CTCSS and 1750 tone burst.

For those observant ones of you will have noticed that -

CTCSS is now enabled on both RX and TX (ie Encode and Decode) This required a bit of bypassing and modification of the logic board.

1750hz tone burst is now working. This seems to have been caused by a dirty IC socket. All of the sockets on the board have been cleaned.

Hope you find this useful. And please don't forget the Interlink is active. Information on usage is contained elsewhere on the blog.

Off Air for maintenance

Off for a few days and John has some time so UB will be off air today for some maintenance. I hope to have it back on latter today of tomorrow morning.
