[App_rpt-users] Issue with Hangup after first keying

Ok all I'm back to work today and playing with this setup again.

I was able to isolate a much better signal for COR than what I had before.
This now truely goes from 0V->5V only when receiving and not when
transmitting. However I'm still having issues.

As soon as asterisk receives a signal it immediately tries to transmit a
signal out. This then effectively pulls the PTT low and my receiver stops
receiving. It is almost like it is in duplex mode but I have in
usbradio.conf

duplex=0                ; Full Duplex

rxondelay=0             ; Uncomment and/or adjust for simplex nodes to
eliminate "Ping Ponging"
                        ; or "Relay Racing".
                        ; A positive value here will instruct the usbradio
driver to ignore the
                        ; COR line for a specified number of 20mSec
intervals following the
                        ; release of PTT. Use this only on simplex nodes,
and leave commented
                        ; out for repeaters or other full duplex nodes.
eeprom=1


Just for clarity I'll post my entire usbradio.conf below:

Any thoughts on why asterisk would be trying to send a signal as soon as it
receives one? After the first time (upon asterisk restart) it receives a
signal it sends a beep followed by a morse code sequence. 

Thanks,

Josh

Are you running full duplex on a simplex radio?

Hello,

It is my first posting on here. I have ALMOST gotten the ACID installation
working. I'm using the URI interfaced to ACID and to my radio. The asterisk
can properly key the radio and its working just fine with that. I can also
connect to the node with iaxRpt directly with no problem and transmit OUT of
my radio.

However I am having some issues when my radio receives communication in that
as soon as I get my first radio RX, asterisk will then play a tone out of
the URI into the radio over and over again at about a one second interval.
In the asterisk terminal it just keeps repeating:

    -- Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-1726358622'
    -- Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-1774817359'
    -- Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-691532115'
    -- Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-81389311'
    -- Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-465154784'
   -- Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-627058532'
    -- Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-1656870264'
    -- Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-1671691803'
    -- Hungup 'Zap/pseudo-50274194'

forever keeping my radio always keyed.

I have the COR from the radio going into the URI. I do not plan on using
CTCSS and have tried tying it to ground as well as tying it to the COR as
well. My usbradio.conf has the following:

carrierfrom=usb
ctcssfrom=no

I have tried also ctcssfrom=usb as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Josh
