I prefer active high for just the reason that you described. I usually fuse my equipment individually, so a blown fuse in the receiver can cause an active low to be sent to the controller, thereby keying the transmitter. If I do use active low, I put a pull-up resistor in the controller and t

Hello to group, What is the advantage of an active low COR.  Most I have talked to say they have their controllers set that way, so I set mine that way,plus the Maxtrac I am using as a receiver default is active low. I simulated a power failure to the reciever and the line went low and the trans
