I looked at one of the PL decoder manuals and it says the input requirement is 45mv RMS minimum. I would start here and see if the input is in spec. The obvious place to look is the IF being out of alignment, but you changed that board. Did you check the 12VDC and 10VDC levels? Joe At

Most likely, your HT is part or all of the problem. The CTCSS is supposed to be injected after the limiter so this problem (called talk-off) does not happen. In some radios, the CTCSS is mixed with the mike audio prior to the limiter, and then, talk-off happens. Jeff At 01:24 PM 12/24/2004,

Ralph, The symptoms you describe are those of CTCSS distortion due to limiting of excessive deviation. If your authorized emission is 20K0F3E, the sum of voice and CTCSS deviations cannot exceed 5.0 kHz. The measurements you cited for your test bench HT reveal excessive deviation at 5.15 kHz.

The 'correct' maximum depends mostly on your neighbors when it comes to the ham band, but you should never run so much as to interfere with adjacent channels. If you are operating in a 15 kHz bandplan where the next adjacent channel above and below you is 15 kHz away, you should run not more than

All paging transmitters involved should have narrow bandpass cavities and circulators on their outputs. That's usually considered a must at any site. If the paging company isn't willing to spend the money for that, then they aren't to serious about staying in business. The good news is that

You will find less and less narrow band cavities on paging transmitters lately. As the paging industry slowly goes into their death spiral of loosing customers, they no longer need 2, 4 or more transmitters at each site to deal with the capacity of pagers out there. What some companies are

Except that the vast majority of VHF transmitters/networks weren't really capable of multi-freq on the fly as you describe. At least around here, anyway, they were virtually all Micor PURC stations. And most sites would not have allowed the transmitters to remain without cavites anyway. --
