Aaron, I listened to the .MP3 From my perspective, that just sounds like packet loss on the internet side. How much / what work have you done on that aspect? You mentioned changing network cards, but what about looking at the latency on your connection, MTU in the router, etc. etc. ?

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]

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

I will clear things up here. Our Internet is fine. This problem has been with us from both locations when we moved. We use Cable (Modem has been changed out twice) for our Internet. We have 1.5 Up and 10 MB Down. We have spent countless hours on the phone with our ISP to ensure we had the

What an ISP considers good and what is good for VOIP/Gateway may be two different things. ISPs often only look at transfer speed (are you getting an average of 80% or better of the advertised speed for up and down.) You also need to look at such things as jitter for VOIP. This all points to

My suggestion at this point would be look at the router. Similar problems with the guys in Temple occurred every time they connected to another gateway or a reflector. Finely the router bit the dust. With the bandwidth you are talking about this should NOT occur at all. So, look at the router or

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

Our Internet is fine. As others have said, you know ON THE AVERAGE it is superb, but you don't know about VOIP/UDP performance (jitter, etc.). What else are you running on the gateway computer that could steal CPU cycles and/or add ethernet traffic? (Several folks have wondered about this.)
