Fixed level audio output from MaxTrac 100
Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2018 12:03 pm
Hello all,
I am new to this forum and new to MaxTracs. I've done a message search and didn't really come up with an answer so I thought I'd post a new thread.
I have a MaxTrac 100 that has been programmed for "receive-only" in order to use it for an Internet radio stream. The radio has the 5 pin accessory connector which only has an "Ext Spkr" output. My question is whether there is a jumper setting or modification I can make that will provide a fixed-level audio output; one that is independent of the volume control setting.
Also, is there a jumper or modification that will allow the speaker volume level to go all the way to zero? Currently, turning the volume control all the way down does not completely mute the radio.
On both of the above, I'm handy with a soldering iron if physical modifications are necessary. I can't imagine I'm the first to want to do something like this so I thought I'd post here to avoid re-inventing the wheel. Any insight you guys can provide would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance and 73,
