[arm-allstar] Kenwood repeater issue

[Steve Agee]

*There is a lot of information missing here, such as how your node 
interfaces to your repeater. I'm going to guess the node and repeater 
are in 2 different locations, and that you are using an on-frequency 
node radio that talks to the repeater like a mobile would. This is the 
absolute worst way to interface a node to a repeater, but can still be 
done with modifications.

To meet the definition of "link compliant" the 0.4 second tail must be 
reduced to absolute zero. The best way to do this is to reconfigure the 
repeater such that the repeater TX only encodes CTCSS while the CTCSS 
condition of the RX is true. Most repeaters are not configurable in this 
manner just from software but some are. If not, then you must add a tone 
board and wire it in the manner described above. Then completely disable 
CTCSS in the repeater software so there is no conflict between it and 
the add-on tone board. Likewise, the node radio needs tone encode and 
decode enabled as well.

If this is not your configuration, then please give an in depth 
description of how you are interfacing your node to your Kenwood repeater.

I have the repeater ID un toned so I am not sure why the id is causing interference and we have a very short squelch tail set at 0.4 seconds.
