Hi Kim,
If the repeater has been inactive for a while, when it first transmits it
sends its I.D.? Since I don't want to be 'washed out' by the I.D., I kerchunk
the repeater.? Once the I.D. has finished, or the I.D. has not been sent, I
will then put out my call to see if anybody's on the air.
A friend has a VHF rptr implemented using a GE Mastr Exec II mobile.
The receiver is gone. Can I use a reciever form a straight MastrII
mobile to replace it? Are they plug compatible?
Thanks, Joe K1JC
No, a Mastr II receiver will not fit in an Exec II. While a lot of the
circuitry is similiar between the two, mechanically they're different.

We've successfully used the S-COM variant of this for years, here.

If you’re getting “washed out” by your repeater ID, you definitely bought the
wrong controller or have it programmed wrong. :-)
It shouldn’t be ID’ing as soon as it comes on the air, it should ID on the
UNKEY event after the kerchunk.
Some controllers are smart, some controllers are
