My scope does not really work very well anymore but I'll see if I can get a P-P reading. What value cap should I put on the discriminator line?73--On Sun, Mar 27, 2016 at 5:08 PM, Bryan Fields <Bryan@bryanfields.net> wrote:On 3/27/16 5:12 PM, Skyler F wrote:

Yes, I have a number of them in place and find they work perfectly with the
RTCM. It can give about 2v P-P on the discriminator pin, and has the high
frequency compute the RTCM squelch needs.
My prime setup is here:

Note you'll want to put a cap in line, as the discriminator is DC coupled in
the hamtronics. Can you put a scope on the discriminator line and measure the
voltage? You might have a problem with the receiver.
