In the MMDVMHost under General there is a setting called timeout and it is set to 300 which when you look at the live log it displays as 300 seconds. What times out at 5 hours and what does it cause?

I think you'll find that its 5 minutes, not 5hrs :)

A quick google search for "mmdvmhost timeout" reveals the following amongst other info..... 'Timeout=180 # Transmitter timeout in seconds. Default is: 120s'

It's the timeout for how long the hotspot remains in transmit mode in any one transmission. Often set to the same timeout period as your radio or local repeater.
