Hey,

What radios are you using for the Tx?

I have noticed on occasion, I can hear the distant simulcasted site start to send audio underneath the carrier of the site that is closest (and strongest to me). The distant site is also the master site, and has the lowest latency, but I'm talking two words worth of audio is send before my other site starts sending audio. Once they are both transmitting, I  have not noticed any timing issues (i.e. distortion etc). I'm not sure if this issue was related to what I posted previously about the variable audio delay on unkey.
