in this example, how would you configure a a audio delay in simpleusb ?


Thanks

Brian,

 First of all Allstar is a heck of a good repeater controller so you could connect it directly to your repeater and not use the remote node connect. That is of course if you have internet access at the repeater. Doing it this way solves many problems..

Connecting a remote node to a repeater requires special accommodations.  Like you pointed out the node will see the repeater tail then key the repeater and on and on. The best way to do this especially if it is your repeater is to have the repeater OUPUT PL follow the repeater INPUT PL.  You decode on PL at the remote node and therefore you only see the key action of the people talking on the repeater. You also do not in most cases repeat the ID of the repeater. Users of the repeater would also not hear the ID or courtesy tone unless they had tone squelch turned off or if you had a second PL on the output that followed the repeater transmissions. You also can turn off the courtesy tone of Allstar if you wish (nounkeyct=0)  or completely turn off telemetry using duplex=0 in rpt.conf.

The other thing you want to consider is rxaudiodelay in simpleusb.conf to eliminate squelch tail on your node. 

I hope I am understanding your question correctly. Let me know if you need any further explanation.
