[App_rpt-users] Audio too much highs and not balanced when connecting to RTCM

[Tim Sawyer]

Here's a note I wrote on this subject a while back:

The RTCM is totally flexible regarding emphasis. Although the way it is set
is completely obscure. It tries to automatically do the right thing for
you, which is great most of the time. But when it’s not it's hard to know
what is going on.

On the TX side the RTCM expects the repeater to accept mic audio. In other
words, the repeater is providing the pre-empahais, not the RTCM. This can
overridden by setting CTCSS on in voter.conf in which case the RTCM will
provide pre-emphasis. If you don’t want TX CTCSS but do need pre-emphasis
set the level to 1 which is low enough that it won’t be there.

On the RX side the COR Type setting determine the emphasis. 0=Normal means
the RTCM squelch circuit is in use and expects discriminator audio,
therefore will provide de-emphasis. 1=IGNORE COR uses the CTCSS input for
COR (+CTSCC) and expects line audio, therefore will not provide
de-emphasis.
