[arm-allstar] final adjustment questions

[Ron Wenig]

Hi Neil,

I am also using a Kenwood TM=V71A and would like to share my 
simpleusb.conf settings, simpleusb_tune_usb.conf and menu #520 on the 
TM-V71A with you.  The TM-V71A is a great radio.  I can have my Allstar 
running on band A and monitor other frequencies on band B. I've 
experimented with Menu #520 and it seems like this setting works the 
best so that you don't have to worry about noise breaking the squelch 
and keying up the node.
simpleusb.conf

[usb]
; Generic Default Settings
eeprom=0
hdwtype=0
rxboost=0
carrierfrom=usb
ctcssfrom=no
txmixa=voice
txmixb=no
invertptt=0
duplex=1
plfilter=yes
deemphasis=no
preemphasis=no
rxaudiodelay=0

simpleusb_tune_usb.conf

[usb]
; name=usb
; devicenum=1
devstr=1-1:1.0
rxmixerset=750
txmixaset=150
txmixbset=500

Kenwood TM-V71A Menu #520 - SQCSRC = SQL

73, Ron NY3J
