Now you are learning how to properly work on motorola equipment....trial & error By fixing it the way you are, problem by problem, you will know the repeater in and out so it will be easier to work on in the future. Sounds like you are almost there if you only have an audio problem left. Hope you get it all working. Mike

I did find a couple of jumpers that needed to come out on the Station Control card, and I'm sure that helped. The machine still does not pass audio, so now that it is working in the way it is supposed to be configured, next thing to do is chase down the audio path. Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] On Behalf Of Joe Burkleo Mark, I think you have a good idea about starting fresh with an unaltered board. That would be my next move. It could not hurt to grab another set of cards also. These are old enough that I have found some bad caps and a bad transistor or two when going through my extra cards. What I will usually do is get a station working and then substitute boards and find out if they are good or bad. I have a box that the bad boards go into and then I fix them as time allows. You maybe fighting two or three different problems. You might also try a different audio/squelch board or two. I have had these cause goofy problems with cor/PL signals and repeat audio. This may not be your problem, but just gives you another place to look for missing signals. Joe - WA7JAW
