RE: [Repeater-Builder] MSF Squelch EEpot
Doesn't that (squelch tail without reverse burst) already occur? If so, I'm not particularly worried about it. Mark - N9WYS _ From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of James Delancy PL only squelch will work solely on the PL detect function of the station. This means that if the PL coming out of the user radio is good and clean, it will hear to the noise floor. That also means that if the user radios do not have reverse burst on them, then every unkey will yield a burst of squelch noise. James N9WYS wrote: Adam... My experience with a C85GFB is that my squelch also seems a bit tight, but so far I have not been able to do anything about it. I set it to threshold when I had the service monitor on it, and the station was within specifications. FWIW - I currently have the station set for AND squelch, but have been told that PL-only squelch may be a bit more forgiving. I just haven't had an opportunity to get to the tower and change the setting to see for myself whether this is true. Mark - N9WYS No virus found in this incoming message.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] MSF Squelch EEpot
Receiver Squelch is just that ... a level at which the local receiver un-squelches. The repeater squelch is the level the station uses to determine (for its own internal controller) when it is actually going to pass a signal through for repeat. I would recommend that you just set both at the same level. The squelch knob on the front of the SSCB may also affect your squelch levels depending on where you are deriving your COR signaling. James Adam Feuer wrote: After interfacing my C74CXB to an external controller, everything seems to be playing real nice. In scrutinizing received signals, it seems as if the the MSF squelch is a little tight and not letting week signals become week but rather just squelching them out. The receiver is programmed for CTCSS decode so I would like to loosen the squelch a little. In the list of available EEpots, there are two settings that I'm not totally familiar with: Repeater Squelch and Receiver Squelch. If someone could provide me an explanation of both as well as which one I should lower to help my issue, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Adam N2ACF Yahoo! Groups Links

Hi Mark, Good to know and thanks! I haven't been back to the repeater yet but when I get there, I'll make some small adjustments. Thanks again! Adam N2ACF N9WYS wrote: Adam...
