[K6BW] New Repeater Controller

[Josh Heide (PINE)]

It is of importance to preserve the audio processing in the GE
repeater. It is better than any outside controller can provide. However,
during phone patch operation, the repeater must be disabled. This can be
easily done using the auxillary contacts on the patch to operate the
repeat disable function on the repeater. This will not interfear with the
operation of the CWID. What we need to find is a proper service manual for
this type of GE MASTR II repeater. It is the newer model that does not
utilize the card cage like the older models (no indivudle cards for time
out, repeat level, DC control and such, it has one board with IC's for all
functions). I am attempting to locate a manual, but I doubt my source has
one. We want this to be a top-notch system with the best possible
audio quality.
