[arm-allstar] CW ID not transmitting a 10 minute intervals

[David McGough]

Hi Jerry,

How are you obtaining COS signaling with this USB adapter?  I looked at 
the webpage, and this adapter doesn't seem to have a "wired" COS signal 
coming from the radio--perhaps it has some sort of VOX hardware?

does not work, keyed *70 (current node status) works, keyed *76 (drop all 
connection)works. Scheduling *76 works but scheduling ID's at timed 
intervalsdoes not work.

slightly between words when I breathe.  Yes, I also believe it is a COS 
problem.

turn it down when it goes out to Allstar (BBB). The ARS URI has built  
in transmit and receive audio controls (pots, 
seehttp://www.arsrepeaters.com/USB_AllStar_Adapters.php).  The vendor 
provides a very good set up guide.  He recommends just a few changes to 
your settings (duplex =0 is one) The 'crank up, etc.' above was in 
response to my request for help. I briefly tried to make these 
adjustments. My audio was a bitover driven. I will try it again if that 
is the only solution to keeping the COS open.

intervals without the transmission breaks? Ithink I've turned everything 
pertinent in the RPT file on or off at least once,but maybe I've missed 
the magic combination.  Note: I'm new to allthis.  Linux, Asterisk and 
electronics are not my 2nd, 3rdand 4th languages, but I'm having fun 
hacking awayanyway. If everything worked the first time I would not have 
learned anything so no complaints.
