I don't know if my other post made it through or not since I sent it from my email but anyway.
I put the meter on the CAS line the purple wire from the MASTR II and I do get a change in voltage but it only goes to about .5 v instead of the 10v that the RC-1000 is looking for to key the repeater. Is the CAS voltage dependant on signal or is it either high or low? If it isn't dependant on signal then I need to figure out why I am not getting full voltage to that line. I guess that I could build a relay circuit to put 10v on the line if I can't get the voltage up. --- In [email protected], Ron Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Vern, > > One question.
