Thanks Juan. If I understand you correctly, it should work as I speculate.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] TKR-820 PL Control
Yes, I have the PDF manual.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: TKR-820 PL Control
Yeah...I may use a relay. The TX PL EN wasn't the thing I needed. However, the green wire was it. (Thanks Juan) I figure it's not a big deal to short it out because it's the wiper of a 47K pot, not the direct output of an amp. I tried it this evening and it works. The signal level was about 170 mV nominal. Now, I have to switch it with COR which is available in that module too. So, I'm thinking I'll use a reed relay to do the job. It should be quick enough. What's good about it is the regular PL works as advertised while DPL can be switched on with COR. So the plan is to link with DPL and let the repeater do it's regular thing with PL. Thanks Skipp. de WD7F John - Original Message - From: skipp025 [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2006 7:41 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: TKR-820 PL Control The green wire is the encode tone, just ground it or put a SPST switch of your choice and control it with your controller or with COR from the receiver, I vote for the relay spdt or dpdt method... even using a 4.7k resistor as a termination. Maybe not in this case... but it's not always wise to ground an (audio) amplifier output. A 220pf disc cap over the 4.7k load resistor keep stray rf under control. cheers, skipp Yahoo!
