<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>I dont have any GE equipment. I just asked the "Guru" on your behalf.<br><br>From my VERY limited experience with other people's GE "stuff", the transmitter,<br>being phase modulated, has 2 inputs. One for "program audio" (amplified audio from<br>the MIC) and one from the CTCSS ("Channel Guard" as it's known in the GE world, I believe)<br>encoder. This requires you a use, say, the 'A' output for program audio and the 'B' output for<br>CTCSS. In fact it was GE transmitting equipment that "inspired" us (me/Steve Henke) to <br>implement the 2 independent outputs the way in which we did. Of course, the 'other' output<br>(usually 'B') can also be used to drive a 'local speaker' or something of the sort, in a case where the 'main' (usually 'A') output is generating directly-modulate-able audio (pre-emphasized audio<br>along with CTCSS).<br><br>That's about all I know. Sorry.<br><br>Jim<br><br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2015 21:42:55 -0400<br>Subject: RE: [App_rpt-users] Mastr II and usbradio<br>From: N1XBM@amsat.org<br>To: telesistant@hotmail.com<br><br><p dir="ltr">When you say feeding "program audio" and PL seperate, do you mean on the A and B lines to the same input. Or A going to one input and B going to a different input. </p>
<p dir="ltr">How would you say your audio quality is. I get this strange intermittent. Clicking or popping sound. Almost like a heaphone or microphone being plugged into a board. It's soft but noticeable. Usually at the beginning of keyup or at the end of transmission. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I noticed this one one repeater I setup. I then setup a second repeater also a mastr ii at a differnt location also using usbradio and I hear the exact same sound. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I was wondering if you would be willing to share how you interfaced your equipment and possibly a copy of your usbradio.conf file. I'd like to rule out what is going on.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Also maybe do you notice how clean your repeater audio is. Not many people compain about or even notice it but I do.</p>
