I will be brief…
Post implementing ASL3 and making the salient configuration changes in the relevant .conf files, the RTCM appears to NOT be generating CTCSS. Is there an updated configuration for this functionality which didn’t exist in ASL2 / Etc. which I may be overlooking?

It will be much easier to help troubleshoot if you are able to attach your voter.conf and the main menu from your RTCM.
The best way is to copy/paste them into a code block here, by using Markdown syntax (three back ticks), like this:
voter.conf:
...this is an example...
I’m rather certain the voter.conf file and RTCM is correctly configured. I’ve been operating the system for the past 7 years.
I ask about specific changes with ASL3, as I am aware certain issues have required iteration through to resolve. As such, are you aware of any changes to the aforementioned configuration files with the ASL3 implementation?
Regarding the RTCM configuration - only parameters related to receive CTCSS are possible to interact with. Transmit levels are adjusted by a potentiometer, CTCSS is bootstrapped to the aggregate. What might you be looking for here?
Regarding the voter.conf file - three settings are exposed, CTCSS level, options for what happens at unkey, and CTCSS frequency. All of which are unchanged from the previous installation. What might you be looking for here?
Apologies for not sharing what you asked for specifically. Doing so exposes information I deem not for public consumption.
I am very familiar with the VOTER system and the VOTER/RTCM hardware. I have been operating a multi-site simulcast VOTER system for some time now. I built it on ASL2, and then converted it to ASL3 when it was released. It only took a couple of hours to make the switch. I had no issues, and it continues to operate just fine. CTCSS transmits just as it did in ASL2.
There are no differences in the VOTER configuration between ASL2 and ASL3, except for the default port being changed to 1667 instead of 667. Knowing this, you must have an error in your configuration.
Mason - I located the issue. I experienced a copy and paste error while moving previously constructed files. Your mention of no change between versions pressed a closer look. The stanza header was duplicated, one above the other, and my eye didn't catch it straight away.
Thanks for your help!
