If you are using incoming PL for the users to key the repeater then it should follow their transmitted signal. If you are looking at the output of the repeater and the repeater is setup to transmit PL then PL will be present whenever the repeater is keyed. You can't use the repeater output detected PL for Allstar. If you are at the repeater you can pickup the PL at the correct point. If you are using a remote link to the repeater then you will have to either modify the repeater so that its output PL follows the input or go to a two PL system where there is one output PL for the repeater and another follows the input. The second method allows repeater users to hear repeater ID's and courtesy tones and both methods stop those from going out over Allstar.

Re: [App_rpt-users] Advise for setup
Hi Keith,
 
 Yes the repeater is using PL but the PL does not drop with the COS/COR. It stays running the whole time including the squelch tail. This maybe on of the issues.

If you are using PL on the repeater, they maybe some options for you.  If you are not using PL, then you will have to look at options where a shorter squelch tail is used.

We run similar setups here at some of sites – taking advantage of PL to give the desired results.

We are using USBradio.

Good All,

We have a node coming up in Lake Charles, La and we are having issues. So, I am asking for configurations suggestion.  First off, the Allstar node is not going to be at the repeater site. It is at a remote site.

It is running on GM300 with URI interface. The repeater has a long squelch tail of about 2 second. I have tried to run with USB radio in half duplex mode  but the node ends up ping ponging with the repeater in half duplex mode .

Is it better to use simpleusb or USBradio for this type of setup?? Should the repeater squelch be reduced or turned off all together.

Please offer a copy of either USBradio or simpleusb configuratio file pretty please.

 
Any help would be appreciated.
