[Repeater-Builder] GE Mastr II/IDA Controller - Selective COR?

2004-07-30 Thread derek_mcintyre
I am using a full blown GE Mastr II repeater station with an IDA 
control board (I suppose this is a factory installation).  It has a 
speaker on the front, with a volume control and a few selector 
switches, and jumpers on the board which select time out, hang time, 
etc.  I have a CW identifier interfaced as well.

I am not using any additional controller with this station and am 
having a strange problem.  Quite often, the repeater seems to drop 
users.  It's not a time-out timer problem.  Users will be talking.  
One will un-key, and the next one will pick it up, but the repeater 
will NOT repeat!  When he finally unkeys, the next user will pick it 
up and it will work just fine.  It's not one user in particular.  
There is no time frame associated with it.  It's like the unit has 
selective COS.  It drops whoever it wants to.

Is there anything that you can think of that would make this happen?  
I have changed hang times all over the place, even took the time out 
timer to 10 minute mode.  In the manual there is a master timer but 
I don't think this is a timing issue.  If I can't get this 
straightened out, I'll probably wind up having to put an external 
controller on the thing.  Any suggestions?

Thanks

Could it be a control tone issue?  Controller decoding a voice audio
component as a mute/disable command ??

Hereabouts, something about a certain YL's voice-pitch would trip the
autopatch DTMF mute -- she got some teasing about being able to yodel a
phone number...  ;-D)
