[App_rpt-users] Using a Master II

Wed Oct 6 13:53:43 UTC 2010

Since Im a Motorola dude and not a GE dude, I cant say this as an absolute fact, but
it would be pretty darned obvious that you should be taking audio from where the stock
PL board would be taking it :-). The only GE experience I have had (since perhaps
the "Progress Line" days... oops, I guess Im dating myself here!!) is a GE MVP which
I understand is VERY similar in basic design to the MASTR II, and the volume-sqlelch
HI signal was a MARVELOUS place to find VERY nice discriminator audio in that case.

This is making some sense
now.  I did pull off the back plane but I never traced it back to see
where exactly it was coming from.  Many moons ago I followed the Scom 7k
to Master II hookup info.  I have always just used that same spot on all
other controllers in the past without an issue and excellent audio.  I will
give that a try tonight.  I know what pin you are referring to.  It
would be the same pin that you would use in a mobile conversion and it is also
available where the stock PL board would plug in.  

Thanks and I will give it a try
this evening!

I have set up a Master II repeater station in full duplex
mode using a URI for dsp squelch and dsp pl decode and it works just fine. The
main thing is to connect it to the volume/squelch hi (raw discriminator) or you
will have problems. The master II should be able to give you 1V p-p output with
1k tone @ 3k dev on the volumw/squelch hi which is not available on the back
plane. You have to pull it off one of the connectors on the drawer. Have to
check my notes on what pin. 

Any way I have a couple of units working in this manner with no problems.

So I have been using a GE Master II repeater (actual
repeater, not a converted mobile) for the allstar node in full duplex repeater
mode.  I noticed it just doesn’t dig too well when using the fob to
decode the PL.  I have a maxtrac on another fob and that will dig into the
noise great.  As a test I hooked up a ts32 and ran the output of that in
the CAS/COR on the fob and it worked great!  I want to try to get the
built in decoder working correctly though.  Another friend of mine is also
running a GE Master II and he is having the same problem.  When we run the
rxnoise level from either the radio-tune-menu or using the radio tune command
from asterisk it always fails.  Anyone have any suggestions on a way to
resolve this?   I have another use for my hardware pl decoder so I
would like to get the USB Frob working correctly!!!!
