I haven't figured out exactly what Pin #1 SQC Squelch Signal Output lead characteristics of the Alinco DR-235T is. This is probably the COS that I will use from the receiver. I would like it to be a AND PL+COS output, but it probably is only PL decode out. We are going to experiment with DCS , as the DR-235T does CTCSS or DCS. Maybe the DCS encode/decode on the radio is better than the CTCSS operation.
Yes, this is not the best fix for the problem. My attempt is to make off-the-shelf products work in an acceptable configuration. Given an unlimited budget and unlimited time one could come up with a much better setup. 73, Joe, K1ike Nothing is totally useless, as it can always serve as a bad example.
