: 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

This the circuit I have always used to key a Mastr II with cos voltage source inside the Mastr II. It requires a positive going voltage to key the Mastr II I know +7.5 volts works with the values listed. tom attachment: Cos.jpg

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

does the relay have a diode installed across the coil ? is it the correct polarity ?
