I had this on a Mastr II and solved it by adding a resistor across the audio input to the exciter - I think I used a 100K, but you could experiment. It originally sounded like squelch noise leakage, but it wasn't. Chuck WB2EDV - Original Message - From: Tim - WD6AWP

Has the noise been there all along? It may be just the nature of the beast. There is an article on the RB web site about modifying a mobile audio squelch board to work in a base/repeater station, one of the benifits to doing so is the better muting of audio from the receiver, this is because
