[Repeater-Builder] WTB: TS-32/64 or other PL decoders

2006-05-23 Thread Erik Finskas
Hello folks. I'm in need of at least five CTCSS decoders for a repeater project. Preference is TS-32 or -64 as I'm familiar with them but any other model proven to function well works too. Prefer to have all the same model. Contact me directly via email. .. Erik OH2LAK [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dave, Keep in mind that the Midland 13-509 was built for the Amateur Radio market, and the transmit crystals are only specified to maintain .001%, which is 10 PPM. There is no temperature compensation in the crystal circuit, and you may make the drift worse by using an NPO capacitor. If you
