o R Norris:
Thanks for your response.? I have not made clear the need for the SignaLink.? When sending a digital message through the 6-pin data port, the modulation audio and PTT are generated in the SignaLink.? Thus, the PL must be included in that transmission to activate the repeater.
The mic path works FB, as it routes the PL tone with voice audio.
