Re: [App_rpt-users] Mastr II and URI low TX audio
Hello David, I am guessing the mastr ii radios have a preamp on the mic to get the voltages up. This radio is a VHF High band with the PLL exciter. I did change out the PLL exciter thinking it was bad but I had the same result. I will find out on the GE list to see if anyone there had the same problem. I will report back here with results in case someone else wants to do the same thing. Thanks for the info. boB - W5EVH On Thu, Aug 15, 2013 at 11:08 PM, David McGough <kb4fxc@inttek.net> wrote:
Bob,
I haven't tried directly driving a MastrII TX with a URI. However, I do know that, depending on how the TX is configured, they may require substantial audio drive voltage to get sufficent deviation.

I have a Mastr II mobile tuned up in the ham bands. Trying to set the audio levels. RX worked great. Problem with TX audio, I can only get 2KHz deviation max if I set the level to 999 in app_rpt. I am using the URI and have wired it to use the 6db amplifier on board. Anyone else run into this problem?

That is strange. I have never had a problem with either type of exciter on a master II. I will be interested in what you find out.
