[App_rpt-users] Simplex link to a repeater via Motorola maxtrac

[Tim Sawyer]

The app_rpt IDer is triggered on transmit activity only. I suspect your node’s transmitter is actually being keyed on repeater activity. 

Is your node set for duplex=0? See: http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/84

Make sure the beacon mode is not on. 
;beaconing=0       ; Send ID regardless of repeater activity (Required in the UK, but probably illegal in the US)

For what it’s worth, what your are doing is not recommended. In-band linking can the following problems:
1) If not specifically addressed your repeater hang time, courtesy tone, and IDer will be heard by other nodes.
2) Two or mode nodes with improper in-band linking will cause an endless pingpong. 
3) Half duplex nodes don’t always have over-the-air control. 
4) The audio will be slightly degraded because of the extra radio. 

Having said that, items 1 and 2 above problems can be avoided by setting your node to decode PL and either:
1) Set your repeater to encode PL only on user input.
2) Set your repeater to pass user PL.

The best way to use Allstar is to install it as your repeater controller. If that’s not possible the next best option is to connect it to a port on your controller.

> Hello my name is Loren I'm needing some guidance on this node here. The problem I'm having is if node is not transmitting to the repeater it still IDs every 10 minutes because somebody else was actually transmitting on the repeater how do I set it up to where only if my node transmits to id then I'd ten minutes after basically set it up on tx side only not RX and tx side...
