[App_rpt-users] Noisy Sound FOBS

[Jim Duuuude]

Did you use the sleeve of the mic input as the GND reference, or did you make the
(often smokey) mistake of even connecting to the sleeve of the headphone output,
which, if the chip didnt blow up from being shorted is at VCC/2??

Hey guys,

I just got in some really cheap CM108 type sound FOB's from China, they work, I use the DSP for COR and CTCSS with the DB25 pins for ptt. However, I am hearing some really noisy sound when I access this node. I setup a DMK URI on the same node, no noise. 

Has anyone encountered this before?

Is it the cheap sound FOB's or is there something else I need to do.

I have my audio voitage divider feeding the RX Input, I have that fed by a 10uf cap. No DC bias on the chip. I am feeding the FOB with a VHF Maxtrac 300 discriminator audio, JU551 in position A. plenty of audio, PL detect and COR is very reliable. I use this as a RX only node. A very simple hardware configuration.

Any ideas?
