[App_rpt] Making USB sound card dongle connections to MastrII

[Stephen Rodgers]

Fred,


I've never interfaced a MastrII, and chances are no one else has done
this yet, but you should be able to find the following signals in the
service manual for the mastrII:

USBFOB			MastrII
PTT		-> 	PTT
Audio Out	-> 	Mic Audio
Audio in 	<- 	Discriminator Audio

COR is not required if you connect receive audio directly to the
discriminator. If you don't want to use the squelch code in
chan_usbradio.c, then hook up the COR to the equivalent received signal
indicator on the MastrII.

Also take a look in the service manual and make sure the self-repeat
mode is disabled. You want all audio and control to go through the USB
fob. Also, the repeaterbuilder site has extensive information on GE
MastrII radios, and goes into detail on how to interface them to a
repeater controller.
