<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I just moved my simplex node to a DR1X repeater and have started to reconfigure much of my node.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Since I was using an older radio for the simplex operation I didn’t pay much attention to the audio quality.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">However now as a repeater system under full allstar control I am quite unhappy with the audio.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Some things I don’t understand:</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">The differences and impact of the rx and tx parameters</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">between</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">the simple</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">usb.conf and the simple_tune_usb.conf don’t seem to be apparent.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I toggled the preemphasis parameter in simpleusb.conf but it didn’t seem to matter much.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">We added the amp power to the URI and at least that increased the level</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">s enough to make the system usable but it also seemed to increase the background noise level going to the TX while keyed even with no audio.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Is there a way to add some sort of eq?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">What parameters would increase the input so that output could be dialed back</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I’m including as input items for increase not only OTA audio but tones and local audio and of course allstar audio from external connections.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I am running the DR1X with squelch open and the node is ignoring ctcss and carrier detect. Can the allstar control get</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> either of these signals from the DR1X when allstar is the controller?</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">At the moment I’ve got quite a squelch tail!</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I realize that I could go to the DR1X control mode or add some sort of other external controller but I really wanted to have allstar be the only controller in the mix.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Any help would be appreciated.</FONT></SPAN></P>
