Hi Mick, In your case the best choice is probably based on your controller being able to take discriminator audio direct.
Most any controller designed to operate from discriminator audio would be the most practical option and you would be able to use the speaker audio for local at-site monitoring. We would "assume" the repeater controller using a discriminator input option would properly handle the audio, which includes any ctcss (sub tone) information on the received recovered signal. There are actually at least three audio source options for most receivers like the Hamtronics Units. You can use/tap the discriminator output, tap/use the high side of the volume pot (control), which has squelched and de-emph audio but sometimes no ctcss filtering and third ... the speaker output terminated onto a resistor. In many/most cases the reported speaker output distortion is not anything to get excited about... it can be/is often quite usable and in many/most cases un-noticed by most repeater system users. In a basic repeater system terminated speaker audio remains a very viable option. So you get three mints in one... cheers, s. > "mickupi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am running a Hamtronics receiver on our 53.090/52.090 repeater. > Should I use discriminator audio or squelched audio from the speaker. > Our Links RLC4 will use either one. > Mick >
