[arm-allstar] Pulse-Back & Building a Repeater

[Doug Crompton]

On my way to FD so I did not have a lot of time to analyze your problem but I will say that the best way to solve the problem of ID and tail coming through is to have the PL follow the INPUT of the remote receiver. This way it looks to you like only the person going into that link is keying. As soon as they drop the link will drop and you win't see any tail delay or ID's unless the ID happens during the transmission which can happen occasionally.

I don’t know if I should be sending this here or to arm-app_rpt.
 
Our repeater is temporarily using a remote base to talk up to our machine. 
We have Internet there but have not configured it yet. Our emote base is sending 
pulse-backs and I don’t know how to stop it. It is also sending our CWID from 
our MSF using its internal controller. I cannot turn it off without violating 
part 97. AFAIK the MSF doesn’t allow me to tell it to wait until the hang time 
drops to ID. I am using a RTCM on the remote base and I can turn off CWID on the 
repeater and let the RTCM send the CWID. But we’re back to pulse-backs. How do I 
deal with them?
 
Next, we want to drop our MSF’s and build repeaters for our three sites 
using Motorola CDM 750’s and their 20KHz channel spacing is more favorable to 
us. The MSF’s are 30KHz channel spacing with a 2MHz wide front-end. I can use a 
RTCM as the controller on each repeater. Or I’d rather use our external link 
controllers. We have RF links that come in as well. I know that this is a lot to 
ask but what is the best way to do this? I am assuming that the repeater goes on 
port 1. The RTCM will go on port 2 or I can build a BBB and use a USB FOB. Port 
3 would be for an external RF link that comes in. Our Allstar server is setup 
using .0320 and id bridged to another RoIP service. It also has Echolink but it 
is not active. Our link controller is fully addressable with a preamble that 
should allow me to avoid DTMF issues. I don’t know abut users in the repeater 
trying to control it or autopatch, which we have. Is this doable or have I 
misunderstood?
 
I am grateful to this group for getting me this far. I look forward to get 
Allmon setup, announcements, etc., although our link controller has 250 DVR 
tracks.
 
Thank you again in advance.
