> 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.) > This problem does NOT occur when we are using the repeater for local > traffic, this ONLY occurs when using the Gateway. So it's not very likely an RF, band module or controller problem. Plus it's intermittent, so you are looking for some condition not always present. KE5KAF spends a lot of time linked to reflectors. You can experience strange results when area or callsign routing to a UR if you and the UR target are also linked to the same reflector: you will have two voice streams going to the same place intermingling (interferring) with each other. This usually just causes drop-outs, but not always, and this would not be an issue with local QSO's, and it would be intermittent. 73 -- John
