[arm-allstar] Weard Windows 10

[Terry Bethlehem]

I'm no expert. But I did read your question in the middle of the night. I
thought I had read something somewhere that you should never cut power to
the rf side, before the node has shut down. It can cause a lockup on the
remote node. Windows 10, an operating system, does not create rfi. If you
use a cm108 fob, they are rf prone for rfi. Also, cheap hts aren't the idea
hardware to use. They are software defined radios that are easily
overloaded with rf on rx.

I'm guessing now. Maybe there was stray rf too close to the radios and or
fob. When using cheap Chinese radios as a repeater backbone, I'm seeing
more and more examples of getting the rx and tx antennas as far away from
the hardware as possible. I'm sure a smarter person could give better
advice, but you get what you pay for. Try getting the rx-tx antenna(s) as
far away from the radios as is practically possible. I've tested this. Rf
near these sdr hts, makes them really flip out.

We experienced a weird issue yesterday that I'm hoping someone could share
some light on. I was helping a friend set up Supermon on his node.I was
showing him the features. When I was showing him lsnode and had him login
on 27225 so he would be able to see the list of nodes.Thats when all hell
broke loose. I heard a delay on login into the node on his radio. I then
heard the dubble beep over and over. I knew something was going wrong. As
he was shutting down the windows computer and I was going to shutdown the
node radio and pi3, I saw a fluxurating signal on the operating radio as
well as a green light receive signal on the node radio, a 888. When windows
was off there were no signal on either radio other then Doug seeing the
problem was from us. Sorry Doug. My friend ran Linux on the same computer
and it gave us no problems. My question is. Does anyone know of Windows
emitting RFI on UHF that's capable of a 107.2 hz pl tone?
