Hello All,
I would NEVER use crimp for any thing to do with duplex. Like a repeater,
They will work OK (crimp) for test cables and the crimp connector is easier
to install but you can not beat a good solder on clamp connector!

I dissagree...crimp on connnectors (of course you solder the center pin) are
probably the best and most replicable connections made. We did a lot of
government/military work over the years and it was required to use crimp
type connectors on flexible cables. They determined that it was easier
I agree and so does TX/RX Systems, makers of some really nice duplexers and
other good stuff. Their research showed that a properly applied crimp
connector was superior in every aspect.

I have to agree, back in the days of Quintron they spent a lot of money

I need to decode a single frequency (1050 hz) and output a logic level
+ or - doesn't matter. I know this sounds really simple but I guess I'm
stupid today.
I've tried an ne567 PLL and can't even get it to work. (could be bad

Just pick up an older NOAA alert receiver for a few bucks. They have a
1050 Hz tone decoder circuit built in. It's probably cheaper than making
a decoder yourself.

As for the crimp or clamp style connector. If you look at many combining system you will notice that 95% of them use the CLAMP style connector. There must be a reason that MOST of the engineers for the companies prefer CLAMP over CRIMP. hmmm there must be a reason. I know that out of all the

There is probably no easier and cheaper way to do it
than a 567 chip. This will give you a logic low, or
pull to ground when it decodes. If you are having a
hard time making it work, double check your circuit
layout, make sure the device is good, etc. The 567 is
easy to align and fun to play
