[Repeater-Builder] Micor Repeater Question
Greetings Repeater Gurus! Hope everyone had a great weekend! I have a few questions for youhope its an easy answer. I have a friend running a 75W Micor UHF repeater and he needs to operate it for a single user who uses regular PL tone. My friend has a PL module installed on the Tone Squelch board in the receiver and that's working fine, but his unit, of course, doesn't transmit PL which he needs it to do. Does he need a single PL tone encoder card for the card cage? 146.2 Hz. is the tone he needs. After he installs such a card, would the repeater transmit the 146.2 PL tone, even if activated by the Tone Remote? Third question - Are there any other cards or PL modules out there besides the Card Cage type, or are they all strictly the ones that fit in the Unified Chassis?

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Micor Repeater Question
I have a friend running a 75W Micor UHF repeater and he needs to operate it for a single user who uses regular PL tone. My friend has a PL module installed on the Tone Squelch board in I presume you mean audio-squelch board. Does he need a single PL tone encoder card for the card cage? 146.2 Hz. is the tone he needs. The PL encoder plugs into the exciter, not the card cage. One jumper cut on the exciter board is required. After he installs such a card, would the repeater transmit the 146.2 PL tone, even if activated by the Tone Remote? Yes. Third question - Are there any other cards or PL modules out there besides the Card Cage type, or are they all strictly the ones that fit in the Unified Chassis? See above. Don't confuse a PL encoder board with an F1-PL card in the cage, totally different animal... --- Jeff WN3A
