[Resolved - Speaker mic cable touching the antenna] PTT Latch Question
Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2020 11:51 pm
I've been using the PTT latch feature for a while with a speaker mic. I have a friend who also uses it in this config.
There was always what appeared to be an issue using this feature against my local repeater.. it doesn't latch up - instead it lets go pretty much straight away. So I turn latch off when working the repeater.
This didn't happen against the hotspot... it's worked well.
But since the latest stable there seems to be a random un-keying i.e. it keys up but lets go after a few seconds. (similar to how it behaves previously against a repeater).
So my questions are, what should I be expecting in the use of the PTT latch? Is there a subtlety or other config I should be aware of? I use timeout as described in the docs.
I've tried a longer key-up before I let go (various lengths of time) with no difference in the behaviour of letting go.
We both have different speaker mic hardware but the same behaviour
