It has to transmit into and receive from the repeater just like you were using a radio to do that.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Courtesy tones definitely need to be turned off. Otherwise you will be ping-ponging with the repeater. You may also want to set duplex=0 for less telemetry going out over the repeater.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">This works but it is not the most ideal way for a remote site. In this scenario the repeater tail and the repeater ID will go out over the Allstar network. Ideally in this scenario you would want the repeaters output PL to follow the input PL. That is users on the repeater look to the node like they are coming directly to it. If you did it this way then the courtesy tone could be turned back on. The Allstar nodes COS would only respond to someone keying the repeater and not the repeater itself.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Typically people use these half duplex repeater connections to Allstar when there is no Internet available at the repeater site. Other alternatives although more complicated would be to use full duplex between the remote site and the repeater or use something like a Ubiquity microwave link to get Internet from some other site to the repeater.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Obviously the most ideal situation would be to have Allstar at the repeater site and have it actually controlling the repeater.<br><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br clear="all"></div><div><div class="m_5109948463555070938gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><b><font size="4">73 Doug<br></font></b></div><b><font size="4">WA3DSP<br></font></b></div><b><font size="4"><a href="http://www.crompton.com/hamradio" target="_blank">http://www.crompton.com/<wbr>hamradio</a><br></font></b></div></div></div>

I am attempting to setup a link to a remote repeater in the area and so far<br>
have had zero luck. The node is operating without issues as a simplex rf<br>
node. I change the freq. to the repeater pair and set tone. When I transmit<br>
from another linked node the audio is heard on the repeater and transmitted<br>
out via RF, BUT the audio coming back from the repeater never makes it into<br>
the network back here. So if someone keys the repeater up the nodes<br>
connected to the network never hear that traffic.I have enc/dec set to match<br>
the repeater, frequency is set correctly. What am I missing?<br>
