[Repeater-Builder] Maxtrac Mic-Hook software option?
Hello to you Maxtrac people... Please help me answer an off group email information request. Re: Maxtrac Mobile used as a repeater receiver. Is there a way in programming software to force a mic off-hook CTCSS Decode without having to actually have the mic or a mute plug in the radio front mic jack? Easy enough to make the modular mic on-hook plugs but some radios will allow you to toggle the CTCSS function in software. Thanks in advance for your replies. cheers, skipp

Yes. Check the Radio-Wide settings page, left column, bottom. There should be something regarding the hang-up box (HUB). TAB to that field, press F1, read the HELP screen about it, and make the appropriate choice. Most people just short out pins 3+4 on the back of the MIC jack inside the control head. You can still unsquelch the radio by using the MON button on the front.

Sorry forgot to give J8 or P8 pin number ( Pin 15 ). w4cso - Original Message - From: Camilo So To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2008 3:43 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Maxtrac Mic-Hook software option? There is two way to do it, one solder a wire on P8 or J8 or use a mic plug and solder a wire between pin 3 and 4, with the mic plug in its on PL or DPL, if you use the P8 or J8 by soldering a wire and build a DTMF board as a remote control with 3 digit code to turn on and off the PL. 73 W4CSO - Original Message - From: skipp025 To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, July 06, 2008 11:19 AM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Maxtrac Mic-Hook software option?
