People cut out whie talking

OK, This is driving me nuts. I goto a node and listen. Folks are talking back and forth, but as they are talking, it’s like they unkey the mike for a couple of seconds and it comes back talking as normal. Is there a setting that has to be changed in timeout??? I have a pi3 connected to a UV-82 w/ARA-1 soundboard.
Anyone else run into this issue. Thanks

Does your transmit light come on when the audio drops out? I suspect the answer to that is yes based on what you said about Supermon. I still think your in full duplex mode somehow.

Yes the light does. In what files would you suggest I check. I checked the Pi setting in PUTTY and is set to 1/2 duplex and rpt.conf file it is set to 1. I’m game to try or look in any file. Thanks

  • Excellent audio quality and stability
  • Option for COS inversion via on-board jumpers
  • Heartbeat, PTT, and COS indicators.

Look at rpt.conf for any (and all) lines that say duplex=<some number>. Change to 1 ie duplex=1 if it’s not already. You can also try duplex=0.

I found 2 lines. The where set to 1, so I changed them to 0, see what happens. Thanks
