All of the recent chat about voters and a recent trip to my site has
reminded me of a question regarding the LDG. Mine has been in service
for about 8 years now and just recently hearing the relay clicking has
got me wondering:
Has anyone had a relay failure in the LDG? If so, were you able to

Folks,
On the topic of voters. Any opinions on LDG vs. Doug Hall? Or I
suppose any surplus commercial stuff that's cheap and needs nothing
more than audio and COR to work?

I can't say if the Motorola SpectraTAC system is
cheap, but enough are floating around that you should
consider one. They only need an audio path. Idle
receivers send a 2175 Hz tone over the line (which
could be a radio link under the right conditions)
which tells the voter not to vote this
I have one of the new black voters woth the LEDS. As far as the torroids
go, I don't know for sure. I can check at the local electronics store here
(not Rat Shack) and see if they have them or can get them.

I look forward to the information. (as I'm sure many on the list do as
well). I would like to incorporate this into the 2 meter side of the

A while back, there was some discussion on voters. I have read through all
of that. I am looking to install one here. I am planning on bringing my rx
sites back on RF and having the rx radios at the voter site interface to a
status tone (2175 Hz) circuit and then feed the voter. My question
Jamey,
If you did read through that thread, why would you still be using status
tone to indicate a COR signal?

You could probably use the tone encoder assembly out of a used
Motorola Controller.
Before I try sorting out if I have one / convert something else
to do that, see what others on here say.

I have used the 2175 hz status tone encoder module with Maxtrac receivers.
Works great...
Also have converted the SpectraTac comparator to work with 24/7 links with
status tone and also using some with cor, without using the 2175 generator at
the receive end. I can provide you with details

Status tone does set the agc in the sqm. Very impotant when using phone lines with varying losses. When using rf links with fixed levels a simple mod makes the agc constant. Works great when using the cor mod.

With all the talk of voters I thought I might as well throw in my voter question. I was wondering if anyone knows if themotorola Digi-Tac comparitor also has a cor input line asit was said that theSpectra-Tac did. I have a Digi-Tac here with abad power supply board I would like to put into use.
Can you give me the details on this?? I have never done it, but am
sitting on plenty of spectra tac equipment that I would like to utilize.
