Interetsing The units I settled on were the Intel D945 that Limey was built to run on. I used a D201 originally, which does it as well. So what does it take for that to not happen? I went to use pp for cor and ptt in latesst one, on a D945, but it refuses to read the parallel port, so I let the software do squelch and ctcss. If the intel board has a bad USB system, who makes a supported board that doesn't? My idea was to keep the box small (M200 case) and run on 12V (PicoPSU supply) I got to where I just ignore it. I guess in the future I could try letting the repeater transmitter encode PL. That's really where you notice it when that is interrupted.

Ahhhh - the old blip-blip-blip ... why didn't you say so?
I used to hear that on my old dell server system - an immensely powerful computer (dual 3.6 MHz Xeon) with a really crappy USB system ... in fact I think one of the ports was USB1
In some old description of app rpt there is talk about a jitter buffer for the USB devices that you could adjust. I think that may have been replaced with some sort of elastic buffer that you cannot adjust (Jim will know).
You can imagine that, in some low end systems (or problematical USB ports), the output does not keep up with the input or vice versa and eventually a buffer overflows (or runs dry). At that point the program has to throw away some data or stop and let the buffer fill again .... of course, if people keep letting the carrier drop from time to time you may never run into this....
