I think PL decode is likely going to be a more practical option than DCS as if the repeater output
is transmitting PL then the problem is solved.  Most repeater outputs don't send DCS so that really
won't work.  I suspect it's just an unfortunate harmonic or mixing product and there's no cure for
that.

There's really no way to configure the V7 this way.  If the other =
station
you listen to could pass through a PL to the uhf (as Ray suggested) then =
you
could use the tone squelch on uhf.  Or if the other station could pass =
the
dtmf tones you could use dtmf tone squelch to open the uhf squelch.  Not
really what you want, but the only thing I can think of except to use
headphones on the uhf side.  Hmmm, someone should make an external =
speaker
that mutes when it detects RF, that shouldn't be hard to design.

Subject: TMV7A question


Hi, all.

I may have asked this question before, but seem unable to find any notes
from the list, so please forgive if I ask this again.

Does anyone know how to get the TMV7A to transmit on 2 meters, and
simultaneously mute the 440 side of the rig?  My son, who is also a ham,
lives in Kalamazoo, Mi, where the best way to get into a wide-coverage =
link
system is to transmit on 2 meters, and listen to the output on 440.  =
When I
try doing this with the TMV7A when in Kalamazoo, I get feedback through =
the
440 side, and the only way I can correct the problem is to turn down the
volume on the 440 side whenever I transmit.  That, of course, is =
somewhat of
a pain.

Any help with this would be appreciated.  I just have to believe that =
it's
possible to configure the radio to mute the 440 side when transmitting =
on
2-meters.

I know this is automatically done with the THF6A, but then again, the =
THF6A
only has one volume control.
