Hi Skipp: My repeater is the converted Base. I had the logic line, I was thinking I had to make a circuit to switch between the CAS and CTCSS lines, I didn't think about the controller CTCSS circuit which was there all the time. That is why I like this list I can get pushed in the right direction. I have to find the sub tone detector board, which I have in my junk boxes. Is there a difference between the TX and RX boards? As I recall they look the same. I haven't been to the tower to try fitting them yet.

Hi Jim, After my last post, it came to me that some people are possibly using micor mobiles, which have a different pl function the way I did my last mobile. I also didn't ask if your amateur conversion used the original micor modules as some conversions remove most or all the back plane modules. The answer would be different depending on which conversion used. The micor sub tone detector lives on small daughter boards in the receiver section. I'm sure the valid tone decoded logic can be obtained on the back plane through/via the interconnect board (base repeater micor). This is the pl detect logic line you need to run to your controller. My mod takes the same line from the squelch gate module. The back plane mod can take it from the logic pin of the squelch gate module position. good luck cheers, skipp www.radiowrench.com/sonic > "Jim Cicirello" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks to Kevin, Jeff and Skipp for pointing me in the right > direction on hooking up the CTCSS on my MICOR so it would work CSQ > and CTCSS.
