So I have a node that I can connect to another node on the same box. This is a hardwired connection so I have telemdefault=0 set on it. I was testing time outs and found what appears to be an issue, but then again, maybe not if I set the time out value on node A to something really short. say 5 seconds. When I have node A connected to Node B (the hardwired node), if I transmit on node A for more than 5 seconds, I get the timeout message and then the transmitter shuts off.. HOWEVER, the linked node keeps transmitting and follows the PTT of the transmitter that caused the timeout. Now what I'm about to go test is that I'll be that the above is by design and what will time out the node B is when it's totimer expires.. Did I find an issue or is it working as designed and the 2 TO timers are totally independent of one another (as they should be), but also connected to the originating cause - meaning the tx that is held keydown for longer than node A's timer but still holds node B in a PTT state?
