[Repeater-Builder] CTCSS Encoder/Decoder

2010-05-06 Thread James
Hi Guys, We have been experimenting with building CTCSS Units using the 567 Tone Chip and good components, i.e. Caps, multi turn pots etc. The stability is not good in my opinion. We will set it to 107.2 and the next time you check it is off enough to where it won't decode until it is re-tuned

Many many years ago when I was finishing college electronics, my final year project was a repeater controller. The danged thing worked really well, I used 567s for the DTMF decoding, but they really drifted around with temperature. Took about an hour to stabilize, and then still needed to

Anyone got any FX-805J or MX-805J in the PDIP package? I built a 1000 Hz decoder once based on the 567, it would swing between 950-1070 depending on the mood it was in. The ATV guys use these to create a video squelch, looks at the frequency of the horizontal sync which is 15,374 Hz. Work fairly
