Interesting, I'm an AVR assembler guy. :) I guess you could call me daring. Offhand, what's the ADC spec? Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Audio limiting on incoming signals
I my self own 26 Maggiore repeaters that are on the air every day and I nor my users have any problems. They just work on and on! But they are the newer ones' not the old build for Clegg or Midlands.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Audio limiting on incoming signals
I don't have any problems with Maggiore equipment ... but then again, I don't own any either. All I have here is Motorola, GE, RCA and a couple of others.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Audio limiting on incoming signals
Actually, the biggest problem I have with users' deviation on my system is not enough of it; none of my users deviate more than 5 kHz. I have one user that likes to stay several inches away from the mic & talk softly, yielding about 1 kHz deviation on average. For those users I've been contemplating just the opposite: a circuit that closes the squelch on inadequately-deviated users. This should be easier to implement since the noise from noisy stations will be detected as adequate deviation & keep COS valid. COS would only be interrupted if insufficient audio was detected on the discriminator for several seconds. Essentially this would be nothing more than VOX ANDed with COS. Bob NO6B Yahoo!

Sounds like your TX audio input is underdriven & your deviation control is set too high. Turn up the audio output from your controller until everyone's peaks are at the same level (will "sound' distorted & overdriven on your output TX). Then turn the deviation control in the TX down so that the deviation is 5 kHz peak. Once this is done, turn down your controller's TX audio out until it "sounds" good to you. This will end up being anywhere from 1:1 deviation in/out ratio to maybe a bit more to compensate for slightly underdeviated users. Bob NO6B Yahoo!

Could it be that the audio isn't flat, and at low or high frequencies, you have more deviation than the tone you use to set your levels? Yahoo!

Nope, I'm reading the peaks on my service monitor. I have a soft spoken voice for the most part, almost have to yell to get to 4 Khz, and most general users hits around 4 to 4.5, but the few tops out over 6 sometimes 6.5 Khz.

Matt, is the 6kc a measured figure? Maybe it just seems like 6kc because they modulate your system with a higher AVERAGE deviation. Therefore they will sound louder, but with the same peak deviation of 4.5kc. What is your repeater transmitter? Laryn K8TVZ Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
