Via a bash shell script, I would like to interrupt the node radio Tx when a certain condition is met. “lsusb” returns: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0d8c:0013 C-Media Electronics, Inc. … which is what is interfacing the node radio. Is there a command which can immediately interrupt the node radio Tx, please? ---

I suggest doing that with controlstates. In rpt.conf uncomment and change statenum 1 to `rptdis`. Then you can activate the state from a script with `asterisk -rx "rpt cmd yyyyy cop 14 z"` where yyyyy is your node number and z is the state (0 or 1). ```auto [controlstates] ;statenum = copcmd,[copcmd]... 0 = rptena,lnkena,apena,totena,ufena,noicd ; Normal operation 1 = rptdis,lnkdis,apdis,totdis,ufdis,noicd ; Example repeater disabled ;2 = rptena,lnkdis,apdis,totena,ufdis,noice ; Repeater only operation ``` Hope this helps. Let me know if you have questions. ---

The accompanying announcements “FF1” and “FF0” are not silenced with the -m option to asterisk. How to silence them, please? ---

Sorry, I don’t know what FF0 and FF1 are. Have any more details? ---

Rereading this thread, I’m lost. How can `lsusb` cause app\_rpt to speak? That said, if you want to turn off command speech response and not allow users to turn it back on, make these two edits to rpt.conf. ```auto telemdefault = 0 ; 0 = telemetry output off ; 1 = telemetry output on (default = 1) ; 2 = timed telemetry output on command execution and for a short time thereafter. ``` and ```auto telemdynamic = 0 ; 0 = disallow users to change the local telemetry setting with a COP command ; 1 = Allow users to change the setting with a COP command. (default = 1) ``` However, you’ll still get a function complete beep, I believe. ---

You have these… Check your rpt.conf if using DTMF for your assigned command. =cop,3 ; System disable =cop,2 ; System enable rptena,rptdis - Repeater Enable/Disable
