[TrunkCom] MTX-8000 Problems

[Matthew E. Engelbrecht]

Thank you to all who responded... :)

I got the radio to receive the 868.XXXX frequencies by changing the
bandwidth to the new value of 20 kHz in the RSS.  That allowed me to receive
the two new frequencies..cool.

I still have a problem with transmitting, though.  When I transmit, the
radio will go through the entire process correctly (call request, call grant
receipt, begin transmitting on repeater), but I somehow end up getting cut
off by the system within about a second of receiving the talk permit tone.
The radio is transmitting, but the audio is not being repeated.  Does this
have something to do with the bandwidth (which I understand to be 20 kHz
according to the band plan), or is there some transmitter alignment that I
have to do in the RSS to get it to work.

As it stands, 5 of the 7 channels on the system are using 25 kHz bandwidth,
while the new ones are using a 20 kHz bandwidth.

Any suggestions?

Matt
