Sounds like to me that the usbradio.conf file is not configured
correctly. <br>
<br>
In your case you need to configure the node to use carrier squelch
on receive and no ctcss. <br>
You also need to set the cor input to be "usbinvert" - active low
since its wired to the PTT on the controller.<br>
<br>
Hope this info helps you out.<br>

Allstar Node and RC210 Issues<br>

Have you adjusted the TX audio pot on the 210? Port 2 must
be simplex<br>
(non repeat) as Matt said.<br>

One was my wiring, everything is backwards. PTT on the arcom
goes to COR<br>
on URI, Audio out to audio in, etc. So i would check that..
Also if you<br>
haven't done any config on your allstar node, that might be<br>
