We are currently working on a proper and elegant fix for the DTMF on<br>HF radio problem (its more complex then it appears). Dont worry. Dont<br>bother with patches, its in process to be fixed thoroughly in the next couple<br>of days.<br><br>> Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2008 16:48:32 -0400<br>> From: kb4fxc@inttek.net<br>> To: app_rpt@lists.illiana.net<br>> Subject: Re: [App_rpt] App-Rpt Patch<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Hi Dave,<br>> <br>> Yes, I have the ',y' suffix added--and, with the 'y' app_rpt doesn't try<br>> to interpret DTMF characters--so, a RB user couldn't send commands,<br>> etc....But, the problem I was seeing was that the chan_usbradio code was<br>> still listening for DTMF, even though it was being ignored upstream in<br>> app_rpt. And, on HF audio this caused very noticable sporadic choppiness<br>> for me....For a VHF/UHF RB this might never be noticed--since there is<br>> little static/noise.<br>> <br>> And, I agree that this project is fantastic! I'm thoroughly impressed with<br>> how well everthing works! All the app_rpt and chan_usbradio, etc.,<br>> developers are to be commended!<br>> <br>> >From a documentation standpoint, I've seen a lot worse. Direct access to <br>> gurus on this list is super....Since I've used asterisk and linux for <br>> years, that helps in my case, too.<br>> <br>> Now, I just have to get over having my feeling hurt....Last night I was<br>> talking to a net on 75M via my VX-7R HT using a CMP460A hand mic on the<br>> HT, linking thru my TKR-850 app_rpt repeater. They said the audio sounded<br>> BETTER from my VX-7R than it did with my (name withheld) base mic plugged<br>> straight into the HF radio!!!!
