[Repeater-Builder] M7716 supplier needed
Hello everyone! I am in the process of building a repeater system for the National Boy Scout Radio Station in Dallas, and the audio board calls for a M7716 Micor squelch chip. Since our organization works off of donations mainly, I have to work with what I have. I haven't been able to find it anywhere these days, and was wondering if anyone had one (two ideally, one for a backup), that they would be willing to part with, or, perhaps someone that has an old stock of them? Any help is appreciated. 73, Eric

Moto used two or three different numbers for the Micor squelch chip, all of which are interchangeable. You can salvage a chip off any audio-squelch board (but I wish you'd do the cannibalization to a mobile board as the base station and repeater boards are not as common). See http://www.repeater-builder.com/rbtip/micor-index.html http://www.repeater-builder.com/rbtip/micorsquelch.html And you can use a complete Micor audio-squelch board intact - just provide a source of 9.6v (but it will work just fine on anything from 9 to 10v, as long as it is stable and clean), discriminator audio, and a pair of 25K pots (I've used 50K pots, a much more common value, with no problems). I've seen complete tested boards for $5 on eBay. Note that the PL decoder plugs on to the audio-squelch board. Mike WA6ILQ At 03:48 PM 09/10/07, you wrote: Hello everyone!

Eric, I have two M6709 IC's I will send to you if you send your address to me. Please consider this a donation to your cause. 73 Allan Crites WA9ZZU Mike Morris WA6ILQ [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Moto used two or three different numbers for the Micor squelch chip, all of which are interchangeable.
