The local club decided to drop the coin on a new repeater, so they bought a used Quantar station. I'm working on interfacing an RLC-MOT to it.
I have the wildcard tables set up properly to allow what I would assume is discriminator audio to be present on connector 14, pin 22 "RX Wideband Audio". It's unsquelched, raw audio that sounds like discriminator to me. I'm encountering the following issue: The RLC-MOT works properly. It hears the discriminator and generates squelched audio and COR as it's supposed to. HOWEVER Whenever a DTMF digit is pressed, the RLC-MOT behaves as if there is no carrier present. COR is lost, and the controller won't accept the DTMF since there is no COR present. Why is this happening? I've tried adjusting audio levels on the RLC-MOT, playing with resistors to drop the discriminator audio level, etc. No dice. Any help greatly appreciated. These guys want to get the new repeater on the air soon. Thanks, Chris
