Howdy First I'd like to start off by saying thanks for such a great piece of software for asterisk, I've been using Asterisk for 6 years now. I'm a network engineer so I'm not a repeater guru by any means, but I'm having a problem with my setup using the URI Model: DMK URI My first problem is; if ctcssfrom is set to anything but dsp, the repeater keys up as soon as asterisk is started. I can even disconnect everything but PTT and Ground and it still keys up as soon as its started. I did this to eliminate the possibility of the device sensing CTCSS via the mic_in_ac. So my understanding was that if I set ctcssfrom=no then it would ignore ctcss, but it still keys up. Is this a bug in the software being that it happens even with everything but ptt/gnd is disconnected? -- ______________________ Kris Kirkland ~ K5KRK ______________________
It most likely means that your COS is active or your using DSP for the squelch and it's too loose. -----Original Message----- From: app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Kris Kirkland Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2011 12:00 PM To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: [App_rpt-users] CTCSS Problem Howdy First I'd like to start off by saying thanks for such a great piece of software for asterisk, I've been using Asterisk for 6 years now.

I agree with the squelch mention. I had the opposite problem when going to DSP squelch versus USB COR, the rx didn't key at all. Try running "radio tune rxsquelch" to have it self-level. On 01/27/2011 01:20 PM, Scott Weis wrote:

Carrierdetect=1 or YES; carrierdetect=0 or NO. Its referring to the internal variable state. On 01/27/2011 01:49 PM, Kris Kirkland wrote:

So if I set ctcssfrom=no will it disable ctcss checking all together and repeat based on COR? If I can disable CTCSS then I can narrow my problem down a little further. -- ______________________ Kris Kirkland ~ K5KRK ______________________
I found that carrierfrom=usbinvert will sense the correct cor, but if I try turn ctcss off it starts keyed. After a couple restarts of asterisk the repeater will work once. These are the logs I have found. [Jan 27 21:21:16] WARNING[2225] chan_usbradio.c: Loaded parameters from usbradio_tune_usb.conf for device usb . [Jan 27 21:21:17] WARNING[2224] chan_usbradio.c: Possibly stuck USB read channel. [usb] [Jan 27 21:21:17] WARNING[2224] chan_usbradio.c: Nope, USB read channel [usb] wasn't stuck after all. Even when it works it will not send audio. Also when I try radio tune it will run through its tuning but not matter what tune command i run it always ends with adjust failed. Example radio tune rxnoise tune rxnoise maxtries=12, target=27000, tolerance=2750 tries=0, setting=2, meas=1 tries=1, setting=16, meas=1 tries=2, setting=16, meas=1 tries=3, setting=16, meas=1 tries=4, setting=16, meas=1 tries=5, setting=16, meas=1 tries=6, setting=16, meas=1 tries=7, setting=16, meas=1 tries=8, setting=16, meas=1 tries=9, setting=16, meas=1 tries=10, setting=16, meas=1 tries=11, setting=16, meas=1 DONE tries=12, setting=1000, meas=1, sqnoise=0 ERROR: RX INPUT ADJUST FAILED. Again I've disconnected everything buy cor/ptt/gnd and it will still starts keyed with ctcssfrom=no. -- Kris Kirkland ~ K5KRK Network Engineer
