One possible cause of that behavior would be if your station was ever
set up for use with a Motorola Spectra-TAC voting system. In such
systems the normal repeat audio path is through the voting comparator
and back to the station through the wire-line.
A station that is set up for Spectra-TAC and is also set up as a
repeater has a mode called "in-cabinet repeat". Basically what
happens is that when the receiver unsquelches, the controller expects
to receive a line key command from the voting comparator. If that
never comes - the station will eventually key up and repeat
"in-cabinet". That would exactly account for what you are seeing.
If your station does have Spectra-TAC enabled, it would be preferable
for you to load a conventional non Spectra-TAC codeplug, however you
could go to the "Edit Advanced Information" page three and try setting
the "S-Tac Clear Repeater Delay" parameter to zero.
You can tell if your station has Spectra-TAC enabled by going to the
F8 Station Model / Options screen in F4 Change / View.
