However, (I just like writing "however,") The PL-Disable switch is probably wired for local speaker audio. To force tx ctccs off would require additional work.
Don't know if the mentioned mod will allow you to toggle rx ctcss on/off as the mod I describe does. With the mentioned mod you also lost the msr dual function squelch operation so rx audio squelch crashes are probably always heard unless you use an external audio delay module with your controller. Why would you not want ctcss encode on your repeater tx signal? cheers, skipp > "Jim B." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > uhhh-yes-that is normal for all repeaters and base stations. > It is more frequently called 'monitor' however.
