Hello again. I have a UHF MSR2000 up and running now. Most of my radios have the reverse burst in them. But just about all ham grade radios do not. Is there a way to get rid of the squelch crash from the repeater when a non commercial grade radio is used? Repeater is stock, and would like t

If I remember there is a AND Squelch mod that like the Micor can be done on the MSR2000 repeater. Or you can use one the out board repeater controllers like an ARCOM or S-COM with the audio delay board. Paul R. Dumdie Jr. "73" W9DWP/R IRLP-NODE-4455 443.025/2A 145.270/1B/1Z/NAC-293 ARC-R

Eric, The adjustments for FL101 are very easy to access and are not at all hidden. The problem most likely lies in the physical size of the filter which will limit it's low end performance. The exciter tuning chart in the 68P81061E55 service manual shows the low end of the range at 440MHZ. Th

A possible solution is to incorporate an audio delay device, available from several vendors, in the repeater audio chain. When the delay is adjusted correctly, the loss of carrier mutes the delayed audio so that the crash is not heard. Here is one such device: 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Ori

The alignment procedure for this filter is part of the UHF Transmitter section in the UHF Base and Repeater Station manual [e.g. 68P81061E55-C]. If you look at the schematic for the exciter [e.g. PEPS-37344-C covering TLE5502A simplex / TLE5512B duplex] you will find within the bandpass filter
