<p class=MsoNormal>Ok what level do you have with a full quieting signal 1k
tone with 3 k deviation?<br>
there should be no problem if there is ~ 1 v p-p.<br>
<br>
You can try setting thy rx boost off as Jim suggested if its too high.<br>
<br>
The out put can be adjusted on a pot in the discriminator box on the IF board
too.<br>

<p class=ecxmsonormal>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

<p class=ecxmsonormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>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. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<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
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!!!!<o:p></o:p></p>
