[Repeater-Builder] Icom FR3000 External Mod B

2009-07-07 Thread hotfire00
I'm setting up an Icom FR3000 and would like to use the External Mod B Input 
(pin 9 on the 25 pin connector) to inject audio from another receiver's 
discriminator into the transmit path after pre-emphasis so that it's not 
preemphasized twice. I can inject a signal onto Pin 10, which injects the 
signal before the preemphesis circuit, and it works just fine.  However, no 
matter what I put on pin 9 I seem to get an unmodulated carrier when PTT is 
activated. I've looked over the service manual in detail and can't figure out 
what I'm doing wrong. The jumpers on the board seem be placed correctly for the 
signal path I want. Has anyone used Pin 9? Any ideas what I might be doing 
wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Andy

available at CES website.
