Hello Brian (and the group),

I'm running two nodes at my QTH. Both use GE Phoenix radios (2211 is on VHF, 
2212 is on UHF) and each uses a CM108 fob. I'm using deemphasized   speaker 
audio.

I've narrowed down my problem to the microphone on my mobile radio (Icom 
207). Oddly enough, it will control my node fine on UHF.. Tonight, I 
injected tones into the transmitter without the Icom hand mic, and Allstar 
decodes the tones on VHF and UHF.

There seems to be quite a bit of distortion generated from the Icom hand 
mic. I suspect that the problem has been with me for some time, but I never 
noticed it, as my MT8870 hardware decoder will decode the tones (even with 
the distortion)..

73.
