeater end drops and the Allstar end
responds back automatically and this continues on and on.  The Allstar end
responding back is usually always the courtesy tone. You need to turn that
off -

nounkeyct=1

in rpt.conf.  The thing I don't understand is that duplex=0 should also do
this but is overkill in many cases as it turns off ALL telemetry.

Setting rxondelay or hangtime to high numbers is not a good idea. Both
would really screw up the way it would be intended to work. You need to put
things back to default values. Only use either duplex=0 or the nounkeyct=1
to start with and remember whenever you change any of these things you need
to restart asterisk (astres.sh) for it to actually change.  With either
duplex=0 or nounkeyct=1  Allstar should not respond back after receiving a
transmission unless it is actually a real person coming back from a
connection to that node.
