<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Buddy,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our VOIP group is dealing with some of the same
issues all of the sudden.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One thing we've noticed is quite a few DTMF false
decodes. As you know, app_rpt mutes the DTMF tones from going out over the VOIP
side, so DTMF falsing can sound like packet loss to remote
stations.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suggest watching the CLI during your
transmissions, and keep an eye out for falsing.. This may not be the entire
problem, but perhaps a part of it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I followed the directions from an earlier post (Jan
2012), with good results. No more false decodes AFAIK:</FONT></DIV>

size=3>Howdy,<BR><BR>Just wondering if anyone else is seeing the following.
Sounds like a bandwidth issue, but I really don't believe it is, if for no other
reason than nothing else seems affected, including a VOIP phone (believe me, I'd
hear about it if the VOIP phone was doing this). Besides, I should have up to
5MBPS upload speed, which in real terms is likely less, but not so much less as
to explain this.<BR><BR>If I'm connected to more than two Echolink stations, my
outbound audio, though not inbound audio, loses lots of data. Dropped syllables,
unintelligible audio (because of many many dropped syllables), words run
together, in other words, typical extreme packet loss. Not just a degradation of
audio quality. I don't know if the same occurs if I'm connected to several
Allstar nodes, although I'm game to test that if anyone feels like it.
<BR><BR>I'm certainly not opposed to the idea that it's a bandwidth problem, but
I'd find this hard to believe, simply because there's no problem with the VOIP
phone. That isn't running throughout the Asterisk box, BTW, completely separate.
Definitely a puzzler though.<BR>--<BR>Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA<BR>Phone:
