We had a similar problem here about 20 years ago on VE3RSO....a fully commercial set-up Mastr 11 repeater and as I recall it was a 555 timer that needed a .01 Mfd bypass installed on one of the leads....I'll try to dig thru my notes to see if it was documented. It's on one of the boards in the control shelf.

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.
