The connector you are looking for is on the IF-Audio-Squelch board. The connector is numbered with pin 1 below the notch and pin 5 opposite the notch. The signal you want is present on pin 1. It is also present on the interface connector for the module on pin 4. This is the signal level at the output of the second crystal filter and is very low until the signal is very strong.
The documentation for an IF-Audio-Squelch board is available on the Repeater-Builder.com site. Look for LBI 19D417707. --- On Wed, 5/13/09, w4sef <[email protected]> wrote: From: w4sef <[email protected]> Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Two questions To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, May 13, 2009, 3:15 PM OK Jim, THANK YOU for that info!
