[arm-allstar] Kenwood repeater issue

[Les Keegan]

The Kenwood KPG-91 D software allows for me to disable the PL on ID. Which I have done. I will adjust the tail to 0 when I go back  up to the repeater site hopefully this week. I have changed it in the software I just need to download it into the repeater. I have 1 or two users that do not use the output tone and therefore when transmitting they sometimes have the id'er come through their transmission. I have asked them to put tone on their output but they like to hear squelch I guess.  I will have to have a conversation with them again. Yes the node is at my QTH and the repeater is at a local hospital about 4 miles away. Thanks for the information.

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.
