[App_rpt] Dial-in access to remote base

David,

app_rpt.c version 0.152 appears to support setting idtime=0 and id messages won' be queued:

10985 /* place an ID event in the telemetry queue */
10986
10987 static void queue_id(struct rpt *myrpt)
10988 {
10989 if(myrpt->p.idtime){ /* ID time must be non-zero */
10990 myrpt->mustid = myrpt->tailid = 0;
10991 myrpt->idtimer = myrpt->p.idtime; /* Reset our ID timer */
10992 rpt_mutex_unlock(&myrpt->lock);
10993 rpt_telemetry(myrpt,ID,NULL);
10994 rpt_mutex_lock(&myrpt->lock);
10995 }
10996 }
10997

The source sometimes ends up being the user manual.

Nope, the idea of setting duplex=1 doesn't work. With duplex=1, the radio
TX is ALWAYS briefly keyed immediately after the COS signal from RX drops.
I tried setting hangtime=0, etc. This causes my HF rig to go into an
infinite key/unkey loop due to the nature of its voice squelch circuit.

I guess I can just make an audio file of silence for the ID and leave
duplex=0.....

Steve,

Cool! That fixed it! The ID'er is now stopped.
