[App_rpt-users] CTCSS and carrier squelch

Sun Mar 7 17:45:17 UTC 2010

I verified your report and indeed it was only putting out the default
tone. I located and fixed the problem.

You still have to specify a default CTCSS tone (which will be transmitted
whether there is an input or not, and whether or not there is
CTCSS tone on the input).

I just sent the new software to Steve RoDgers and he will put it in SVN
later this morning.
