It's the radios. There are many reports of poor DTMF transmission on most of the chinese radios. Brett KQ9N On Thu, May 8, 2014 at 11:00 PM, Mark Johnston <markjohnston73@gmail.com> wrote:
No idea how it got fixed other then multiple reboots later - no PL being heard now that is great! two other issues I have with the voter modules (RTCM) can those devices or can the allstar/asterisk do CTCSS on rx, I see it can do it on TX but I want it to be my tone decoder - Just seems odd if they cannot since it would for a USB device why not here?
Two, for some reason one radio I have Wouxun the DTMF digits do not work except the 9 when watching the asterisk -r .... except sometimes if I hold each digit for 2-3 seconds then it does. Is there a setting I can adjust? As far as I can tell by the config and listening to my signal levels sound about right/proper deviation etc. The Baofang works 100% of the time with the briefest of key presses even if I tweak the rx a bit. When I monitor the output from the wouxun through the node the tones sound distorted - from the baofang they sound clean. Maybe it's the radio?
Thanks,

Hello everyone,
Trying to setup 2 RTCM's for voting - starting off with 1 for the master timing source - no Radio. and one currently at the same site for testing purposes, both have GPS configured & working.
The radio is a GE Mastr II base - I located a point where the CTCSS decoder gets the discriminator audio and removed the board for CTCSS decode. Plugged in the audio to the RTCM there.
I do hear the audio, but am having multiple issues, first audio sounds OK locally (repeat) but the biggest issue there is the PL is loud and plfilter = y in the voter.conf appears to do nothing for that.
Second issue I am not seeing a way to decode PL either in the RTCM or in asterisk from a voter. I know with usbradio/simplusb it has the option but from what I know those are not going to do anything here?
also during the RTCM setup the SQ adjustment appears to calibrate go from flashing to solid on the LD3 indicator. but when adjusting the SQ pot 10 , 50 , or 150 turns does nothing to extinguish the LD3 as it should, unless I am misunderstanding the directions - does not make sense. Anyone know if there is something I could be missing?
below are the rpt.conf (partial) and voter.conf files
