[App_rpt-users] [Bulk] Issue with Hangup after first keying

[Benjamin Naber]

I used carrierfrom=dsp and ctcssfrom=dsp

I am not sure why folks are having serious issues with that, but it
works very well, and I have zero issues with it. I do crude signal
testing with it, and even when the signal from the node radio is choppy,
I can still command the node to do things.

I would say the biggest hurdle for getting DSP to work correctly is
using the radio-tune-menu with a service monitor. This is to ensure the
input and output audio audio levels are correctly set, and the DSP
functions can understand the different audio freqs coming to it.

I do not use a COR/COS and the node does all the CTCSS stuff. Just TX/RX
audio, and PTT connections are made to the node radio.

for the radio that requires 5V or active HIGH, use the K0KN PLRI
interface. Very simple: a couple resistors and transistors. No need to
waste time modifying a USB sound FOB, which is difficult to do because
of the size of components one would be working with.

It looks like the signal goes high on BOTH RX and TX. This is probably causing asterisk to think its receiving when its sending getting into a nice infinite loop.
