[arm-allstar] Kerchunk - OS Sound

[James Hatmaker]

Doug,

Thank you for the reply.  I currently am running with CTCSS (or tone
enc/dec depending on the radio) 100.0Hz.  When I was running on an desktop
I did not have this, and only appeared when I switch to a raspberry Pi3.
In trying to troubleshoot, I have switched the radio which is currently a
Yaesu VX3.  I have switch the frequency/band between 2m/70cm and the
problem still persists.  I am using an ARS AllStar Adapter (which is the
same from the initial Asterisk setup).
I have tried moving the Pi between wired/wireless (currently running
wireless).  I have added a ferrite snap-on on the cable going from the
radio to the USB dongle just to see if that would help.  During my testing
I had tried  setting the rxondelay=25.
as a last resort I powered off the radio completely and ran the same test.

running rpt stats
then dmesg
then rpt stats again.
(with the radio off)
and the Kerchunks today increased by 1.

I know this isnt the image you just released, so I might just rebuild the
pi.  I am sure I must have inadvertently did something to the pi.


Thanks!

James
