Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: MSF5000 Tone Issue, PL 131.8 opens cor, non 131.8 keys repeater but no audio
heh-maybe you've been down this path, but try unplugging the controller and see if the repeater can be brought up. If it does, you have an internal path somewhere. n9lv wrote: That is what I thought was wrong first of all, tried it both ways and no change either way.

Not sure if this has been this way all along, but I noticed there is another repeater somewhere close that has a different PL. When they are using there repeater, it will cerchunk my 442.000 repeater. My PL is 131.8, and that will open the squelch and allow audio out the repeater. Any other PL will not open the repeater, but will consistanly cerchunk the repeater and causes the courtesy tone to trip as well as the rest and wait id timers. Any ideas. Mathew _.

Mathew, Try programming it for tone only control (I believe that is option S in both Repeater Control and Receiver Control. Mode Information screen) - this way even if the station hears a carrier, it wont react to it. I'm planning on doing that with my station - right now it's set for SC Mark - N9WYS -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of n9lv That is what I thought was wrong first of all, tried it both ways and no change either way.

I believe that is only available in the digital series where programming is done via the rib. This one is the eprom analog setup. I am thinking there must be another control line going to the controller that I am missing.
