A while back, there was some discussion on voters. I have read through all
of that. I am looking to install one here. I am planning on bringing my rx
sites back on RF and having the rx radios at the voter site interface to a
status tone (2175 Hz) circuit and then feed the voter. My question
Jamey,
If you did read through that thread, why would you still be using status
tone to indicate a COR signal?

I have a problem that is got me swamped.
I converted a Hamtronics 2m amp into a 220 amp. Just followed the
schematic and changed all the caps and redid the coils.
Problem is that for 2 watts in I get 2 to 3 watts out. For a simple
1 transistor circuit it don't make sense.
Even changed
Considering replacing our UHF Hamtronics rx and tx with the Kenwood
TKR850. Two questions (at this point): Can the output be turned down
to 7-10 watts in the software; and should I be concerned about a
sensitivity rating of .35uv compared to a measured .18uv on the
Hamtronics? This is for
That way I don't have to do any major mods to the voter. I prefer to run it
the way it was intended.

You can build a tone generator from a 555,lots of circuits around.

You could probably use the tone encoder assembly out of a used
Motorola Controller.
Before I try sorting out if I have one / convert something else
to do that, see what others on here say.

Optimum spacing center to center should be 0.85 to 0.95 wavelength.
Sometimes a phasing harness won't allow you to get that far, so you do the
best you can.

I have used the 2175 hz status tone encoder module with Maxtrac receivers.
Works great...
Also have converted the SpectraTac comparator to work with 24/7 links with
status tone and also using some with cor, without using the 2175 generator at
the receive end. I can provide you with details

You pose a crucial question: Which is better, sensitivity or
selectivity? The Kenwood TKR repeaters are at the low end of
commercial-quality equipment.
I invested in a Hamtronics UHF repeater, thinking it would be a way to
obtain a high-quality repeater on a limited budget. Boy, was
Why would you think Kenwood is at the low end?
Whole states have found that they (Kenwood Systems)work better and longer
then the so called big boys. The big boys use to make a good repeater in

First off yes, you can adjust the level to any drive power you want to drive

The GE voter and M's voter both have COR input lines. The status tone is
used when you have a continuous audio path between the voter and the voter
Rx; Ex: Telephone lines/ Microwave Mux. When you use a keyed up link you
normally would use the COR line to indicate status.

Status tone does set the agc in the sqm. Very impotant when using phone lines with varying losses. When using rf links with fixed levels a simple mod makes the agc constant. Works great when using the cor mod.

Steve I think you have more than a problem
with Kenwoodit's either your dealer or the way the situation was
handled. I was a Kenwood dealer for over 20 years (retired last year), and
Kenwood was always responsive to our needs. I've had LEMONS from
every manufacturer including Kenwood
I have a bunch of the GE tone generator panels available if anyone needs
any, most were used with various GE MASTR receivers. They're 19
rack-mount, about 1 high, they were used with a GE Voter so I belive
they're currently setup for a 1950 Hz status tone.

That is probably due to a long time Fort Worth based weather man legend,
