[App_rpt-users] Micor Squelch like available on APP?

[Tim Sawyer]

Lu Venci,

I found the same issue thought I did not measure it as you have. I reverted to good-old Micor squelch and P/L reeds because I did not feel that app_rpt DSP did as well as the Micor  in either case. Sometimes 40 year old technology is still best.

When you are fluttering into the receiver, the app is squelching, muting and it does not allow for the extra rx unsquelched condition like the micor does when you are weak. So you end up hearing a lot of muting when the signal is useable. I know there is a delay and an attempt to remove squelch burst, but should that not be triggered by the DSP upon CTCSS decoder not seeing signal? I have heard this issue with other nodes as well, and I though all along it was a setting issue.
