Skip, Interesting you bring up that idea.....
I've had success with an initial CTCSS induced audio delay, ramped back to zero, using the PT2399 controlled by a DS1803. I use it in the MP100 controllers on a multi hop link system. Talking from one end of the system to the other result is no lost first syllable and, after a few seconds of uninterrupted audio, no audio delay.

An analog delay could be ramped back to zero in operation to reduce the delay after each new tx. But alas no repeater mfgr is making cheap analog delays anymore... or for the most part even expensive analog delays. I've asked a few of them... cheers, skipp > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > One could take care of that with a 1 second ADM on the user > radio's mic audio.
