Re: MSR2000 Modules wanted
I see where Juan replied with good news to your post.
Maybe you can pick up the Modules you need from him...
You don't have to have and use an original MSR-2000
Squelch Gate Module, but it's better if you do. Some
Repeater Controllers can take Discriminator Audio
direct from the Receiver and make their own internal
COS/COR Signal.
Or... you can tap the separate R1-Audio Module squelch
circuit, which is pretty darn good unto itself as a
COR/COS logic source.
Once again it's well worth mentioning the best option is
to use the original Squelch Gate Module with the corresponding
R1-Audio Module properly set up and aligned. The resultant
Dual Squelch Circuits action works very well and presents
itself as similar to the now famous Micor Squelch Gate Chip
operation.
The standard duplex (repeater) CTCSS (PL) Module does
allow separate encode and decode. If you have a base
station PL Module, it's probably half duplex. Yes you
can convert a half duplex PL Module into a Repeater
Version using the major parts from a Mitrek Mobile
CTCSS board.
Or you wire a Tone Panel to the back plane and it will
generate COR/COS to/for an external controller. Depending
on what brand & model the eternal Tone Panel can supply
COS/COR Logic in both CTCSS and/or Carrier Squelch ops.
But in most cases it will decode a valid CTCSS so you'll
get a COS/COR signal from the Panel (Tx Line/Output) with
a sub tone (CTCSS) present.
Please use the Time Out Timer Module if you have one. Even
if you don't like the thought of one... you can set it to
10 minutes and pretty much forget about it until something
bad happens and you pat yourself on the back for using it.
cheers,
