Jamey,
If you did read through that thread, why would you still be using status
tone to indicate a COR signal?

I have a problem that is got me swamped.
I converted a Hamtronics 2m amp into a 220 amp. Just followed the
schematic and changed all the caps and redid the coils.
Problem is that for 2 watts in I get 2 to 3 watts out. For a simple
1 transistor circuit it don't make sense.

TKR850. Two questions (at this point): Can the output be turned down
to 7-10 watts in the software; and should I be concerned about a
sensitivity rating of .35uv compared to a measured .18uv on the
Hamtronics? This is for th
That way I don't have to do any major mods to the voter. I prefer to run it
the way it was intended.

It doesnt require any mods to the voter. Use the radio links as conventional
except for inserting idle tone from the link receiver when no signal is
present,its easier than trying to keep link transmitters on 24/7,IMHO
You can build a tone generator from a 555,lots of circuits around.

You could probably use the tone encoder assembly out of a used
Motorola Controller.
Before I try sorting out if I have one / convert something else
to do that, see what others on here say.

Optimum spacing center to center should be 0.85 to 0.95 wavelength.
Sometimes a phasing harness won't allow you to get that far, so you do the
best you can.

I have used the 2175 hz status tone encoder module with Maxtrac receivers.
Works great...
Also have converted the SpectraTac comparator to work with 24/7 links with
status tone and also using some with cor, without using the 2175 generator at
the receive end. I can provide you with details

Michael,
You pose a crucial question: Which is better, sensitivity or
selectivity? The Kenwood TKR repeaters are at the low end of
commercial-quality equipment.

Whole states have found that they (Kenwood Systems)work better and longer

First off yes, you can adjust the level to any drive power you want to drive

The GE voter and M's voter both have COR input lines. The status tone is
used when you have a continuous audio path between the voter and the voter
Rx; Ex: Telephone lines/ Microwave Mux. When you use a keyed up link you
normally would use the COR line to indicate status.

If it is a Motorola spectra tac unit, it SHOULD be run with the status
tone. The status tone sets the AGC so that all the receivers are at the
same level coming in.

I am really surprised about the negative comments on
the Kenwood repeater topic here lately. We run dozens
of TKR-850's commercially and have never had a problem
with any of them. We've sold hundreds and hundreds of
they're radios, and have never had any problems with
them either (abuse aside). T

Status tone does set the agc in the sqm. Very impotant when using phone lines with varying losses. When using rf links with fixed levels a simple mod makes the agc constant. Works great when using the cor mod.

Steve I think you have more than a problem
with Kenwood…it's either your dealer or the way the situation was
handled. I was a Kenwood dealer for over 20 years (retired last year), and
Kenwood was always responsive to our needs. I've had "LEMONS" from

I have a bunch of the GE tone generator panels available if anyone needs
any, most were used with various GE MASTR receivers. They're 19"
rack-mount, about 1" high, they were used with a GE Voter so I belive
they're currently setup for a 1950 Hz status tone.
