This was originally pdeveau2010's thread on here. The ? originally was "Why doesn't Delay Retune work"? I do realize that is a Trunker *Plugin" question ... but I don't want to post the same content to multiple threads.
You would think that the reason for having "Delay Retune" would be to help with the exact problem that I'm seeing. and the I think pdeveau2010 was seeing. For some reason the frequency that a particular TARGET (GROUP) in Unitracker is ON times out before the conversation is finished. (I don't know if for pdeveau2010 he has too many things same priority or lower? But I do NOT.)
I've been trying to find out how the exact CONTROL channel decode happens ...
Is there a timeout? In other words ...
1.) GROUP MEMBER begins transmit
2.) Frequency is assigned for GROUP
3.) Timer loop begins
4.) Timer loop runs out and expires Frequency for GROUP
5.) Else ... Member stops transmitting and expires Frequency for GROUP.
For some reason this phenomena is happening ... and it's not my control channel signal level. And I'm not crazy.
How does the CONTROL protocol do it? Is it decoded that the frequency is actually expired? Because it sure appears from listening to the voice ... that the actual intended USER is hearing the whole transmission. Because they never say 10-9? What did you say? you got cut off!!!! (Although that does happen from time to time when two USERs collide and transmit on top of each other.)
The frequency gets dropped in the middle of a longer transmission ... it never gets picked back up because there is no NEW CALL until they finish transmitting. The replies after come through ok because a new CALL occurs which assigns a new frequency for the group.
