<div>I've been following this with some
interest. One of the fundamental issues with
the PCGM was the master clock going to the
radio was unable to be modulated. This made
low frequency signals (PL) distort, and
digital PL was even worse. </div>

I wanted to throw
this email out to
the group for all
those who want to
simulcast with the
RTCM. For those
who don't know, in
order to make the
RTCM suitable for
simulcast you must
have a more
accurate 9.6 MHz
clock for the RTCM
in order to ensure
the audio sounds
acceptable in the
overlap areas. I
did this a few
months ago using
9.6 MHz OCXO's.
This worked
reasonably well.
Not as well as I
would have liked
but the system was
very usable, but
of course I wanted
it to be better.
Since the PCGM
(Programmable
Clock Generation
Module) is no
longer available,
I decided to roll
my own as some
say.<br clear="none">
I created a PLL
circuit that can
accept a 10 MHz, 1
MHz or 100 KHz
reference input
and produce a
phase locked 9.6
MHz out for the
RTCM. I have been
testing this over
the past few days
and it has made an
great improvement
in the audio
quality in the
overlap. The
quality of the
audio in the
overlap areas
sounds very, very
good, it's very
similar to what I
expect to hear in
commercial
simulcast systems.
My circuit is
heavily based off
of an old Motorola
MSF5000 HSO PLL
circuit that I was
able to adapt and
modify to my
needs. There are
other uses for
this circuit that
make it attractive
for simulcasting
but I wont get
into them here. I
am will to share
my schematic and
bill of materials
(digikey) with
anyone. Please
send me an email
and I will be
willing to share
all of my
information on the
project.<br clear="none">
