Running a radioless ASL3 node (Asterisk/app_rpt, Debian 13) using Zoiper5 as an IAX2 softphone connecting via Rpt(NODE,P,CALLSIGN-P) in the dialplan — no radio hardware, no rxchannel carrier source.
Issue: RPT_RXKEYED never transitions to 1 when the Zoiper link is actively keyed and transmitting audio. carrierfrom and rxchannel settings appear irrelevant since Phone Control mode doesn't route through the local radio receiver path.
Questions:
• Is RPT_RXKEYED expected to reflect Phone Control (P-flag) link keying at all, or is it scoped only to local radio carrier detection?
• Is the correct way to detect phone-mode transmit activity via the trailing status letter on RPT_ALINKS instead?
• Has anyone gotten Allmon3's "keyed" indicator to reflect P-flag link activity for a node with no physical radio in the signal path?
Secondary issue on the same setup: calls bridge into a softmix base-bridge rather than a direct two-party bridge, and there's no connect beep/audio. Wondering if these are related to the same phone-mode-vs-radio-mode distinction.
Any pointers to app_rpt source sections or prior threads on radioless/phone-mode-only nodes would be appreciated.
