I too had this issue with a Wouxun at a repeater site and was scratching my head, until WB5UGT happened to look down at the deviation meter on my service monitor and told me to look for myself. Sure enough, upon pressing a DTMF key, the deviation meter shot to the far right and hit the pin on the 6 KHz scale. So, the first few milliseconds of DTMF blow out of the pass band, before calming down and stabilizing. Several other hand helds worked fine with no issues.

wouxuns are kind of notorious for poor DTMF encoding, levels, etc. for the price, kind of to be expected. YGWYPF.
i'm thinking the motos were set up to put cor, etc out in hardware. your changes told asterisk to ignore the hardware signals. put them back the way they were working before you fiddled with them, and i'm thinking you'll be fine, cheap chinese HTs notwithstanding.

We recently installed AllStar on an old PC. 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:
carrierfrom = usbinvert ctcssfrom = no
When I change to:
ctcssfrom = dsp
we can neither TX or RX.
Is there another setting that might help in the usbrdio.conf or any other config file? Can anyone help? It is a young ARC and most members use a Wouxon HT.
Thanks in advance,
George
