uri to msf5000 interface - ever done one?
not enough tx audio problem ive been having. i cant get anymore than 1.1khz max dieviation out of it using the uri. if i use the uri amplifier to boost the audio , i get somewhere around 2.5khz, i am able to her that it is clearly distorted and choppy audio. so , ive got a digital capable uhf r2 msf5000. it worked great as a stand alone ham band repeater on 442.925 and the audio - everything was fine using its own controller. so i changed the codeplug to what some guy WA1??? on repeater-builder recommended for the settings for using an external controller. because i want the allstar box to control the whole box. i preferred dsp for audio. i soldered to the TP2 ,3,4,and TP9 test point to get my audio and everything else. i want to use those because it said the tp for reciever audio is pre-emphasis. so all the wires go to one area and then all my connections are soldered to the corresponding TestPoint connectors. so i tried making a interface cable to the j2 side mount plug (the 25pin on the side of the station) same result on audio. i used line 2+ and line 4+ for the audio. With the audio maxed out -still 1.1 khz coming out with no audio amp and about 2.6khz and distorted and choppy coming out with the audio amp. anything come to mind? i hope to get this figured out , so i can interface the next msf. where did y'all interface your uri's to an msf? thanks so much , james kd5oxm
Hi James, I used IC U835 Pin 13 through a 10K resistor, and I feed both voice and PL Encode through it. Monty Monty On Fri, Jan 25, 2013 at 4:47 PM, James Smith <kd5oxm@gmail.com> wrote:

I found this on batboard and kept it in my file. FYI. Connect URI to MSF5000 CODE: SELECT ALL MSF SSCB---------URI TP9 (Mic PTT)------1 TP8 (Mic Audio)---22 TP3 (Disc Audio)--21 TP7 (Ground)------13 Passes audio and CTCSS just fine. This was for a setup where the URI was handling CTCSS encode/decode and TX qualification so no COR signal was necessary. I set the receiver qualification to "ON" in the MSF Channel programming and set my PTT priority to "L". http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=95382&p=420413&hilit=allsta... 73, Eric 4Z5UG / WA6IGR Allstar Node: 28422 4Z5UG@guth.us<mailto:4Z5UG@guth.us> Israel Direct: 077-950-9451 USA Direct: +1-720-377-3840 Skype: ericrguth From: app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of James Smith Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2013 1:48 AM To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: [App_rpt-users] uri to msf5000 interface - ever done one? not enough tx audio problem ive been having. i cant get anymore than 1.1khz max dieviation out of it using the uri. if i use the uri amplifier to boost the audio , i get somewhere around 2.5khz, i am able to her that it is clearly distorted and choppy audio. so , ive got a digital capable uhf r2 msf5000. it worked great as a stand alone ham band repeater on 442.925 and the audio - everything was fine using its own controller. so i changed the codeplug to what some guy WA1??? on repeater-builder recommended for the settings for using an external controller. because i want the allstar box to control the whole box. i preferred dsp for audio. i soldered to the TP2 ,3,4,and TP9 test point to get my audio and everything else. i want to use those because it said the tp for reciever audio is pre-emphasis. so all the wires go to one area and then all my connections are soldered to the corresponding TestPoint connectors. so i tried making a interface cable to the j2 side mount plug (the 25pin on the side of the station) same result on audio. i used line 2+ and line 4+ for the audio.
