I have a TS-64 on my GE Mastr II UHF amateur repeater along with a Link RLC-1
controller. The RLC-1 requires active low to represent CTCSS. I have
installed JP7 on the TS-64 to make the RX MUTE (white) wire go low upon decode.
I get nothing. I have already tested the PL input on the RLC-1, functions as
normal. I placed a voltmeter across +10V and RX MUTE. When not decoding,
there is no voltage (normal). When decoding, the RX MUTE will only work
intermittently (I only get a +10V meter reading sometimes). The previous owner
of this repeater (and tone boards), had all of this hooked to a CAT-1000
controller, with the PL decode set active high (with a 2.2k pull up resistor
between +10V and RX MUTE, worked fine). I have tried to test the TS-64 set up
for active high (added pullup resistor). With the voltmeter across RX MUTE and
GROUND, I get 9.97V on no signal. When receiving a signal, the voltage rises
to 10.07V, whether the signal is generating
CTCSS or not. The black, orange (PTT), and violet (mic hang up) wires are all
grounded on the '64. I am thinking there may be a problem with the TS-64. Any
advise would be appreciated.
