: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: MASTR II PTT OK. I am at my whit’s end here. The transistor won’t bring the PTT line down enough to trigger. The optoisolator won’t either. The mechanical relays can’t be latched by the com port. The SSR latches but won’t unlatch with DC. So do I run the

I got a Solid State Relay and the com port will trigger it. (same thing I use to control my Christmas lights from my computer). However for some reason the PTT won’t drop when the SSR shuts off. I know there is some voltage bleed on them but I can’t figure out why it would stay grounded after

Vern, If your relay coil doesn't draw very much current it probably would work. I would say using a opto isolator or minumum a transistor switch would be a more practical method. I use a simple 2n transitor to fire a MII for echolink. Randy --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "Ve
