Hi Steve and all; I have setup node 2424 with app_rpt acting as the controller (so direct interface between the fob and the rptr); a couple of observations / questions: 1. I can't seem to change the frequency (pitch) or speed of the CW ident. I have the following in the morse stanza in rpt.conf: [morse] speed=30 ; Approximate speed in WPM frequency=500 ; Morse Telemetry Frequency amplitude=4096 ; Morse Telemetry Amplitude ; idfrequency=500 idfrequency=500 ; Morse ID Frequency idamplitude=1024 ; Morse ID Amplitude Is this a known issue or am I missing something? 2. Courtesy tones: (a) When a remote link finishes transmitting, there is no courtesy tone. I believe the following line specifies the c'tone for the remote: remotetx=|t(1633,0,50,3000)(0,0,80,0)(1209,0,50,3000) Do we need to specify / enable the remotetx somewhere? (b) Is the time delay between the drop of a carrier and the beginning of the c'tone (when using the repeater in local mode) variable? - the delay seems to be quite long. 3. PL tone: In usbradio.conf I have the following: txtoctype=notone ; notone - encode CTCSS and stop sending tone before unkeying TX Is the time between the end of PL and drop of carrier variable (to avoid squelch crashes on non-commercial aka amateur radios!) Thanks! Ramesh.
Hey Ramesh, Its payback time! I can now help you with the courtesy tone issue! You need the following in your rpt.conf linkunkeyct=ct8 ; telemetry output when a link un-keys I use this on 2259 and sends a piptone when the remote link unkeys the local Tx. Next, the delay between the CT and any other telemetry is set in this part of the rpt.conf file, I have included that part of my rpt.conf: [wait-times] telemwait=2000 ; Time to wait before sending most telemetry idwait=500 ; Time to wait before starting ID unkeywait=2000 ; Time to wait after unkey before sending CT's and link telemetry calltermwait=2000 ; Time to wait before announcing "call terminated" This is located immediately under the morse section you mention. Hope this helps and I'm happy if it does! Cheers, Matt Currently A71/G4RKY in Qatar 2009/4/11 Ramesh Dhami (VA3UV) <Ramesh@va3uv.com>
Hi Steve and all;

1. I can't seem to change the frequency (pitch) or speed of the CW ident. I have the following in the morse stanza in rpt.conf:

speed=30 ; Approximate speed in WPM frequency=500 ; Morse Telemetry Frequency amplitude=4096 ; Morse Telemetry Amplitude ; idfrequency=500 idfrequency=500 ; Morse ID Frequency idamplitude=1024 ; Morse ID Amplitude
Is this a known issue or am I missing something?
