[NHRC-user] Repeater tone encode

Hi all,

I had mentioned the problem with the repeater pulsing back on itself. After
checking the duplexers, I found the notching was off on the TX cans. Thanks
for the hint on the repeater getting back into itself. It has been re-tuned
and is working great now.

I have an issue that may not actually be an actual problem with the
controller, but am looking for what 'normal' is. I am connecting my repeater
consistently to an EchoLink hub that does not permit IDers over the link.
The repeater seemed to be working like I wanted it to by only encoding a PL
tone when there was an input carrier, and was not encoding a tone when the
IDer or special announcement was playing. However, now it seems to be
consistently encoding the tone on every transmitted signal, even when there
is no input signal.

I have an NHRC-3 and cannot seem to find a setting in the manual that allows
for toggling when the PL is encoded. I need it to encode when there is an
input signal, but not when there isn't one. This seems to be the only
solution to prevent the IDer from being transmitted over EchoLink. Is there
such a setting? If there isn't one, I'm not sure why the repeater was
working the way I wanted it to before and is not now.

I am using a TS-32 board.
