[arm-allstar] Tx and Rx LEDs on GPIO4 &5

I have setup a radioless node using Hamvoip on a RPi 3A+ and it works 
well. Am wanting to add LEDs to indicate Rx and Tx and found the info 
below in the archives but can't get it to work. The LEDs do respond 
to gpio commands entered directly so I think the hardware side is OK.

Can anyone please advise what the problem might be and if this is 
still the way to do it?

Many thanks and 73

The new ARN FOBs use it for COS but yes you can drive any bit you want.
This is nothing new. It has been there for a long time.  For the FOB you
just set the bit you want to output on assuming it is available adding this
in simpleusb.conf -

gpiox=outy    ; where x = bit number 1-8 and y is 0|1 for initial output
level

Then in rpt.conf as an event you add -

For RX indicator -

cop,62,GPIOx:1 = c|t|RPT_RXKEYED
cop,62,GPIOx:0 = c|f|RPT_RXKEYED

or

For TX indicator -

cop,62,GPIOx:1 = c|t|RPT_RXKEYED
cop,62,GPIOx:0 = c|f|RPT_RXKEYED

Where x is the corresponding port from the gpio setting in simpleusb.conf
