RF repeater linking using Allstar

I have seen many posts here about linking repeater via rf into all star I would like to do the same thing here where I live there is repeaters close by that I would like to link them into my repeater however it seems that my problem has come up with ensuring proper Id by the link radio. I need the radio to only ID when it transmit I have found so far that Duplex=0 does not work for this set up it stops all Id’s all together I really don’t need any telemetry data of other links connecting up to the repeater because this will add extra transmit time etc…Here is a sample of my rpt.conf file If some one would show me where i messed up that would be great remember this is a link not a repeater and the link is connected to a USB uri that is connected up to a VHF Motorola Maxtrac the radio has been programmed to specific frequencies I would like to use and pl tones applied… So the goal here is to get the node to key up to the repeater give an id when there is traffic coming through the node not when traffic is received from the repeater… So example problem with Duplex=1 repeater keys up with tones and ids but every 10 minutes the repeaters get into a repeater id war repeater ids then node ids which resets repeater timer and makes the repeater id then turns around and resets node timer and causes it to id… So… where did i screw up with the config file…
