I know this is a shot in the dark and I am probably the only one trying this, but is there by chance anyone that has successfully interfaced a URI to a Kenwood NEXEDGE® Repeater NXR-710/810?

My challenge is this.

1. Can’t seem to find a way to feed in pre-emphasize TX audio.. Not a show stopper, but sure would be nice if I could. I can always run regular mode.. Tried the TX data input but got no audio

2. When using external PTT, it mutes the TX audio for some reason. Seems as when the repeater is receiving audio, and the URI bring PTT low on the External PTT, it mutes the audio completely. You hear no repeat audio.

I am using in rpt.conf,  Duplex =1.. If I do Duplex =0, then I get the internal repeat audio, but it does not take advantage of the Allstar processed audio such as audio delay and DTMF muting.

There has to be a better way and has hoping someone has already succeeded in this challenge. I can email you the programming file to the repeater if you wish.

Thanks in advance.
