Good All,

We have a node coming up in Lake Charles, La and we are having issues. So, I am asking for configurations suggestion. First off, the Allstar node is not going to be at the repeater site. It is at a remote site.

It is running on GM300 with URI interface. The repeater has a long squelch tail of about 2 second. I have tried to run with USB radio in half duplex mode but the node ends up ping ponging with the repeater in half duplex mode .

Is it better to use simpleusb or USBradio for this type of setup?? Should the repeater squelch be reduced or turned off all together.

Please offer a copy of either USBradio or simpleusb configuratio file pretty please.

Any help would be appreciated.

Angelo,
edit rpt.conf to change the hangtime of the repeater.

Also, find the [wait_times] stanza, also in rpt.conf and shorten them up, considerably.

Let me know if that doesn't get you pointed in the right direction and we'll go from there.
