[App_rpt-users] CM119 USB interface

[Mike]

Brian,

I could be wrong and you may get a better answer but I believe if I 
understand right,

the rx sq level is for vox and you should/normally be using cos from a 
pin on your fob, parallel port or using ctcss trigger for the COS

(oh... I may be about to find out for sure again as I try to setup my hr 
remote again anew)
