A reasonable and easy request. I went to great extremes (sarcasm intended) to make a 1 line change in chan_usbradio to accommodate this need. A new copy of chan_usbradio.c will be posted to the SVN later today once Steve gets home and does it. It will add the "rxctcssoverride" parameter to usbradio.conf, allowing the rx CTCSS to default to off. (you have to put "rxctcssoverride = yes" in the file. You then specify your CTCSS tones like you would normally (as if you were going to require them for access), but the receiver will not require any tone to actually receive.

Hello,
our repeater is in "carrier squelch"-mode. Since there is much traffic on our repeater we are used to use different subtones for different user groups just for the initial call to request a group member to continue the qso without subtone (so nobody else in the group will be disturbed). Unfortunately this seems to be impossible. We tried these configurations in usbradio.conf:
#1 (we tried "0" in rxctcssfreqs/txctcssfreqs in CTCSS dsp-mode) hdwtype=0 ;txctcssdefault=71.9 rxctcssfreqs=0,67.0,71.9,74.4,77.0,79.7,82.5,85.4,88.5,91.5,94.8,97.4,100.0, 103.5,107.2,110.9,114.8,118.8,123.0,127.3,131.8,136.5,141.3,146.2,151.4,156. 7,162.2,167.9,173.8,179.9,186.2,192.8,203.5,210.7,218.1,225.7,233.6,241.8,25 0.3 txctcssfreqs=0,67.0,71.9,74.4,77.0,79.7,82.5,85.4,88.5,91.5,94.8,97.4,100.0, 103.5,107.2,110.9,114.8,118.8,123.0,127.3,131.8,136.5,141.3,146.2,151.4,156. 7,162.2,167.9,173.8,179.9,186.2,192.8,203.5,210.7,218.1,225.7,233.6,241.8,25 0.3 carrierfrom=dsp ctcssfrom=dsp rxdemod=flat txprelim=yes
#2 (we tried to disable CTCSS) hdwtype=0 carrierfrom=dsp ctcssfrom=no rxdemod=flat txprelim=yes
Is there a way to pass CTCSS tones through the repeater in "carrier squelch"-mode ? I don't care whether it will be decoded/encoded by the software or just passed through the repeater (0-300 Hz passthrough). Currently passthrough of 0-300 Hz seems to be blocked by the software.
Thanks 73, Jann DG8NGN
