Reverse Burst CTCSS/DCS


 

I'm one of these people--I'm sure you know at least ten--who don't like squelch crashes and who think reverse-burst on CTCSS or DCS is the way to eliminate them. Therefore, imagine my surprise when, even though both my VHF and UHF Shari's are set to produce one, none of my radios act like there is one. I've been told by many people that it's my radios' fault, that they just don't process reverse burst properly. This is demonstrably not correct. I can use one radio to talk to the other, and when I un-key, the receiving radio snaps off immediately totally without a tail. I listen to folk walking around with radios in my apartment building, and when they un-key, same thing--the audio just goes away without a hint of a squelch tail. So then, what is happening on the Shari transmision that causes every one of my radios--two Tytera 380' (one MD, one UV-MD), a scanner, a Kenwood TM-D700, and a pair of Bao Feng 888's--to ignore the reverse-burst and give me a loud obnoxious crash when my Shari's un-key, yet they all behave correctly when talking to each other?

I have the reverse burst turned on and I use a MD-380, a Baoefeng UV-5B and a Baoefeng BF-F8+.? I don’t get a squelch tail on any of them.? You might to run the shari-pixx-prog again and make sure the reverse burst was actually turned on.? Also might want to check that the receive ctscss was programmed into your radios as well. If they’re carrier squelched that can cause a squelch crash too.?

I'm going to state the obvious, and it may sound snarky, but it's not meant to be. If the Shari is set to send a DCS tone and the radios respond, then I turn the Shari DCS off and the radios don't break squelch, then I obviously have the radios programmed correctly. Both my radios are set to DCS value 411 (411N on the Shari). When my node is off the air, I can use one radio to talk to the other, and it's totally tailless. I can never remember whether the value for reverse-burst ON is 0 or 1, but I *can* tell you that either setting produces the same result--a loud crashy tail. Also, I think I can reasonably assume that the setting for reverse burst on the Shari is enabled when the time the carrier stays on after the courtesy tone is longer. Sure wish I could figure this out, because I *know* it's supposed to work correctly.

True enough,and so it is.


I found something in the MD-380 CPS that might have been the culprit--the "Admit criteria" was set to "Always," so I changed it to "Correct CTCSS/DCS" but it made no difference.


I take it "QT reverse" should be 180? I assume that's degrees, as in 180° out of phase?


I can't think of anything else to change, except maybe quelch from normal to tight.

In Hamvoip SimpleUSB, what's TXAudioDelay set to?

Or, are you talking about something else?


My Kenwood doesn't go chk at the end of transmissions when I have CTCSS on both transmit and receive.

I have no such parameter. However, I do have these:


L) Change CTCSSFROM Mode (currently "no")
M) Change RXONDELAY value (currently "0")
N) Change RXAUDIODELAY value (currently "5")

FWIW: I set my SHARI up just with CTCSS. I haven't tried DCS. No crashing with my MD380. All I changed from a default new channel was frequency, power, CTCSS encode/decode frequency, and squelch to tight. I'll try DCS later to see what happens. The SHARI has tone burst tone on.

No matter what I change, reverse burst does *NOT* close the squelch and I get a crash. My UV-MD380 behaves the same way. However, they talk to each other and back and forth to Bao Feng and Kenwood radios just fine. The Shari nodes work great on the BF's and Kenwood radios, too. There's something fundamentally wrong about how I've set up the MD and UV-MD radios. Squelch tight or normal, CTCSS or DCS, even if I change the degree value for the reverse burst from 180 to 120 (or whatever the alternate value is), still no change. I fully understand that this is all so trivial and probably pedantic, too, but if some can get it to work, that means there's something I'm not understanding, and that's what I want to correct--my understanding of how this all works, which I thought I had down.

The cause is the Decoders in these radios don't respond well to Reverse Burst as they do not sense the phase reversal as written in the standard.

Some ham rigs suck at it too.

Chicken Tail, the method of turning the tone off for about 500ms works on MOST radios.

No worries, brevity is good. Does the Shari support that turn-off instead of reverse burst method? I also thought I found something like that in the MD380 codeplug.
