<div>Hello all - I've been running Voice Alert (set CTCSS to 100 hz - CT on the D700A display). Remember I've been having a problem getting digi'd and into a Igate?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Well, today I took the tone off (no tone) and darn if I don't get digi'd a LOT more often... with the time set to half minute, once or twice a minute I get a "my pos" on the display and 2 or 3 beeps (sometimes 4 beeps). I have the "beep" on the D700A to beep only on "mine". My understanding is each time it beeps, that tells me the radio has received a packet from a different digi?
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>After 30 minutes of good success, I turn CTCSS back on (100 hz) and the number of times I'm digi'd dropped a LOT. Only perhaps once each 2 or more minutes would I get digi'd now? I change the CT to DCS tone (not sure of the tone freq - I'm riding the motorcycle and can only do so much) and the number of digi's stay low. I turn the tone OFF again and the number of digi's increase to one or 2 each minute or so.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It really seemed to make a difference as to how often I was digi'd. Can that be possible? After all, there is a 100 hz tone sent along with the packet isn't there? Could it be possible that was somehow messing up the packet signal?
</div>

<div>Be gentle when calling me DUMB!!! After all, I am a newbie here {grinning}</div>
