Actually credit goes to Jeff DePolo for pointing out the parameter. John was just part of the discussion. Thanks everyone for the contribution and I will test this over the weekend and report back, but I think Ken has already done the dirty work. 73 Lu KA4EPS Deerfield Beach, FL Node 27869 From: app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Ken Sent: Friday, July 15, 2011 7:28 AM To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Chicken Burst tweak - conclusion Let me correct something I said in a previous posting. You *can* start to get a noise burst if you make hang time too short, but the amount of time between turning off the tone and dropping the carrier is determined by a fixed parameter called TOC_NOTONE_TIME in xpmr.h (pointed out by John Boteler). After changing this you need to recompile the apps that use it. Follow the instructions at http://ohnosec.org/drupal/node/29 All the nodes on that computer will have that new timing, of course.

Isn't that what we are trying to do? Ken
