I'm guessing you didn't run the first time setup, when building this node?  
The setup scripts configure the node ID info for you....

There is also a node-config.sh script that will build the customized 
config. You can run this at any time, however, be aware it'll clobber your 
current configuration.  As for the actual manual steps to updating the 
callsign info, here they are:

In you /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf file, you need to change WA3XYZ to your 
callsign, for example:

; change:

idtalkover=|iDE WA3XYZ

; to:

idtalkover=|iDE K0LNY


; Then, to change the voice ID, this is set be the config statement. It 
; probably doesn't need to be changed:


idrecording=/etc/asterisk/local/node-id         ; Main ID voice


: ...You need to make a custom audio file with the announcement you want, 
; there are many ways to do this, for example, from a bash prompt:



/bin/rm -f /tmp/node-id.gsm

D="/var/lib/asterisk/sounds"

cat $D/letters/k.gsm >> /tmp/node-id.gsm
cat $D/digits/0.gsm >> /tmp/node-id.gsm
cat $D/letters/l.gsm >> /tmp/node-id.gsm
cat $D/letters/n.gsm >> /tmp/node-id.gsm
cat $D/letters/y.gsm >> /tmp/node-id.gsm

mv /tmp/node-id.gsm /etc/asterisk/local/


...And, that should give you an ID for your callsign.
