Since this is a half duplex radio, make sure you have duplex=1 in rpt.conf  and in usbradio.conf you have duplex = 0.

If usbradio has duplex = 1 then it thinks you have a full duplex radio.
You need to tell usbradio it is half duplex.


By default app-Rpt defaults to full duplex settings in both usbradio and in rpt conf.
Actually when duplex = X is not stated in then it is automatically in full duplex mode in rpt conf.

Interface is modified CM108 USB device.

The problem I have, is when unconnected to any node. When connected, all is good - When station TXing on the link drops their TX, courtesy pip. All good.

The Issue is obviously something local, as whenever a signal is RXed locally, the box responds with a courtesy pip and a CWID and then drops carrier. But then proceeds to key up numerous times (anywhere between 6 & 14 at the last count), each key up giving a pip and then dropping carrier. If I go into rpt.conf and set unlinkedct=0, it will still key up multiple times - but no tone.

If I set duplex=0, the problem goes away (but I get no courtesy tones - but I still get "function complete" etc ok).

Something is looping somewhere.... it's just a case of trying to find it!

rpt.conf is pasted below!

Cheers,

James
