Right now the problems I'm having are as follows.
A Buzz or hum
- Solution Ground loop isolator
Overload of inputs
Battery life
- Solution new phone ( For testing I'm using my cordless because its the only phone I have with the correct jack.)
Click sound
- This may be fixed by the line converter/ground loop isolator. If not it may be fixed by a small capacitor.
I can't test TX and RX at the same time until I receive the ground loop isolator due to the wiring of my radio. It would stay in RX only because the PTT button would remain active.
One of the parts I'm waiting for in the mail is a Line converter with a built in ground loop Isolator.
The other part I'm waiting for is my mini phone so I can stop using my cordless. Those parts are in my diagram. I simply have not been able to test them because I haven't received them
Currently I can dial in to my radio and listen by sip address or phone number. I have called it from my cell phone, a local phone, and by extension.
A company makes a repeater controller called a
Radio-Tone duplex repeater that I believe would hook just about any radio into this system with a custom made cable. If the radio you are using has VOX built in that piece of hardware should not be needed.
