That could indeed be the issue - I didn't think of the fact that the DSP could be monkeying with it.
With that said, the RLC-MOT could be removed from the system, but the next question would be this: How can I set the station up such that I have a PL detect AND a carrier squelch detect? We absolutely need the ability to switch between CSQ and PL modes. The controller we're using supports it... But I don't see how to program this thing to have separate outputs for COS and PL Detect. I'm very familiar with the Quantar station with regards to using in Public Safety, but there we use tone keying and voters/consoles, and things like this never really come into play. At least not yet.
