[arm-allstar] Can someone listen to this?

What I’m saying is that I get them constantly. Every second my node is keying up and transmitting the click and beep….and I’m not connected to anything. 

     -- Hungup 'DAHDI/pseudo-1017137996'
     -- Hungup 'DAHDI/pseudo-1813806455'
     -- Hungup 'DAHDI/pseudo-339115842'
     -- Hungup 'DAHDI/pseudo-1401804253'
     -- Hungup 'DAHDI/pseudo-550276261'
     -- Hungup 'DAHDI/pseudo-253795532'
     -- Hungup 'DAHDI/pseudo-2051900826'
     -- Hungup 'DAHDI/pseudo-251788801'
     -- Hungup 'DAHDI/pseudo-1752626256'

Was just a few seconds. When someone hangs up, apparently anywhere on allstar, I’m getting a click and beep….. every second I’m getting it.

Mike,

 The click and beep are the courtesy tone! That is normal. It remonds you
to wait until after the tone to transmit. Same as on a repeater. The hungup
statement I agree is not very intuitive but it basically means a station
stopped transmitting. It is normal to see.

My hub is 27225 if you want to connect. Put a call out and someone should
answer.
