I have several AS nodes (pre Allmon3) and all work on DTMF. I have tried different changes to the RPT.Conf file and still can't get my AS 3 node to respond. Would anyone have detailed information or examples regarding the settings needed with the RPT.Conf file that you might be willing to share. A URL or anything would be helpful.

I take it from a radio connected to it? Check audio level in the simple usb for correct 3 kHz audio level. Also if some decode some don’t toggle the pre-emphasis.
Watching the simple usb audio menu 2 when it detects proper dtmf the audio should drop to zero.
Kevin, there are many possibilities here.
To narrow it down on your own,
First I would be watching asterisk in the foreground
asterisk -rvvv
And see that DTMF is being decoded correctly.
By default, many of the dtmf assignments are commented out in rpt.conf, so you need to look that over.
Most all the dtmf calls are in the functions stanza in rpt.conf so a simple call to functions=functions (or equivalent assignment) for the node in question.
You might also test the call to dtmf from the asterisk CLI> command line to be sure it is valid in the command list.
So, without knowing if you have a audio problem or a command structure issue,
that is the best pointers I can give without any specifics.
What DTMF are you trying to do? Also, are you rebooting the node after the changes or just restarting asterisk? You should be rebooting for it to take effect after changes are made.
There is no need to reboot when editing asterisk .conf's
Restart asterisk only or in some cases, only reload dialplan,iax,sip.
If you are making changes to anything in the OS that loads only during boot, then you need to REBOOT. Otherwise, restart that service.
In my steep learning curve in the 3 months that I have been learning with both Linux and Allstar link at the same time I have learned to get one node to work in as simple configuration as possible. I cannot stress enough the importance of peoper audio levels in getting the dtmf to work.
