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

[Ed Wilhelm]

The Icom IC-A110 is an AM aircraft radio. Being AM there is no 
discriminator audio, and DSP derived COR won't work due to the nature of 
the AM signal. You're going to have to dig around in the squelch circuit 
to find a point that toggles. Most AM type squelch are usually derived 
from the AGC. Don't what they're doing in the Icom.
