[Repeater-Builder] Micor COS issues.... continuing

2010-06-21 Thread Josh
I've been fighting this issue for a while now. I've tried some bandaids to deal with it, tried multiple repeater controllers (including one I designed myself with an ATMEGA328 Microcontroller (I'll probably be releasing this design as open source coming up)... and I'm fighting the same problem

Hi Josh, Instead of resistors, try diodes in series. Each Diode will drop your voltage. I have series a couple to get rid of standing voltage, especially if you are down to a half volt or so. 73 JIM On Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 11:57 AM, Josh josh.kit...@gmail.com wrote: I've been fighting this

Here's how we've designed our controllers' COR, CTCSS, and logic inputs for many years: Feed the COR signal to the top of a voltage divider. The upper resistor is 10K and the lower is 4.7K. Feed the junction of the divider to the base of an NPN such as a 2N3904, 2N, etc. You'll
