A good rig has a PL filter so you don't hear it, but know it comes thru on some rigs. Does sound annoying when it does.
Also need to remove from the repeater receiver for it might beat with the tx generated PL due to it being slightly different freq/phase. Most rigs will not pass low freq PL thru their audio input. This is why most rigs have seperate input for PL encode. 73, ron, n9ee/r >From: JOHN MACKEY <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: 2008/07/20 Sun PM 02:37:13 EDT >To: [email protected] >Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: PL Problem > >I set all my repeaters for 450 Hz to 550 hz and have never had a problem with >listeners being able to decode. > >so something in the range that David suggests below should be fine. > >I know some people who think PL level should be set at 750 hz to 900 hz.
