Hi All, I'm having a problem linking two mastr 2 radios together. I have one site and want to full time have my 2 meter and 440 machines linked together. Equipment : (2) Astron R-35 power supplies (one for each machine) (1) Duplexed GE mastr 2 mobile for 2 meter machine.

Mike, Using two separate power supplies might be part of the problem, especially if they are not on the same power phase. Many Astron power supplies have the negative terminal grounded to the chassis, which can allow AC hum to ride on the DC output. If the hum you hear is 120 Hz, that is

Paul, Eric Thanks for the response. I did some more testing with your suggestions. I tried hooking both radios up to a deep cycle battery. The hum is still there so I think that rules out the astrons! The audio from the main repeater to the link isn't as bad as from the link back to the main

Mike, If the repeater system was working fine, but suddenly got hum without any action on your part, I'd start looking for a failed bypass capacitor. Try turning off AC power to the facility at the main breaker while the repeater is on battery, and see if the hum goes away. Sometimes, an

Mike, Although I don't have an NHRC, I've encountered this problem once before with another system. Look at all of your capacitors, especially from power to ground, or from audio to ground We found that one of them was leaky, and when removed from the circuit, the hum went away. Just a
