I put these 3 lines in my rpt.conf file expecting to have a tail message on unkey every 60 seconds or more. tailmessagetime=60000 tailsquashedtime=70000 tailmessagelist=tailmessage So if someone makes a 2 minute transmission, then I expect a tail message when they unkey. If someone makes a 10 second transmission than I would not expect a tail message unless 60 seconds have passed since the last tail message. Unfortunately what I get is not what I expect. When the repeater has not been used for a long time.... the first person to key down gets the tail message right on top of the beginning of their transmission. The repeater can be in use with various people each making random length transmissions from 10 seconds to 2 minutes long and there is never a tail message after the first one that tromps on top of the first person talking. I remember using tailmessage long ago back when I was using the USB fob and I think it worked fine back then. Now I am using only RTCM's and I can not get the tailmessage feature to work properly. Has anyone else been successfully using tail messages with RTCM's or USB fobs?
