[arm-allstar] Transmit PL on Simple USB

[john]

Well that was my original question... whether I could generate a tone while using simple USB. You say yes, that would be perfect. It's easy to turn off xmit PL on the Quantar and let it come from the URI.
  

  
To answer your other questions:   
  
I'm coordinated to this pair, and there are no other options as there are no other pairs left in my area.
  

  
My repeater is on a rack in my laundry room, and I have no plans to move to a remote location unless someone donates some space to me on a building or mountain top :). The birdie persists no matter where in my house I am, including a walk to next door.

If not, wouldn't the simplest solution be to reprogram the Quantar to a different TX/RX pair and just avoid the birdie? Another possible solution would be to program the Quantar to have a separate signal to enable TX PL tone. Then, you could use the TXCTCSS capability in simpleusb now. Using this mode, a separate TXCTCSS signal is generated and follows RXCOS, etc. 73, David KB4FXC On Fri, 19 Apr 2019, "John Griffith via ARM-allstar" wrote:  >  I just re-read my post and it sounded a little confusing, so I'll re-write. My repeater does send PL on transmit, and my HT that I use to talk on my repeater has receive PL working. My Quantar controller emits a very strong birdie on the transmit frequency, a signal that my RF squelch won't mute on my HT at any setting. Only PL squelch works. However, PL mute still takes 1.5 seconds, making me listen to annoying digital noise for that time every time my repeater unkeys. Thus I'd like to set my PL to drop 1.5 seconds before the carrier. Hope that makes it clearer, and PL from the Pi would make this easy. -----Original Message----- From: ARM-allstar On Behalf Of "John Griffith via ARM-allstar" Sent: Friday, April 19, 2019 9:01 AM To: 'ARM Allstar' Cc: john at qso.com Subject: Re: [arm-allstar] Transmit PL on Simple USB Thank you for your replies. My repeater controller emits a rather strong birdie on my transmit frequency. My HT finally mutes 1.5 seconds after PL drops, but  birdie is too strong to squelch at any setting. Dropping PL upon PTT release while setting repeater hang time to 1.5 seconds would be ideal. Generating the PL on the Pi and increasing the hang time on the Quantar was my plan.

It just goes in the audio chain. They work great!
