The first limiter is available on a GE Mastr II on the test socket, and can be used for signal strength after a signal is well above the noise. Lots of signals can be copied full quieting before the first limiter starts to show a reading.
On the P & S controller, you have to hook up to the CTCSS input on the GE exciter board to get the signal from the controller into the system. Look closely at the instructions from P & S to see what connections have to be added. Just plugging the controller in does not get the CTCSS signal to the exciter. 73 - Jim W5ZIT --- On Sat, 5/9/09, w4sef <[email protected]> wrote: From: w4sef <[email protected]> Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Two questions To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, May 9, 2009, 11:40 AM Hi all, I am new at the GE Mastr II game....Is there a point on the receiver board where I can tap off to get an S meter reading? I would like to be able to monitor the signal incoming. Also, be able to see if there is any rise in meter reading with no signal coming in to check for desense with the transmit on and off. I had a Micor and knew where to tap the second limiter for a meter reading on signals but can not find the right place on the Mastr II. Also, I am using the Pion Controller board. I love the controller but I can NOT get it to transmit the CTCSS tone. I have tried every setting I can think of using the computer to program it but no luck. It will DECODE fine but will NOT send the tone! Any ideas? Thanks Steve W4SEF
