The latest and FINAL update on this project... Today, a new-version Master Decoder card (TRN 6165A) arrived via mail. (**MANY thanks, Gerald!!**)
You know, it's AMAZING how well the radio works when it has all the right parts in it! I have 700 Hz of PL deviation and 4.7kHz max voice deviation. It's playing just like mother "M" designed it to!!! Thanks to everyone who helped with this project, whether it was with hardware, schematics, suggestions or moral support. The machine should be on-the-air within the next two weeks. 73 de Mark - N9WYS / WQIV271
