I ran across a problem on a M3 and various talkies. For the most part tone was a bit low and voice was really over deviated. It was easy to hit 6 or 7 kKz. of transmitter deviation. The problem was talk down of the repeater. The real problem was the low end audio response of the portable

Thanks, guys, for all the ideas. I really don't like the idea of ripping into a virginal Quantar because some users' radios aren't transmitting enough PL tone. As for the VX6's they are not running in the narrow band mode, at least on the ones that have been checked. Although we

I doubt you would get far with Motorola since the problem is that Yaesu is not using good engineering practice by not filtering the TX audio to remove CTCSS components. I would start with Yaesu asking them why not. Joe M. Nate Duehr wrote: On Sep 26, 2007, at 7:09 AM, Al Wolfe wrote:
