For reveiw I have been helping a young ARC install an AllStar system (a couple of states away form my location). Since it is not feasible for everyone to buy a new HT, we have decided to change out the radio to an Alinco DR-135 which I own and works with Wouxun HTs on my AllStar site.</div><div><br></div><br><div><div>On Mar 9, 2013, at 1:15 PM, Kirk Just Kirk <<a href="mailto:wb6egr@gmail.com">wb6egr@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">The $50 radios tend to suffer from "Twist" when sending touchtones.

wouxuns are kind of notorious for poor DTMF encoding, levels, etc. for the price, kind of to be expected.

At present we have a 10 year old Motorola 2M Radius radio connected to the AllStar PC via a custom cable and URI. The radio was tuned by a professional with tuning equipment according to the AllStar instructions. We can RX well and can TX voice well on all radios. Now the problem. Some radios (Yaesu & Icon) can send any DTMF number combination and works flawlessly. However some other radios like the Wouxun can send any number but the number "3" key successfully. For instance *81 gives us the time successfully but 3 used in any string doesn't work. I have modified only two usbradio.conf settings:<br>
