[App_rpt-users] Issue with simplex node

[Mike/W5JR]

What user radio are you using to talk to the Icom? Are you by chance using DPL instead of PL? At least one vender of handhelds drops DPL when sending DTMF. Not good. PL and DTMF works fine in their radios. 

tnx

If that is the case then you either have an off frequency condition either in the node receiver or the radio you are TXing with into the node receiver or it is way over deviating. It could also be a PL problem. Too low a PL level from the TXing radio or a poor decoder in the nodes receiver could also cause that. Have you looked at levels?

For example as I’m enter *3node it will unkey at the star or sometimes at the 3 and sometimes at the end of the string at the last number and then sometimes it will work.  Also, there are times I can be talking on the node and right in the middle of my transmission it will drop then come back when it goes back to receive.  This has been baffling me for sometime.
