If you are looking for the discrimniator audio and you dont have the schematic here is something that you can try for a quick and dirty solution. Find your reciever module. Locate the feedthrough caps on the side of the Rx module. Take your scope or a high impedance voltmeter on the AC scale

It is not true! I have been buying repeaters from Maggiore for many years! I sat on his garden tractor years ago in his garage and watched him build my 220 repeater. They have had good and bad repeaters. But they have come a long way and build one of the finest repeaters on the market
