10-4, figured that out long time ago, but all the interest in using DSP in this and I thought it would work. It might on a different platform. I opened a Mantis ticket on it a few years ago. But it really is a reason to stick with PL decode and squelch as done by Motorola and GE, why re-invent the wheel? I have one remote “private” node using a HT10 and DSP. Works fine for what it is.

Ya don't get something for nothing; reading a hardware status bit or two is a lot less intensive at the expense of additional wiring and configuration statements in the config files than decoding the stream, deriving the signals, etc. any overhead in doing so is bound to have an effect on other streams going on at that time. and we humans don't process breaks in audio as we do with visual perceptions. -- Bryan Sent from my iPhone 5...small keyboard, big fingers...please forgive misspellings...

Did this in every case I tried, though the only platform I used was a D945 or D201 Intel board. Ran 1GB of RAM and CPU is whatever a D945 is.

Sometimes it happens on the time announcements, which are absolutely perfect 99% of the time. Sounds to me like a computer with too little RAM or too little CPU horsepower. When you run the top command, is it using swap memory? If so, that's bad...and you need more RAM.
