[arm-allstar] Courtesy tone mapping problem

I'm having a problem with courtesy tone mapping. I have two nodes on the
same server, call them NODE_A and NODE_B.
NODE_A uses channel driver rxchannel=SimpleUSB/usb. NODE_B uses channel
driver rxchannel=voter/NODE_B.
What I want is different courtesy tones on each node. When connected, if
NODE_A is keyed, I hear the NODE_A courtesy tone on both NODE_A and
NODE_B. And if NODE_B is keyed, I hear the NODE_B courtesy tone on both
NODE_A and NODE_B. Keep in mind I will have several voter nodes in the
future, and I want them all to follow this CT function, so plan on using
the linkunkeyct=by_node_number,ctxx.
In the NODE_A stanza, I have the following:
unlinkedct=ct2
remotect=ct3
;linkunkeyct=ct8
linkunkeyct=by_node_number,ct8
nodeNODE_B=ct12
;nolocallinkct=1
With "nolocallinkct=1" commented out, NODE_A uses the definition for
remotetx as a CT when a node is connected. to get around this, I defined
ct2 and remotetx to be the same.
If I connect the two nodes and listen to NODE_A, when accessing the
repeater using NODE_A, the CT is correct (remotetx), and when accessing
through NODE_B, the CT heard on NODE_A changes to ct12 as it should.
However, if I uncomment "nolocallinkct=1", and key NODE_A, I hear ct2,
but if I key through NODE_B, I don't get a courtesy tone listening to
NODE_A.
In the NODE_B stanza, I have the following:
unlinkedct=ct12
remotect=ct3
linkunkeyct=ct2
;linkunkeyct=by_node_number,ct12
;nodeNODE_A=ct2
;nolocallinkct=1
With nolocallinkct=1 commented out, it reverts to the remotetx
definition for the courtesy tone, since NODE_A and NODE_B are linked and
on the same server. I really want ct12 to be the CT heard on NODE_B when
NODE_B is keyed. So the only way I see to get around that is to
uncomment nolocallinkct=1. If I do that, I get ct12 as the courtesy tone
when listening to NODE_B and keying NODE_B, but I end up with the same
result as shown above. If NODE_A keys up, I hear no courtesy tone on
NODE_B. I also tried using the linkunkeyct=by_node_number on NODE_B,
but same results.
I thought nolocallinkct=1 would solve my problem, but it removes any
courtesy tone coming from another node. Is there a way to fix this?
Is it possible to move remotetx up into the node stanza and make it
equal to a defined ctxx so nolocallinkct doesn't have to be used?
Is there another way to accomplish this?
thanks,
Rick
