When you do "rpt showvars xxxx" does it show RPT_RXKEYED=0 or 1?
I've seen this if the levels/squelch setting not being right, lower noise being received signal, etc.
<-- Hi George and all:
Tried my COP2 (dtmf command) via the CLI and as Lu mentioned, that works fine, as soon as I hear RPT ENA, the PTT drops and life is good.
Then I disabled the repeater and tried the dtmf command from my HT - this is what I captured on CLI:

Notice how I tried to key-up a few times - and no joy. Further even the end, when I sent a *0; app_rpt tells me:
nowchan=00, waschan=00
So it believes that the ptt was actually off to start with.
So OK, now I will bump the squelch up a bit...
(Current setting was 450 with a signal level of 140) - the squelch is already kinda' high (I think?) - anyway, I bumped the squelch up to 500 - tried again and voila! - problem solved :)
As soon as I finished sending the dtmf and dropped ptt on my HT, I heard the courtesy tone come back and knew instantly that this was going to work!
So that's it - my dual mode DV and FM repeater is ready!!! ;P).
Thanks!!!

Squelch at 450 and signal 150? Yeah, that's REAL tight. But the 150 seems like the audio noise level into the CM108 is possibly too high. I've never seen it that high( backwards to what may be thought...lower signal level number = higher number, as rx quiets with signal that level number goes up) GeorgeC
