Hi Alan, I had this problem before and found removing the channel's you have programed, from the scan list in the programming software, stopped cos pulsing every 10 seconds.
  Hope this helps, Rick M0TLC

Hi Group

I have a problem creating a node using the BF888s HT and wondered if any of you guys have experienced the same issue.

Firstly I have created a large number of allstar nodes over the last few years using the modified usb sound fobs and the BF888s HT, and generally I do not have any issues.

However on odd occasions some purchased ?BF888s momentarily goes into RX, basically the green RX led flip flops on and off, this then causes the node to go into TX which causes issues on the network.

I know its not the interface causing these issues as the radio does this straight out of the box.

I have also tried changing frequencies on the HT to no avail.

So to recap its just the odd HT that I buy that does this.

The other question is has anyone else experimented with different HT's other than the BF888s and the UV82.

Any ideas guys

thanks Alan

Alan,

    You did not mention if you have the 888 in PL mode? You must use PL (or
DCS) on any radio connected to Allstar as noise bursts can cause even a
heavily squelched radio to occasionally assert COS.

If this is not the case and you do have PL on in the 888 make sure it is
working by keying into it with another radio with its transmit PL turned on
and off. It should only open when PL is on and COS should only assert when
PL is on. I think on the Baofeng the LED will light with signal regardless
of whether PL is turned on or off. You need to get PL on the Baofeng from
pin 1 of the IC not from the LED. With Baofeng PL on you should only hear
yourself from its speaker when you are transmitting PL.
