Darn... Forgot to add that he is running a second node on the same
Raspberry Pi. Wondering if this may be slowing it down.<br>

I'll try to shed more light.<br>
<br>
The original setup was using a desktop configured with Zipar. Same
link radio for both configurations, so nothing there is different.
It worked fine with that setup. The only change was going to a
Raspberry Pi2.<br>
<br>
The repeater is on a hardware-based controller (no Internet
available). When a user brings it up, the repeater transmits PL
the entire time the user is there. When the user unkeys, the PL
stops encoding, but the repeater's hang timer keeps it
transmitting for the predetermined length. During the hang time
there is the courtesy tone and possibly ID (without tone).<br>
<br>
Using the Raspberry Pi, I can sometimes hear a brief burst of the
beginning of the repeater's courtesy tone. With the desktop
configuration that did not happen. Again, using the Raspberry Pi
it also sometimes "hangs" the AllStar side for a second or two. So
there's two things happening with this part of the issue.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>

To start with the drop outs. This is more than likely an
Internet problem and that would be the first place to start
looking. Not knowing anything more about his system like
what the Internet connection is, etc. It would be hard to
suggest anything.<br>
<br>
The other problem may or may not be related to a poor
connection. When the PL input to the repeater drops it
should immediately drop the COS signal. The first place to
check would be to make sure this is happening. If there is
some kind of delay in the repeater and COS is staying true
then it would have nothing to do with Allstar. When I say
"true" that could be a high or low depending on the
configuration. Put a meter on COS and key into the repeater
and see how it follows.<br>
<br>
Again not knowing his configuration it is hard to know what
is actually happening. Is another controller in the loop?
The best and simplest way to use Allstar as a repeater
controller is to do it exclusively. The input PL drives COS
and the PTT output drives TX PTT and TX PL. All the timing,
ID's etc. are done in Allstar.<br id="FontBreak">
