[arm-allstar] Strange issues with ASL

[David McGough]

Rachid,

I'm doubting this is software related.

As a simple test, you could unplug the radio from the RIM and manually
pull the COS/CTCSS signals from low to hi and then back to low and watch
real-time telemetry state in the simpleusb-tune-menu software.  If you see
no signal change, it's likely a hardware problem with the RIM....You could
try a fresh firmware load as well, at that point, just to try to rule out
every possibility.
