Kerchunk noise selection
In addition to the selectable hang timer, it is possible to add a burst of noise to the end of each
transmission, after the hang time has expired. When the transmitter is used in a repeater
configuration in digital repeat mode, it may be difficult for a mobile radio user to hear that he has
successfully “hit” the repeater, since P25 radios usually operate in a “silent squelch” mode. The
kerchunk noise is an audible indicator that the repeater was indeed keyed. Remove JU47 to enable
the kerchunk noise.

Note that the kerchunk noise is applied only when the radio is keyed by the ANALOG_COR* or
DIGITAL_COR* inputs, not from the front panel Mic connector or the PTT signal from the M-3
subrack. In addition, if the radio is keyed again before the hang time has expired, the kerchunk
noise will not be sent until the hang timer is set again by removal of the keying source.
