[App_rpt-users] RTCM BEW Mode/Quantar Interfacing

[Caleb Pal]

Hello all,

We received our RTCM's this week, and I am working to interface them to 
the Quantar. I've run into a few issues:

1.) AUX TX Audio. I've had success with one machine in getting the audio 
out of Pin 5 of the Telco connector, but not on the other. Is creating a 
wildcard table to enable "AUXTX-TX ON" when there is an input on Pin 9 
(PTT) the correct method to enable TX audio output on Pin 5?

1.) BEW Mode. My RTCM's show it as unavailable as an option to enable. 
Is there a trick to enabling it?

2.) I cannot seem to get the squelch calibrated. I get a slow flashing 
light a little while after I enable squelch cal, which seems to indicate 
low discriminator noise. I tried enabling jumper JP1 with no change. 
Does BEW mode need to be enabled to get a proper squelch calibration 
with the Quantar? Tim suggested that some older firmware version may not 
provide enough discriminator noise. I want to be sure I've exhausted all 
options before I hunt for SCM with newer firmware for these machines.

Thanks,

Caleb
