So your explanation makes sense. Dick AC7EL Oh, someone else mentioned splatter... The test for that should show this too (put it on a scope) NOTE that rapid switching of the transmitter on and off may well cause excessive bandwith transmission as well so it should be worked on if that is the problem (The equivalent of key clicks) -- Nothing adds Excitement like something that is none of your business. |

Otherwise, I've learned one thing after many years in Ham Radio: Most people will not give a critical report, regardless of how bad a signal sounds! Fred K4DII One of the things that almost always makes me smile is when I'm listening to a repeater and some ham says "Your are full scale on the S-meter here" Uh.. Sir.. You are reading not the ham you are talking to (Whom you can not even hear) you are reading the REPEATER He is talking to.... And of course it is full scale. Would be nice to have a repeater that gave a courtesy beep that went something like this ..--- (not a very good signal) or ----. (Very good signal) -- Nothing adds Excitement like something that is none of your business. |

(Very good signal) I made a repeater controller years ago where the courtesy beep was a DTMF tone indicating signal strength. Of course, you needed a touch-tone decoder to know what it meant, but it was very useful for testing. Pat |

The hang time is zero, literally. A while ago, I asked the tech committee why there was no hang time, and they said that to save money they did not add a controller board. In that case, he might have has his "reverse" switch on by accident. Bill, W1AC |
