[arm-allstar] Node dropping packets

[Doug Crompton]

Steve,

Sorry you are having problem and thanks for giving additional data. You
said you were remotely observing the simpleusb-tune-menu at the site is
that correct? If so when observing the V (view) option are you seeing COS
drop out (go from keyed to clear) during these hiccups?  If you are seeing
that then it is a receiver problem or possibly the FOB or maybe RF getting
into the FOB disrupting the COS. If the COS is being disrupted that would
certainly cause it to unkey.
