Yes, exactly.. Some radios just do not respond to the reverse burst option and the current length of the chicken burst.

Yeasu and Icom no... Chicken burst best option... Even better is tie pl to incoming signal detect where local or network triggers pl encode and drops when they do... Smart chicken burst!

As for the reverse burst method, it works great with radios that support is like Motorola portables. The problem is that the VX5-R does not support reverse burst. The repeater is a Motorola repeater, so I pulled the TX PL reed out and got excited about the chicken burst option on the APP_RPT.. But it still gives me squelch burst.. Like I said, I just need another 100 MS (200 to be safe) to make this work.. Is this a parameter that cannot be tweaked? If not, I can always build an external piece of hardware to add the additional delay on the PTT. I just thought it might be easier to do this in software. Or I can simply wait for a future APP_RPT release that might have this variable defined to help those with radios that need a little bit more time in the CTCSS timeout sequence. 73 Lu, KA4EPS From: app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Bryan D.

The current amount is not enough for my VX 5R.. I need another 200 MS to be effective. Thanks.. Lu KA4EPS Have you gone through and set your timeouts and such in rpt.conf? Additionally...are you transmitting PL tones? If you are, and you're not depending on the radio hardware (ie you're doing all the audio processing in Asterisk, and doing direct FM injection), you can try using reversing the phase of the pl before carrier drop to quiet the end user receiver before dropping RF carrier. Old technique to quiet the receiver before dropping carrier. Getting all of these to work correctly is a balancing act between what the radio can do, and how that coincides with how Asterisk views the world. Just some thoughts. 73 Bryan WB0YLE Allstar 27294 27295 27673 27710 27774...:) -- Bryan In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.
