AllStarLink app_rpt is the core radio repeater controller module for Asterisk, providing functionality for amateur radio repeaters, links, and nodes. This repository contains the radio interface modules, signaling protocols, and repeater logic used in AllStarLink 3.

This code implements:

• Radio interface drivers (USB, serial, USRP, voter)
• Repeater control logic (courtesy tones, timeout, hang time)
• Digital signaling protocols (MDC1200, POCSAG)
• Radio bridging and linking functionality
• Configuration management and CLI commands
• Telemetry and monitoring systems

Feel free to open an issue for any trouble you might be experiencing with these modules. Please try to adhere to the following when submitting bugs:

• Enable debug to reproduce the issue. You can do this by running core set debug 5 app_rpt (less than or greater than 5 depending on the issue and how chatty the debug log level is). You can also enable debug all the time in asterisk.conf. To get debug output on the CLI, you will need to add the debug level to the console => log file in logger.conf. A debug log from the CLI in the seconds leading immediately up to the issue should be provided.

• For segfault issues, a backtrace is needed. Use ast_coredumper to get a backtrace and post the relevant threads from full.txt (almost always Thread 1): https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Getting+a+Backtrace (you can also run phreaknet backtrace - make sure to adjust the paste duration from 24 hours if you link the paste link)

• Describe what led up to the issue and how it can be reproduced on our end.

• Any other context that might be helpful in fixing the issue.

Thank you!
