[Repeater-Builder] IDEA? Re: Micor PL encoder modification (TLN5731A)

2010-05-03 Thread N1BUG
My original plan was to let the transmitter PTT control the Micor encoder board as usual, but supply a valid user signal present logic input to abruptly stop the tone when there is no user signal present... thus allowing the controller to keep the transmitter keyed for IDs without PL tone.

Thanks Jeff! Having someone to kick this around with is helping. Very good point about the ratty user signal. I hadn't thought of that. You are exactly right. I need to make sure the controller is set up to always keep the transmitter up for a short time after loss of user signal on the

Thanks Don. Yep, I was over-thinking the problem! Links are new to me. Somehow I was forgetting I have control over keeping the link transmitter up after I drop the PL tone, so I can eliminate squelch crashes at the receive end of the link that way. All I need to do is ground that trusty pin

Paul, Here is my two cents worth. I am not sure what you are using for your other equipment in your system, but we use Micor repeaters and have a combination of Motorola Maxtrac, GE MVS, and Johnson Challenger link radios. We always enable PL encode and decode with reverse burst on the
