MLC8000 simplex voting problem
Posted: Tue Nov 11, 2014 2:43 pm
I'm having an issue with a new voting system we just installed... It is an IP simulcast system with 3 transmit sites and a handful of Rx-only sites, and is simplex analog. Transmit sites all consist of GTR8000 stations with MLC8000's, and receive sites are a mix of Quantars, ATAC receivers and MTR3000's set up as Rx-only.
The problem is, there is one site that is receiving console audio and being voted, causing an echo at the op positions. The comparator display in the MLC Configuration Tool shows the site being voted, but does not show a receive indication from any other Rx-only site. I tried swapping the MLC with a spare and still get the same issue. The configuration of the problematic AGU is identical to all other Rx-only units. The receiver is the only MTR3000 in the mix, but it is set up as Rx-only with status tone, just like all the other receivers. Also, I can't imagine there is an issue with the VGU, as all other sites function perfectly. Console is Gold Elite, but shouldn't make any difference.
Has anyone else come across this? It's driving me nuts...
