Thank you everyone for all their input. I did try Nate's idea of removing the "KE5KAF S" from the Gateway Registration. I thought this might be the problem until late this evening.. Yup... my repeater did the funky chicken again! As for Internet problems. I have my MTU set according to the

Nate, your always full of good ideas. I really hope this is the problem. I removed the "S" of the system. Lets see now if that was the problem all along. I am not sure where I found that, I think it was in the admin group. So I did as it had said. I am rebooting everything and will cro

No the KE5KAF is the main callsign for the repeater. I do not use that call when using Dstar. I am aware of the problems that would occur. Thanks anyways...

Aaron, You do appear to be using a 'user callsign - KE5KAF' for the 'repeater callsign - KE5KAF C' (http://www.jfindu.net/dstarlh.aspx?rptr=KE5KAF) and this is contrary to recommended practice for gateway operation. You could run this past the trust server admins ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), but it is po

I understand how the error correction works. The audio problems are ONLY happening with the use of the Gateway not locally. I remark that it sounds like the system is bottlenecking! I have had many conversations where the audio has gone garbled and then fixed itself. If you listen to the aud

Aaron: While we are all learning, I disagree from the posts that you have a packet loss problem. The W6YYY system has been having measurable packet loss problems (from zero to 40%) in bursts - the effect of ISP packet loss on dstar audio is not the garble you are hearing, but missed words, syllab

The audio sample clearly reveals that something is wrong. Significant information below is that the problem occurs only with remote traffic, not with local traffic which generally outrules local RF equipment failure. I would look more closely the internet connection. Sounds like there is substa

What I am hearing is R2D2 meaning to me that you have BANDWIDTH problems. What is your TRUE bandwidth, Aaron? Otherwise the audio sounds perfect. It is just dropping bits and can not error correct as too many bits are being dropped. Dennis, N5VRP -- Regards, Dennis, N5VRP [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ds

Hello Anyone... This is Aaron in Laredo, Texas. I have the original (First version) of the Dstar module (C-VHF) and controller. The firmware on the Controller was updated by ICOM remotely at one point. We are having poor audio when connected to any gateway station or reflector. It comes an
