[arm-allstar] cdm1250 and hamvoip question

[Mike Sullivan]

A little more info can be helpful. Are you running the node at max power or
at low power? What interface are you using? And as David asked, is it the
radio or the node you are power cycling? The CDM's and other mobiles are
not designed to transmit at max power for very long, they are usually 50%
or 33% duty cycle radios. It's possible the radio is freezing up to prevent
itself from being damaged, or it's shutting down due to overheating or high
SWR. If it's the node, I had an issue at one point where our RIM-Lite would
lose connection and periodically needed rebooted, which came down to a
faulty USB cable.

A little more information on your setup will be of more assistance.
