I’m going to setup a TS-480 for 6 & 10 meters on FM only. Looking at the service manual, I don’t see any obvious COR pickup point for FM squelch active, anyone here have experience? w0sky ---

Data connector pin6 not doing it? I think, though, that may only respond to carrier squelch but not respond to PL. GeorgeC W2DB ---

Thanks, I don’t have the radio on me to test for another week so just wanted to see if someone did it. Thanks much I’ll try that pin on data connector > **···** > > On Wed, Nov 18, 2020 at 12:12 PM George Csahanin via AllStarLink Discussion Groups \<[noreply@community.allstarlink.org](mailto:noreply@community.allstarlink.org)\> wrote: > > > > ![](https://community.allstarlink.org/letter_avatar_proxy/v4/letter/g/258eb7/45.png "George\_Csahanin") | [George\_Csahanin](https://community.allstarlink.org/u/george_csahanin) > > > November 18 | > > > > > > - | - | > > > > Data connector pin6 not doing it?

It may only be accessible via software . Check out ARCP-480 ---

Skylar I checked the TS-480 a few moments ago. Pin 6 on the Data connector does follow the carrier squelch but NOT PL decode. So if in PL decode mode (“CT”) it will change state with just a carrier. I think I went over this with a guy using a TS2000 a month or so back. So if carrier squelch works for you its ok, and it needs a pull up resistor. See,s to be open collector output. I did pull up to +5V with 10K. The manual notes to keep the pull up voltage below 7V but I figure 5 is safer. And this holds for both 6 meters and 10 meters. But to me, using this for remote base I don’t se it working out well. You’d get keyups from carrier but no audio unless they had PL on their transmit signal on the right tone. So I looked to see if there is a discriminator or wideband out that can be used in Asterisk usbradio to decode PL but nope its speaker audio. You can see a very small amount of tone coming through but I’m talking tone level down maybe 30 db from peak audio, that won’t decode well. GeorgeC W2DB 2360/28599 ---
