Pulse Question
|
Teton Amateur Radio Repeater Association (TARRA)
Okay, I have a pulse back question. We run our club net on Monday
evenings at 8:00 on a reflector. Most of the time there is only
one other node that is connected for the net. After every
transmission the PTT drops and then comes right back up for a
fraction of a second. I checked my node for pulsing and it
reports back 150, which is what it was set at. I have tried to
duplicate this activity with my node and repeaters connected to
the reflector and can't make it happen. I may know the answer, but
if another node connected to the reflector is pulsing, is that
what I am going be seeing on my node? I know whenever there is
anything wrong they are always happy to blame my node. Just
wanting to make sure of things before I approach them with it. Mick - W7CAT --

Mick, you have run in to the classic pulseback. There is nothing you can do about it, you (actually the reflector) are the victim. Pulses are never detectable on the node that is causing them, except by using the pulsecheck command.

If you can attract the attention of the Reflector Admin, they have the tools to positively identify the problem. But there is a limit to the channels they can actually monitor. It is usually on one at best, and typically far less than one. -k9dc

Hello Dave, I listened to their net they run on a different reflector this
evening and didn't hear any of the pulseback. I guess I'll have to
wait until Monday evening again and listen for it and find out if
it is there again. I may be able to get someone to help me test it
in the next couple of days. Node 3464
