[Repeater-Builder] TKR-720 Programming - Bit Pattern in EEPROM

Hi Guys, Can't find a KPT-50 programmer within easy reach, so figured I'd re-program the EEPROMs 'manually'. Does anybody know what the bit patterns inside the 1k eeproms are? (both the freq one, and the PL)? Figured I'd give it a shot. Thanks, Tim W5FN

[Repeater-Builder] Ctcss dropout due to loud voice

Hi guys .Can anyone suggest ways to reduce ctcss dropout when someone is talking loud on a repeater .The repeater radios are maxon pm150 (sm4450sc) and I have tuned them using 600hz of ctcss and a 1khz tone at 3khz modulation to make sure it doesn't happen ,but I have one user that talks louder

I have to wonder how you can know this is a signal passing out of the passband as opposed to talkdown (what the OP was asking about). Both would sound virtually identical. While I agree deviation should be checked, I wouldn't go so far as to rule out either cause based on the description. Joe

I think you will find that shouting into the mic will talk off the CTCSS. The last new radio I tested had 5.8-5.9 KHz dev fresh out of the box. My standard test is to yell a FOUR into the mic with my lips just a 1/4 inch off the mic grille. And it's instinctive for the people in a

Chris, Assuming this is for a ham repeater and not commercial. Have the user bring his radio to you and tune it so that he not over deviated. I had to do this to a club guy here in Colorado. Mike Mike Mullarkey K7PFJ 6886 Sage Ave Firestone, Co 80504 303-954-9695 Home

Ian, I suspect that the problem is talk off caused by overdeviation of the mike audio. When the CTCSS tone is mixed with the mike audio prior to the deviation limiter stage, an excessive voice signal will be hard limited along with the CTCSS tone, causing a distorted signal. This problem occurs
