And that is precisely why US BM sysadmins lengthened the hold-off timer to 5 minutes. The short hold-off is problematic imoVK3KYY wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 6:10 amI couple of guys complained to me about this today, as they mistakenly thought it was the OpenGD77 somehow not filtering on the new TG.W0RMT wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 1:30 amI agree that on a simplex hotspot, the thing to do is to disconnect the TG (using the BM API tool in pi-star, for example) before keying up the new TG. I suspect that with the short hold-off timer, busy TGs like 91 become re-active before they die out (after 15 minutes) if you're just listening to the new TG after initial key-up.
This is the great benefit of a duplex hotspot. You can use one TS for switching, and the other for monitoring.
And I keep having to explain, its Brandmeister that is continuing to send the traffic on the old TG, and its nothing to do with the OpenGD77 not filtering it out.
