Hi Bryan.
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I adjusted hangtime and all
it does is extend the repeater hang time.
As for the reverse burst method,
it works great with radios that support is like Motorola portables.
The problem is that the VX5-R
does not support reverse burst. The repeater is a Motorola repeater, so I
pulled the TX PL reed out and got excited about the chicken burst option on the
APP_RPT.. But it still gives me squelch burst.. Like I said, I just need another
100 MS (200 to be safe) to make this work..
Is this a parameter that cannot
be tweaked?
If not, I can always build an
external piece of hardware to add the additional delay on the PTT. I just
thought it might be easier to do this in software.
Or I can simply wait for a future
APP_RPT release that might have this variable defined to help those with radios
that need a little bit more time in the CTCSS timeout sequence.

Have
you gone through and set your timeouts and such in rpt.conf?
Additionally...are you transmitting PL tones? If you are, and you're not
depending on the radio hardware (ie you're doing all the audio processing in
Asterisk, and doing direct FM injection), you can try using reversing the phase
of the pl before carrier drop to quiet the end user receiver before dropping RF
carrier. Old technique to quiet the receiver before dropping carrier.
Getting all of these to work correctly is a balancing act between what the
radio can do, and how that coincides with how Asterisk views the world.
Just some thoughts.
