Dear Quantar expert,
We have this annoying problem where the receiver squelch opens up on
the Quantars and is retransmitted. It can happen to each repeater individually,
or both can fire up at the same time. Generally, only white noise can be heard.
At times, the system can lock up and only way to regain the airwaves is to
power the repeaters down, then repower after about 30 seconds.
The interesting thing is that both repeaters have ctcss enabled, so in theory,
the receivers should not open the gate without the correct tones. I have slowly
increased the squelch threshold, which is now sitting at around 20%. This has
had some success in that the receiver can open with the white noise up on the
Quantar, but the threshold is no reached to open the gate and fire up the
transmitter I can continue to experiment with the squelch gate threshold by
setting it to to higher levels, but I do not want to continue and impeede on
the radio range performance.
Thanks
Holben
