Laryn,
Once the repeater is up and there is no carrier present (i.e. after an ID, or after the user drops his carrier), the repeater will issue the reset beep, then there will be a brief burst of noise (we can never hear any audio/data on it, but it's really too short of a busrt to tell), the repeater senses loss of carrier again, issues the beep, and the cycle starts again. The reason I'm thinking intermod instead of desense is because it occurs very intermittantly and always during a LACK of user carrier. Of course, I could be very wrong and I'm certainly open to other schools of thought! -- de WM4B Mike --- In [email protected], "Laryn Lohman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], "Mike - WM4B" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sometimes it stops in 3 or 4 cycles, but I've heard it go on > > for an hour or more. > > > Mike, the comments above caught my eye.
