<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I use and RTCM in conventional mode at my repeater to be the interface for it and Allstar. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">If I don't remember to keep the PTT held for about a second after I finish talking,</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">as soon as I release the PTT, I get about 1 second (it's actually a smidge shorter than that) of the last few things I said on the air.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I'm pretty sure this *repeat* is because of the approx 1 second delay that the RTCM instills in the system. It's about 400ms of startup delay, and about the same of system delays, so the live release of the PTT sees app</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">rox 800ms of delayed audio.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">If I remember to keep the PTT pressed for approx 1 second when I finish talking I don't see this. I'm using a commercial radio, so maybe I'll need to see about a programmed setting to do that for me automagically</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Just wondering if others are seeing it as well or if I just have a fast switcher.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
