Thanks Gary. I have not been using Deluxe but maybe that is the trick versus the Basic trial version. I also expect CPU cache is involved here somewhere. I do have the COM port FIFO turned OFF. -mike/w5jr --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Gary n6...@... wrote: Yes. I'm running it

Thanks Tom. I've previously looked at the setup screen accessible during boot. I do believe that cache is turned ON but on my particular computer have not discovered a way to turn it off in setup. I also did not find a gear shift for speed. I'll keep looking or find a utility to handle it.

I think that your experience is the exception. I know that the analog service here in Connecticut has been shut off. That means that an analog phone cannot even find a setup channel (that's what gives you an IN SERVICE indication). Without setting up on the system you cannot originate a

There are devices that provide an RJ-11 jack to interface POTS phones with cell phones. This would permit you to just plug your autopatch into the device. A web search will find these. They range from high end multi-line devices to those in the $100 to $200 price range. This is a link that

I have an older Sprint Unit-designed to be used to replace house wired service, it has an antenna, you plug it into 110vac and then it has an RJ-11 on it which provides dial-tone and ringing to the rest of the wired phones in the house-but it can also be used stand-alone. The one I have has been

I have a quantar repeater tied to a cat 300. Everything works fine and you can use analog with the cat control or p25 with the moto controller. The question is, is there a simple way to turn off p25 if needed remotely? A repeat inhibit line somewhere? I have full control of the analog side
