A man who has been working with app_rpt and the USB fobs for a number of years, and his<br>sister, who has just recently gotten interested in doing the same are having a discussion:<br><br>The sister asks: "Why do you have to set the squelch at least 100 points higher then the no-signal RSSI value now,<br>but you didnt used to have to several years ago?'.<br><br>He replies, "Well, thats just because of history, sis."<br><br>JIM<br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2010 09:52:54 -0400<br>From: jrorke@cogeco.ca<br>To: app_rpt-users@qrvc.com<br>Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] Using a Master II<br><br>

I think the audio out lines on the back plane are de-emphasized or
flat to 3k then it rolls off. Either way In this case that is not
what you want. If you were connecting to a hardware controller and
using the cas/RX mute then it works just fine. <br>
In the case of using DSP squelch and DSP L decode by the fob/ URI it
must be connected to the Discriminator. You could also set your
node to speaker out instead of flat and use the USB for the cas
connection. That should work too. <br>
<br>
I personally like using the DSP Squelch and DSP tone as it is very
quick - no squelch busts! That is... if you have the RX squelch set
right. <span class="ecxmoz-smiley-s3"><span> ;-) </span></span><br>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal">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. <br>
<br>
Any way I have a couple of units working in this manner with
no problems.<br>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal">So I have been using a GE Master II
repeater (actual
repeater, not a converted mobile) for the allstar node in full
duplex repeater

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!!!!</p>
