New observation. If I use a tone generator that is online, and use that to key the radio, the repeater opens. If I have to tone generator level loud enough, I can hear and compare the tone from the radio. It appears that the tone from the radio is lower in frequency. So I am wondering if by chance there is an adjustment I can make or if I have to send it away for this adjustment.
My setup that made the work temporarily is...
PC to Signalink USB Sound Card
Signalink to 857D
Set tone generator to 107.2Hz
Keying the tone generator keys the radio
Unkey and the repeater opens and I get the usual voice and cw info. I made sure that no one was using the repeater first. I found this by accident when playing with the tone generator I forgot to turn off the Signalink.
So now it is looking like a CTCSS frequency issues. Using the HT on the input I can hear CTCSS tone from the radio, weak, but I hear it.
Again, thanks for everyone's help
