I have been working on a single channel remote base as well recently. I am just using a maxtrac that is on a vhf repeater channel as a user. I may have my configuration wrong because one of the problems I am having is the remote base will not go into transmit until the receive signal on the link radio drops. I have always understood a remote base to transmit when needed even it was receiving something. I guess what I am trying to say is I shouldn't need to wait for the link radio's receiver to drop before I start transmitting on another node. Another thing I notice is, it will transmit the connection announcement out the link radio when I connected to it from another node. I don't think it should be doing this... Can someone give me a hint as to what I can look at to see if I have something wrong. I would put my configuration in this email but I don't have access to it right now. I have wanted to send this email for about a week now and figured I had better ask now before I forget again. Corey N3FE
